They are looking for spots where other dogs have already gone so they can remark the territory as theirs. Dogs use pee to mark their territory.

Dogshave a natural urge to relieve themselves where the rest of their pack does. They locate the spot by scent; this is why dogs will generally spend some time sniffing the ground before they relieve themselves.

A certain smell I think. Most male dogs will urinate whereever other animals have as well within their territory. I think they are 'looking' for a certain smell that tells them to let it go.

They like to mark their territory...so they are sniffing for other animal scents.
