sarahjng Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Okay, never never having had a puppy before I have no clue so thought I would ask the experts. When does a puppy (male duh !) go from a squat to a leg clock ? I made a joke in the park yesterday and told bear he would have to learn how, and someone said he was way too young yet, tonight he did it it on the way home, he's eight and a half months but pretty big.

huskylynz Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 My Shadow is 9 months and has only just started cocking his leg. He doesn't do it everytime but most the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahjng Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 So he's basically on schedule, thank you, don't suppose you have any idea how to stop him chewing and licking at armpits do you lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Blaze was 7 months old when he learnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Shadow did it first time at about 9 months old, he doesn't do it all the time TBH he is 3 this year and usually squats lol even if he wants to mark something sometimes he will just stand over what he wants to mark and squat over it instead lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 When the hormones kick in they start to leg cock. Usually somewhere around six months onwards, I think ice was 7/8 months when he started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahjng Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I guess that makes sense Emma, the hormones are definitely kicking in, he started trying to hump the sofa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Ha ha. When ice was just starting to cock his leg I took him out on a flexi lead for a run on the green. He was running around happily and I whistled and called him back. He got very excited, came legging it over and promptly peed up my bare leg! Not a happy mummy!

sarahjng Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I can just imagine ! I daresay bear will grace me with that pleasure at some point, I wonder if they can be trained to do it to mean people ? I would love to see the dog whispered train that trick !

Jay Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 What's weird with mine, is that both of them were neutered at 4 months of age. And Nikko never lifted his leg..ever. He will just stand there and pee. But Yukon started lifting his leg at about 6 months of age, and I'd say he lifts his leg half of the time he goes. Kodiak is a rescue so I have no idea when he was neutered, and he lifts his leg most of the time, but I have seen him squat before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynnmw1208 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Pongo has never raised his leg ever either. He just stands there. We had him neutered at 5 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahjng Posted June 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Bear's not been snipped (yet, but if he keeps trying to hump the sofa........) and now cocks his leg about 90% of the time, which is fine, but he pees so often ! It seems he has to stop at every other tree, even when he's empty he stops and cocks lol FYI still doing the armpit licking ...ewwww Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 guess Jack is a true runt of the litter hes over a year old and still squats Doesn't make a dog the runt of the litter shadow is 3 this year and squats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjwrx Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Panda starting raising his leg around 7 months, never knew he did until i caught him marking my wall. So he got snipped soon after. On a walk its 100% he will lift his leg, and he will mark every few trees/poles/bushes/long grass/ flowers. Backyard its only about 20% of the time.

lynnmw1208 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I think it might have something to do with when you neuter them. I got mine does right at 5 months and Pongo never lifted his leg. Most people in this thread who waited longer than that have dogs that do raise their leg. Interesting concept though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
