First time for Rex...

[Doreen]

Dh had taken both dogs for their walk this morning and said that Rex lifted his leg to pee for the first time ever. I wonder if he will continue to do this or if this was just a fluke? I am kind of hoping he doesn't keep peeing by lifting his leg. They tend to "mark their territory" that way alot where as he hasn't been marking so far.

newman has started doing it now too. On walks, that's the only way Tie pees

It took Rex 3 years, LOL.

You mean Tie only lifts his leg on walks and doesn't in the yard?

Doreen, Roddy only lifts his leg when we are out on walks or he is off lead in the parks, in the garden he very rarely lifts his leg, he just lowers his tummy abit and pees like that - I was quite surprised - Jakey cocks his leg all the time, everywhere.

Bo doesnt do it yet, but i used to have a beagle that never did. he was fixed at 6 months old and because he had never done it befor that he never felt the need to. while my mom had an american eskimo that got fixed at 1 year and he had already started to lift his leg before that and even after he was fixed he still did it everywhere.

At what age do they start this. I was wondering why my guy hasn't done this yet.
