| Will he eventually start marking like other males? Bailey was neutered at almost 6 months and he has been lifting his leg to pee on his pad since he was about 4 months or so. I have yet to see him mark when he is outdoors. Is this normal? My bf has two females and when going for walks even they mark, one of them especially likes to do so. Bailey will be a year old in April, what do you all think, will it just be a matter of time? I'd love for him not to mark, even though it is natural to do so He is my first male dog, so I don't know what to expect!

| I don't know. I doubt it. I've always had lil girls, except for some big doggies in my childhood. I will bump this up so some of the mom's of lil boys might see this.

| If Bailey was neutered around 6 months of age, I don't think he'll mark. Males that were neutered later (after their sexual maturity) might still mark. Turbo was neutered at 6 months too & sometimes he lifts his leg & sometimes he doesn't. Sometimes he'll move his butt sideways & miss the pad & he never pees outside when we go for walks lol.

| I think that a lot of marking depends on the alpha nature of the dog, not so much the sex of the dog. Of all my dogs I have 3 markers and 4 that seldom if ever do.

| I'm surprised, I thought all male dogs mark out doors, not that I mind that Bailey doesn't!

| Hot Rod was neutered at 6 1/2 mos and marks constantly-outside. But we have a ton of wildlife--deer, fox, rabbits, squirrels and other dogs. He doesn't mark indoors and squats to pee on his pad but lifts his leg outside.

| Buzz is 8 months old, and not neutered (I'm a late spay/neuter person), and he hikes his little itty bitty leg, when he goes pee pee...I've never had a tiny little male dog, and I think it's so cute (does that make me weird...lol)...He's housebroken, to the outside, although, if he has to go, in the middle of the night, he goes on his pad, and apparently doesn't hike)...Apple, hikes at some places, on a walk (now that makes her weird) but not in our own backyard...She started the hiking, during her first, and only, heat...She's spayed now, but continues to hike at certain spots...I guess she's leaving her "calling card"...the little huz...lol |

| Gatsby is over a year and not fixed (medical problems) and when he is in his "territory" he never ever lifts his leg he pees like a girl but when we get out of the yard he marks everything we walk past even other dogs but he has never ever marked on a person

| Well here is what goes on at my house Doodlebug was neutered at 5 months and was 12 weeks when I brought him home. Within a few weeks of coming home he was lifting that little leg of his and marking everything! He is still a little marking machine and is now almost 2 yrs old. There isn't a bush, fire hydrant, tree......get the idea.........that is safe from this little guy. Bogey was well over a year when he came to me from a shelter. He was not neutered but NEVER lifted a leg to mark. Within a few weeks of being adopted both Dbugs and Bogey were neutered together. He still squats when he pottys. Pebbles (female) will not only mark but she lifts her leg too She was spayed at 5 months old. She didn't start the leg lifting until she saw Dbugs doing it when he was a baby. Now the funny thing about my boys is that Dbugs is my marker but Bogey is my humper! He doesn't hump any of the other dogs or even stuffed animals but he will hump the AIR. You don't even realize what he is doing until he really start to get moving. When I tell him to stop he usually does but I have to say it is pretty funny. This didn't even start until about 6 months after he was neutered so I really don't understand this little guy at all. I guess my point is that you just cannot predict who will mark and who will not. Girls, boys, spayed neutered it is all a mystery to me.

| My male is two and has never marked or lifted his leg. He was neutered at six months. I am thrilled he does not hike his leg. He still squats like a girl to potty, even on walks when he might squat four or five times. He is housebroken to potty outside, and has never used a pad.

Senior Yorkie Talker | Is there anyone out there who knows why 2 males begin marking in the house? They were housebroken!!!! I have to keep them in the kitchen now. The girls have no problem. I am just miserable. Someone said they being competative and with 4 dogs, they are pack oriented. I am just so dazed by it and totally not in control.!!!!!! Jessie |

Senior Yorkie Talker | Why do they do this???Yes, as soon as they were old enough. The first was rocky, he was 2 years when we got Teddybear. I watch them in the yard and it is like one is trying be friendly and play with the other and it is always the same teddybear who is barking and playing in the face of Rocky. Such strange behavior.. I never see them do it, I just know it is them because they do it on the corner of the island in the kitchen or corner of cabinet. |
