According to experts, dogs evolved from wolves and inherited the territorial awareness of wolves, so dogs always like to urinate in trees, telephone poles and other places when they go out. This behavior is called "marking."

Dogs rely on these "marks," the smell of urine, to identify themselves or other dogs in their territory. This behavior is especially reflected in male dogs. They will raise their hind legs and make "marks" above the ground in order to bring their scent closer to the noses of other dogs, making it easier to smell their own scent. Let other dogs smell it.

Dogs like to "mark" around tires because the tires can carry the scent to other places through the movement of cars, allowing more dogs to smell their scent, thereby expanding their territory.

For urine, the pH value changes greatly, but remains around 5.4 to 8.4 (the reasons that affect the pH value are related to food).
