Do Neutered Dogs Still Lift Their Legs to Pee?

No, castration, or neutering, in dogs results in a number of changes in behavior and physical appearance. Neutered dogs generally have decreased levels of testosterone, which affects their hormonal balance and leads to several changes. One of these changes is the loss of the instinct to lift their legs when urinating. Unneutered male dogs lift their legs to mark their territory and to assert dominance. Neutering removes the need for this behavior, and neutered dogs typically urinate in a squatting position, similar to female dogs.
