When it comes to Lahsa Apso potty training, or housetraining any other type of puppy or dog for that matter, there is a vast difference between dogs and bitches when it comes to going out to have a pee... especially when they are taken out for a walk.
When bitches go out for walkies, or just to relieve themselves outside, they will go and have a single LONG pee. There is no need for them to stake out a territory like dogs, or to keep, or establish, their place in the pecking order of the dog population in that area.
With dogs they want to establish that they are TOP DOG. They pee little and often, and also try to pee higher up on any area that has previously been 'watered' by another dog. [This behaviour can be altered to a degree by training in a certain way - but we won't go into that here.]
A perfect illustration, and SO funny, was our young male RR named Shimba. We took him out for what would be a 3 mile walk around a reservoir - the first time he had visited the area. Just before we got out of the car to begin our walk a large party of people with about 10 dogs started their walk in the same direction as that which we were going to take. Just picture the scene in your minds eye - I can still see it now - imagine what it must have looked like.
You have never seen anything so funny as our young macho male trying to out-pee all the other dogs put together! Rushing from one spot to another, raising one leg or the other in an amazing display. At one time he was in such a hurry that he hadn't put one leg down before raising the other - the result was hilarious.
Enjoy your picture and DO enjoy your pets they will provide you with much fun, amusement, and joy!
