Also, about what age should I neuter a male to hopefully stop the leg lifting before it starts? |
HI....I do not keep the bands on the 24/7.....In the beginning, They would be penned in the kitchen...I have ceramic tile there...Put baby gates up at each entrance...Had pee pads down for them to use....When I let them out of the kitchen, they had a band on....I would take them back to the pad every hour in case they needed to pee....I have pretty much figured out their bodies...So I kinda know when they need to pee....We have good weeks and bad weeks....But they are only 8-9 months old now....So I do not expect perfection....
I started to let them go with out bands...Thinking they got it down....But I went to clean my formal dining room and discovered they did not have it down......So we wear bands whenever loose now...They let me know when they need to go and I will go to the kitchen and remove bands and they do their thing....
I had them neutered at 6 months...Was going to do it earlier but wanted them to gain a little weight first....They squat-do not hike a leg...Do not know if this is cuz of bands or neuter or what...But works for me...They have never marked...
Our vet recommended neuter at 4 months....But I held off 2 more months...
I hope this helps..We do not know everything...This is a learning process...But am glad to share what works for us....
