He makes outside and he squats, has never lifted his leg in the house, however, on the rare occasions that I walk him around the community he hikes his leg to pee, because, he smells other dogs. If this guy is a leg lifter and continues after the neuter your boys may "follow the leader". |
Just my opinion, but having had only males, and a multiple dog household, when we had a "visitor" dog who came for a play date, and marked in our den, my boys needed some retraining. After a thorough cleaning, and watching/correcting them we solved the problem, but it did have a domino effect.
Beau, our white poodle, came to us at 8 months old. We neutered him within a week, but he still hikes...Ty and Gus squat on pee pads at 2.5 yrs. old.
