Dog Training & Health

Hey everyone, its been a while and i hope you all are well... especially you Meezer :

I have a mini pin/chihuahua mix named Snickers. Hes 1 1/2 old and when he pees he lifts his leg... and call it bad aiming but it hits him in his chest. He has a very deep chest and a very small peter. Is there something that i can do here or am i destined to have a stinky chihuahua?
I wouldnt say it happens everytime but it definatly happens more often then not and it doesnt seem to bother him. Im not even sure that he notices when he does it.

Ok, I know it really isn't funny but it caught me just right! Probably the best thing you can do is go for a re-training and teach him that he not lift his leg! Yes, a male can be taught and no, I am not sure how to do it! This actually might be one to ask a vet or a professional groomer, not one from a big box place but one who has been around a while.... You might also get an answer from a breeder of these really small breeds!! I suppose it is a possibility there is a physical reason for this so call the vet first...

I am doing pretty well, thanks for asking! Will be trying to get my hand and wrist fixed one more time...It is a major problem now and not able to work the girls really at all... Don't know if you saw the note but Skylar is going to have puppies and I am still shaking in my boots about it!
