| My son brings his 2 male dogs over , and one of them has started lifting his leg in my house. My son & Girlfriend are totally embarrassed and says he doesn't do that anywhere else. He's never even done it in their house . He's 4 & neutered, my dog is a female , 8 and spayed.They get along good. Why does he do this ? He did it right in front of us the first time - we yelled and he stopped. The last time he was here , after he left I found 2 wet spots on the kitchen throw rug. I can't figure it out . Why only my house ? **Edited to add - my house is clean except for dog hair |

| That makes so much sense. When our dogs get together , he's the biggest one and he seems to take over the house as soon as he walks in . My son's other dog is so passive ,he just stays in the backround. My dog is small & shy , but she'll snap and lunge at him when he steals her toys .(It's actually funny to watch ) Maybe that's his way of letting her know that she should leave him alone. I'm thinking of all the little scuffles they've gotten into - everything is falling in place now.I can see why .I'm so glad I asked -- thank you so much for helping me figure it out :) |
