You must have seen dogs lifting their one leg and urinating on vertical surfaces. The amount of urine may be too small to qualify even as peeing but still they tend to do so frequently. So, do you wonder what are they are doing? What is the purpose of this typical behavior? As a matter of fact, the dogs do not pee when they raise their leg very frequently; they are busy with the process of scent marking- a common behavior among dogs. Dogs above the age of 3 months generally engage in scent marking. Both, female and male dogs can urine mark but usually male dogs urine mark often. Dogs mark for a number of reasons.
