hello.
i have a question about dogs, and their peeing habits. namely, do dogs mark territory individually, or by-the-pack?
so there’s no confusion, I’m not asking if wild dogs all pee on the same tree at once.
but if beta male pees on a tree, does the rest of the pack smell it and go “Oh sweet- another tree claimed by Packalicious!”? that would be marking by the pack.
on the other hand is individual marking. in which any dog would re-cover the piss spot to claim it as their own. or perhaps only higher-ranking members (a la pecking order).
so which is it?
thanks,
jb
