My little Italian Greyhound would lift his leg and still get pee on himself.  And just to add more flavor to the discussion, I've had girl dogs who lift their leg.   Then there is Jetta who squats and lifts one leg.  She always keeps life interesting! LOL

>> Mr. C has some idosyncriosies when it comes to relieving.  He does not lift his leg.  He squats and frequently sprays one of his front legs because he does not squat down far enough according to the trainer. Because I never know when or which leg he might hit unless he smells of urine, I do not know what do other than to wipe his legs after each time he relieves.  However, does anyone have any other suggestions or ideas about getting rid of the smell?
