Shutting off the valve doesn't drain anything. You need to open something lower than the faucet and open that faucet to let air take the place of the water.

How do you raise the height of an outdoor water faucet?

To raise the height of an outdoor water faucet, the best thing to do would be to get an extension for the existing pipe that will bring the faucet to the height desired. Remember to turn off the source of the outdoor faucet before starting this project. Remove the faucet valve, screw in the new pipe, replace the faucet valve. Sealing the ends of the new pipe with plumber's tape is also a good idea.

How do you get the outside tap to stop dripping after turning off water inside for the winter?

Outside Tap? outside faucet?/outside hosebibb?/outside spigot? well in most cases you are referring to the outside faucet that is dripping and I am guessing you have a ball valve or gate valve inside and when you shut of the ball/gate valve your outside faucet is still dripping and this means you have a leaky ball/gate valve which are known to leak slightly over the years and if your outside faucet is shutoff , then you need new seals in your outside faucet too. The easyest way to stop your leak is replace or repair your outside faucet if its a freezeless one. (just make sure your outside faucet has grade to drain the water out after you shut it off)
