When you observe the dogs with whom we share our homes and streets They have many interesting behaviors You may notice.

One of them is that they lift one leg while urinating. They do not do this to prevent urine from reaching their legs. There is a completely different and clever reason.

Male dogs in particular urinate not only for excretion, but also to mark their territory.

If you have a canine friend at home, you probably know that he actually marks those spots by urinating in different places when you take him outside. The important thing here is Not just marking; how they do the marking.

For example, if they urinated by squatting like humans and extending their hind legs backward, their urine would go straight to the ground and The ground would absorb that urine like a stream. So we can say that the smell would not be permanent.

When they lift their hind legs, they make the scent more permanent.

When dogs lift one leg to urinate (this is even called the racehorse position), they are urinating. They better aim it at a vertical surface. This allows the scent to last longer.

There are also important reasons why the smell is permanent.

Dog urine is like their GBT. Other dogs can smell this urine gender, health and stress level information, such as. Therefore, it is important that the scent lasts a long time and does not disappear.

Even small dogs with upward spraying motion They try to make themselves look bigger than they are. Even though it sounds funny, it makes sense…
