Doesn't lift enough

I tend to think it's not a hip problem because he runs, jumps, climbs, really gets his leg up when he's "grooming". Now that I think of it, I don't think he's ever seen another male dog do his business. Maybe if he sees another dog he might see how it's really done. Thanks for your comments.

You might be right!  Our boxer, Duke, hiked his leg on every plant/bush/tree in our back yard when we first got him, and I shooed him away whenever he did it (he was killing the plants, which are very young).  The poor guy was so confused, but he soon learned to squat like our lab does.  Luckily, he doesn't go on his own feet.  He'll still lift his leg out on a walk when we pass a tree.  He's learned that's ok.
