[nagdu] Never worked a male before

[d m gina]

My friend had a male who showed her she was his, when he walked around 
her making a circle of peeing.
The instructor shared that when a dog does this, he is letting the 
person know he is hers and she is his.
Nun of my boys ever did this.
I thought it was interesting.
