Boy dogs and "pee aim"

Basenji Talk

  • This is not B specific, but anyone else have issues with their boy dogs having not so stellar aim when they squat to pee?? Riley seems to be better at hitting the goal posts than making it between them. He was getting so smelly I wondered if he EVER shoots a field goal! Sometimes I see him cleaning his front legs after a potty break but maybe he doesn't get it all. Or perhaps I bring them in too soon after he pees and once inside he forgets he had some cleaning up to do. Does anyone use a spray or treated wipes for in between baths?? We have used baby wipes for a quick wipe down but I'm not sure if they would take care of smelly "goal posts". I use them more for catching dust/dirt.
    Thoughts?


  • My boy pees on his front leg quite often when he squats. I just use some pet wipes.


  • Mick only lifted his leg for a brief time when he was 6 months old but not since and he is now 9 months old and squats. He pees on his front legs sometimes but i just wipe them with pet wipes as well.


  • Ya, um Indi definitely does that. Its like he doesn't care at all though


  • Keoki lifts his rear leg…. and pees on the front leg on a fairly regular basis.

    So gross.


  • Yes, Brando does the same thing…he'll also walk and keep peeing so he gets his front & back legs on a regular basis. But he is super cleanly and cleans himself up...usually on the walk.

    The only part that is somewhat gross to me is when Ruby sticks her head under his legs and drinks while he's peeing...I could do without that happening. Usually I can get her out of there, but sometimes she is too quick.


  • HAHHAHHA. sorry Renaultf1 but that was some beautiful imagery. =) thanks for the smile

    Oh thank goodness I am not alone. it's random, but Zaire will decide that she needs to stick her head right under Charlie when he is lifting his leg.. So gross. She does it less and less though as we have moved into the house and now if I see her doing it she gets cleaned off with the garden hose. :D


  • EL D sometimes starts walking away while still peeing - and of course wets his legs then (they can be so gross sometimes).

    The other day we met up with a new dog on the block and after the usual butt sniffing, the other dog (pomeranian) started licking EL D's p****. Double gross.

    Whoa that is something else. I know that Zip sometimes licks him under there but not while he's peeing. With Riley the pee smell when he hasn't cleaned up is unmistakeable. They both got baths yesterday and on our walk his white was so white it was very easy to see where it turned…yellow. Guuuuuh....really?

    Glad to offer that up in the morning :D. Brando has tried to do the same thing with Ruby, but I'm more careful with her because if he sticks her nose near her, she gets stage fright and stops…and then it takes another serious walk to get her to finish peeing.

    Jozie does that with Logan too sometimes. I know it can't hurt her but I still think it's gross. She doesn't do it with Baron though. Logan is in the early stages of kidney failure so maybe that has something to do with it?


  • Jayden doesn't lift his leg to pee and he doesn't squat like Cory. He looks like he is posed on the table for the judges examination. And he gets a sort of nonchalant look on his face and looks around. I expect to hear him whistling.

  • Ty does the semi-squat pee as well. Katie always makes sure 'he's clean' before he comes in the house. We call it the Basenji….....well, you know.

    Katie cleans herself into a frenzy sometimes. Licking, licking, licking. Back legs both thumping. One time, my daughter (in a tizzy because of visiting college students) blurted out "JEEZ MOM, Kate's masturbating in the dining room!!!"

    I never thought of it like that!!:eek: Now I can't get it out of my head:eek:

    ROTFL, I would have told her this…"you'd be doing it too if you could!!" LOLOL

    Back-at-ya Eski…...Why does a dog lick his balls? Because he can.!!:D

    Thanks for the laugh!!

    Does anyone know of a website that shows you how to trim a b's tail? Or, should that be left to doggie grooming 'experts'? Kipawa's tail is lovely now, but any bushier and I think I might want to tidy it up.

    our garden is loaded with fieldmouses at the moment…. my B's do not care very much but my Ibizan hounds snack them all the time, sometimes they bring one inside for me to have, as a present, and they look quite offended when they notice I throw their delicious present in the garbage can ....

    Well, bless your heart. But I am afraid this type of "rough" treatment can make this poor dog a problem, down the road. Why do they even have this dog? Status sic?

    She-Ra helps clean off the Peanut Butter knife (held so she won't cut herself (even though it's a butter knife I've heard stories)) when I'm done with it. Gonna have to try the mashed potato beater this Thanksgiving (it's her first…she's seen this big bird in the fridge but can't quite figure out what to do about it! :) ).

    If I put my arm around Nika when we're on the couch and my hand rests on her leg, she'll lick my hand for 10 minutes.

    I used to say my dog was aggressive until I read this thread… Now I say it is more of a defensive mechanism for Buddi. Buddi doesn't like anyone or anything to approach him. He wants to smell and get to know them or it first. If someone new comes into the house I tell them not to acknowledge Buddi at first and then once he has finished getting to know them he will walk away. After that he is fine. But if someone walks in and puts their hand towards him he instantly turns into a very loud and shows aggressive behavior like he is going to attack. The theory has worked very well to date. With dogs it is a little different. He also doesnt like small dogs. The ones close to his size or larger we have never had a problem. Should I handle the situations in a different manner? Also he doesnt go to a doggie spa or day care so we make sure to go to the park and keep him socialized with dogs there and ones that he knows. We also have friends with young kids and he loves them. Has never growled or snipped at them. He LOVES to play!!!!
