Dog Bathroom issue

[McCheeseSteak]

Hey guys, I've received some good advice that last couple days so I'm back for more.

Not that huge of a problem really but was wondering if there is anything I can try for this

I have a 9 month old female Collie mix and when she squats to urine she starts moving around and walking off before she is done. This gets some urine on her and now she kind of smells like pee. Should I stand over her as she is peeing and hold her in place until she is finally done or will she grow out of this.

She will probably grow out of it. If she is on a leash (as she should be), just hold her in place.

Sounds like marking behavior to me.

Is she spayed?

You could possibly shape this behavior. stand over her with a food treat as she is urinating and help her stay in one spot, and then reward her.

She's probably just eager to get finished so she can go play. I wouldn't worry about it, myself. She'll probably just grow out of it. Sometimes a couple of my dogs get pee on themselves and I just rinse it off. Poor little Jose....anatomically, his little wing wanger is at a weird angle compared to his size.... or something. Ugggg. LOL.
