My toy poodle stands on his front paws in a hand stand everytime he pees does anyone know how to train him?

Question

my little poodle always goes in a handstand when he pees and because hes doing that all the pee is just going all over his stomach and chest and i end up having to give him a bath almost everyday cause of the smell, i dont know if anyone else has had this problem but i want to know if anyone knows of a way to train him to pee like a "normal" dog?

Answer 1

They grow out of it. Mine used to do that too when he was little though he didn't pee all over himself. But everytime he was outside and would put his nose down, he'd do a handstand. In a few weeks, he'll grow out of it.

Answer 2

beleive it or not i have known dogs who did this, one was a chihuahua who did it his entire life, another was a poodle who stopped when he was nuetered

so i guess try neutering him, if not the best suggestion i have is a belly wrap that he can pee into, when you walk him so it doesnt spray all over him, i suppose you could also try a nu jump harness, it might throw him off balance enough to keep at least one rear foot on the lground
