Frump is "overmarking" every important Obama initiative: Dogs cover others' scents.

It's nothing short of what dogs do to cover the scents of other dogs: They pee where the last one peed. It's called "overmarking."



Basically, they're trying to tell all other dogs that "this is my turf, not his." And that explains the only frump policies: Just undo anything Obama did, regardless of the impact. Overmarking, plain and simple.

Your dog pees on pee to show other dogs who's boss. If you take your dog to the park only to find him chasing after other dogs and urinating where another dog urinated, otherwise known as “over-marking,” you may wonder what's going on. Believe it or not, what you’re witnessing is a highly effective form of dog communication.

When your pup urinates on another dog’s puddle, he is, in a sense, “canceling out” that dog’s mark on what he perceives to be his territory. Your dog may do this to strange dogs he meets in public, to neighbor dogs or even other dogs in his household as a way to establish territory and assert dominance. Your dog considers the act a form of branding meant to say to other dogs, “Stay out. This is my turf.”
