I think everyone's urethra is slightly different - or more so the skin around it and so changes the direction that the spray comes out from ikywim. I have had little girls at work who manage to do a spout like a boy right over the edge of the loo! But they all seem to get the hang of it eventually and push the wee out a little slower I suppose.
My DD is the same, we started TT'in on New Years day and she has picked it up really fast but she has the same issue.
We have had time when we have been out and she has had to use the potty we have in the back of that station wagon and to stop her from weeing straight forward all over the floor of the car, I now put a old style cloth nappy over her to catch the spray and then when she is done I bundle it into a plastic bag to bring home and put in the wash.
When she uses the toielt at home though we do get her to sit back as far as possible. I'm hoping that as she learns that she doesn't have to hold on so much that she will go more regularly and then avoid the excessive wees we are getting now.
Ask your friends about when they wee!! I had this conversation with a group of girls after seeing that show... mmm, the one where they took hmmhmmm... ahhh, scrubbers? and turned them in to ladies. Aaahhh ladette to lady??? There was a girl on it who, instead of squatting, stood on her knees to do a wee on the road - it shot out in front of her!! I'd never seen such a thing! But after a (rather boozy) dinner with girlfriends, it seems it's not terribly uncommon. Must be the direction of the urethra, as a PP said. I'd encourage your DD to lean forward when weeing on the loo, it will direct the urethra back a bit and I don't reckon it would interfere with emptying her bladder.
