Answer #1

I heard somewhere, yet, I have no sources to back it up with, but they told me that the pee gives up a scent of how secure the person is.

the dog also uses it to acknowlegde where is the persons territory around the house or were ever

Answer #2

My neighbors dog does that. I don’t know why either, but I just yell at her and smack her in the nose.

Answer #3

LOL - I have no advice I just found that funny how you put it lol

Answer #4

it is totally normal for dogs to do that my dog does that but instead of peoples crotch`s she sniffs peoples butts.

Answer #5

Well…it’s perfectly “normal” for a dog…they sniff each others crotches…for identification purposes…It’s a bad doggie habit when they do it to people…

Answer #6

Of course it is normal for a dog to do this, it is like shaking someone’s hand for humans.

However, for a dog, they do this to understand:

Your gender Your personal scent You ranking (like in the wild with a pack of dogs)

It is instinct, do not correct it, it is totally normal.
