What do you think of this, odd, but funny behavior - Page 2

GSDguy, the pee marking is common and normal. I'm always on the lookout for that by the ones that like to mark so much and see them making a beeline for the dog that will be the victim and will call off the sortie.

Moons, is she dominate or becoming so? She could be claiming her territory (you) and preventing the others from being around you. It's hard to tell for sure unless watching her, but she could be pushing into the space of others ( people and dogs) to claim possession. Some owners look at this as affectionate and flattering, but it's actually a declaration of possession.

My older male pees on his brother all of the time. They both make a game out of marking over where the other peed. One sees the other hiking his leg and he has to run over ASAP to do the same. Sometimes Baden can't wait for Faust to finish and hikes his leg while he is still peeing and pees on his brother. Never saw him just hike his leg and piss on bro while he was laying down or just standing around.

 I was just curious about it.  When I say they act like typical brother/sister they just have their little spurts, I understand they don't look at each other in that sense.  The female is just so much higher energy, but she's starting to mellow out more and more now, and they typically get along well.  I'm not sure if she just peed, she was sitting down at the time, staring off in the distance and Buck just trots up to her and marks.  As for other marking,  I've seen Buck and his dad both on opposite sides of a small tree before, marking.....what a father/son experience......

 

Phil, contact with another dog outside of the Husky pack?  About a week ago she was playing with someone elses dog.

I'll never forget the day my friend had his dog over though,  stopped in the yard, on leash, the dog just sniffs my friend, and then hikes his leg on the guy like he's a tree.  This is a tall dog too, and he really had to go.  I knew marking in itself wasn't uncommon I just didn't know about on other pack members with the dogs.

Shady,
none of the above.
She simply enjoys the feeling of touch.


Moons.

Our Wolf did that when we first got him off the plane from Idaho, he came out of the crate, I put his leash on him, walked him over to the bushes, he looked up at me, this being our first meeting, as if to say, "Sorry, but I gotta do this." He took a step forward, kicked up his leg & peed all over my leg into my shoe. Then he rolled his eyes back & looked at me like, "OK, you're mine now."  jackie harris
