Dogs mark their territory with pee as it’s sort of like leaving a message. Other dogs may come, check the message, and then mark over or close to the original area to leave their own message.

These letters include a lot of fascinating information, and by reading his "pee-mail," a dog can learn the gender of the dogs who came before him as well as whether or not they were spayed or neutered.

He can also detect the presence of a female in heat or about to become pregnant, as well as assess the well-being, degree of stress, and social standing of the dogs that have previously marked the location. 

Dogs that mark their territory may do so in a variety of settings, such as during neighborhood walks or in dog parks. Not all dogs mark outdoors as well as inside their own homes.

The gender of the dog can also affect it. Talking about dogs marking territories outside, the OP in today’s story happens to be one of those whose shop is a spot for dogs to urinate.

So one day, a lady just let her dog urinate in front of the job, so the OP went out to tell the lady to stop her dog from doing so next time, but then things got intense. Find out all that happened by reading the full story below. 

The Headline...

Would you mind not letting your dog wee here?

I shouldn't be making such a request

The dog would be dead soon as it was old

As usual, the comments rolled in and Redditors gave the OP a lot of helpful tips to deter dogs from urinating in front of his shop. Here are some of their comments below.

Sticking the diaper on the mutt

None of your customers could tip toe?

Getting some dog repellent could do the trick

You're in a more justified place to say this

Buying sprays that will help deter dogs from sniffing and peeing

Vinegar does wonders

This Redditor is suggesting a funny solution

She was embarrassed you said something to her

It is a not a normal part of shop maintenance

She just wants to off load the responsibility

This Redditor is suggesting an enzyme cleaner

Your request was absolutely reasonable

I would be horrified if my dog did that

Spray or pour vinegar on the spot to cover up the smell

You should be paying attention to your dog

Scrub the area with a strong cleaner

Vinegar might help while it's fresh

Pour water over the wee and let it splash on her

You just got karened

Spray something to deter them

If your dog marks in unfamiliar environments or in areas where other dogs have urinated, it can be a sort of territorial marking. Although neutered males and spayed females frequently mark their territory as well, intact males suffer from the issue considerably more frequently.

Redditors offered helpful tips to the OP, and we hope it deters such things from happening again.
