How to change this behavior?

i am training a service dog and he is going to get his CGC monday. i am certain he will pass but i am not able to begin any kind of public access because of sanitary reasons. i don't know why he is doing this but he pees on his front legs. he does it usually 1-3 times per day. he is a program dog and none of the other trainers have seen anything like it. he is a shelter dog (passed all the health checks) and seems to be a sighthound (possibly a saluki) crossed with a flat coated retriever. he has feathering on the back of his front legs so it is difficult to just wipe off. you would have to use shampoo and conditioner to make it possible to comb through it again. the only reason i can think of that this would be happening is that he has longer legs - he is taller than he is long. he is about a year old %26amp; has all of the qualities we are looking for for a seizure response dog (whenever you fall, he automatically licks your face and lays down next to you).



i have talked to several other trainers with our program, two of which have been trainer for more than 25 years. none of them have seen anything like this or have any ideas of how to train him not to do it (besides trim the feathering off of his legs so that it is easier to wash off).



any ideas?????How to change this behavior?
It sounds like this dog should be washed out of the program. Not sure what program you work with, but I am waiting for a service dog and I can tell you right now I would not want a dog that would present with such a problem.



If you've already ruled out medical problems, and the dog is showing no signs of %26quot;figuring it out%26quot; anytime soon, he won't likely be the best service dog candidate, especially if none of the trainers have any insight as to how to correct the problem.
