Well, young male dogs usually find a place, stand, lean forward a little bit (urine falls on the ground) until they have finished emptying their bladder. As male dogs become older, after one years old about, they still lean forward a little but start to lift one hind leg. If you take them for a walk they will mark many things in their pathway. Sometimes it's a little comical.

It depends on which gender you`re talking about, if you mean a boy dog, it lifts it`s leg and allows pee to run through it`s penis.If you mean a girl dog, it squats down and allows pee to run through it`s vagina.

It's a bit like girls peeing standing up - they can, but it's not usual. Male dogs will often cock a leg partly to stop peeing all over themselves and partly to make a high mark on something. Female dogs can't usually aim as high as male dogs, so when marking, a female dog will pee sitting down. (Sometimes a talented female dog will mark like a male if she can get high enough!) However, if she just needs to pee kinda badly, she'll cock her leg like a boy and pee with her leg up to avoid splashing herself. Ahhh! I wonder if relief feels as wonderful for dogs, huh? ^_^

Female dogs do not spray. If your female dog is marking like a male dog, it may have a urinary tract or bladder infection. A spraying female dog should be examined by a veterinarian.

Why does a dog lift its hind leg to urinate?

Why do male dogs hike their leg to urinate?

It will get all over them unless they lift their legs to pee. More importantly, if it gets on the dog it will not "hit the spot" many canines urinate to display territory and show dominance. If it is on their leg- it does no good. I was reading on this today. What I found is that dogs do mark their territory as the previous answer indicates, but they lift their leg higher in order to get the urine just a little higher to appear as though that dog is bigger (more status) the he really has. Is it true? I don't know, but it sounds plausible.
