why do dogs pee on my baby??!!

[lyndsey]

Hi! I am new here and thought I would post this question and see if any of you have an answer! Bella,almost 1, likes going to the dog park and when I have to be away for more than a day she visits her doggie kennel. My question is lately when we go the dog park and the last time she visited the kennel (this last weekend) the bigger boy dogs pee on her! The first time it happened I chalked it up to bad timing on one of their parts but well since it has now happend more than once I'm not thinking that is the case. Any ideas?? If it keeps happening we aren't going to the park anymore!

Does she stick her head under them to sniff their privates? Mack got his head peed on by a neighbor dog when he did that. It has only happened once so I chalked it up to bad timing.

My St. Bernard, Arrow, still squates to pee, doesn't lift his leg in the yard (probably because he has nothing to lift it on, there are no trees or bushes). When Gertie was little, she'd run under him and get a "shower". Maybe something like that happened? Welcome to our group! I'm sure someone else will have a better answer for you.

awwww! poor little girl. are these dogs owned by R. Kelly?

Sorry, haven't had any experience with this but it's probably bad timing as what the other say.

[MENTION=1539]sheila[/MENTION] - that was totally uncalled for! hahahahahaha

Oh my.. never heard of that before. That's just plain old rude! Poor baby!!

Maybe they are marking / claiming her?

 

[Mike Blaylock]

I'd say it's a marking territory issue.

 

[LariP]

Marking was my first guess too.

[MENTION=1897]lyndsey[/MENTION] Hmmm... never heard of that one before!! I'm afraid I have no idea ... Is your bully neutered?? It sounds to me as if they are "claiming" her, and the fact that it has happened in 2 different places with 2 different dogs makes me wonder if you didn't get all the urine smell off her after it happened the first time. Dogs urine can be quite potent stuff ... .. and the scent may have disappered to us but could still be very obvious to other dogs. I'd make sure that you give her a really good bath to try to neutralise that odour!!

On another note ... welcome to the site both of you ... I do hope you'll come back and visit us often. Would love to see more pics of Bella ... she looks a really pretty girl.

Haha oh great she's a human fire hydrant!! I guess that does make sense but really?? I will give her a good scrub down and we will have to wait and see, it might be a bit before we get to the park again since it's not fit for man nor beast here!! Do you think normal dog shampoo will be enough or do I use something else?? Thanks for all the help!

 

[kazzy220]

Hmmm..... can't help you too much with what shampoo to use exactly. I would have thought that after a couple of good baths the smell would be gone.
