re: Advice requested- dog (Bassett hound mix) won’t stop shitting and pissing on porch

I have a Bassett/Pointer mix that’s sweet as can be, but dumb as rocks. We rescued her from a place that had all male Bassett's so she copied them and lifts her leg to piss like a male dog.

We don’t have the same issue as you, but just felt like sharing my retard bassett story.

ETA - We also tried to teach her how to shake, but she didn’t fully grasp the concept. Now you’ll be sitting across the room from her and she’ll catch your eye and lift her front paw up to shake, as if you’ll somehow be able to reach her from 15 feet away.
