    Default The Higher the Poop the Better?

    Any biologists that can explain this behavior in dogs?
    It is interesting that puppies at 4 week this behavior already shows up.
    Recently heard on a plane.

    I have not the faintest idea about what you are referring to.

    ..my guy walks thru the tallest grass to get it thru his back legs, trying to leave his pile on top of it. I was told its a male dominance thing, leaving their scent the highest. Ive seen Coyote and Fox do the same atop stumps,etc...

    Is this what Eric was talking about? I noticed 2 of the males in this litter of pups pushing up against the fence and the retaining walls around the airing pen to void. And now that there's piles of snow, both the remaining female and male do the same thing on the snow, trying to get as high as possible. It's not every time, but enough for me to notice, I didn't think anything of it.

    Glad I'm not the only one who has no clue, I thought it was some sort of secret trainer lingo the OP was talking about.......

    But the real question is: Do any of you out there have a male who will lift his left and then take a crap at the same time? Mine will not always do it, but it seems like he is trying to multitask more and more lately.

    My Golden always liked to back his rear end up to tall grass to do his business and my buddies lab does the same thing. We just thought they were shy....

    My yellow doesn't exhibit any such behavior as of yet.

    I always think of it as a male thing. None of my bitches have done it.

    Yet.

    Mine likes to go in tall grass/weeds. At times he will lift a rear leg.
