They mark their territory with their pee so they lift their leg to allow them to aim it onto an area it won't easily be removed from. If they just pee'd on the ground it would be walked on or washed away in the next rain more quickly than if it's one foot up a tree or on fire hydrant. :-)

Not all of them! I've seen alot do it with both legs on the floor. My friends rott used to pee on the pads like that all the time and we thought he's get it on his legs, but he never did! I think they lift their leg when they're aiming at something high like a bush or tree.

sure they do make diapers for canines, in spite of the indisputable fact that it is not mandatory on your canines's case. Male canines raise there leg to go away their heady scent up extreme the position it truly is maximum in all probability to be smelled by technique of yet another canines. I, too, had a male that stepped ahead arthritis and couldn't raise his leg to pee. He adapted slowly as his ailment superior. no pick to placed your canines down therefore.

They mark their territory when they pee. Lifting their leg to "send" it higher on the thing they are peeing on( post , fence etc.. ) it makes them bigger to other dogs.
(Alpha females) will also lift their legs to show they dominate.
