For those of you who use the soda bottles with a pad around them, do your yorkies knock them over even if they're filled with water, sand, etc.? I think I will try this or find an indoor fire hydrant ;) |
Mickey will be 6 months this week, and he JUST started lifting his leg outside... on trees and stuff. He still squats on the pee-pad, and I'm HOPING it stays that way. He is getting neutered in 2 weeks I think. |

Paddy didn't lift his leg till around 7 or 8 months. He saw another dog do it at a yorkie meetup and then copied him. It was very amusing. We've transitioned him from papers and outdoors to only outdoors so we don't want him lifting his leg in the house AT ALL. I dunno, I just would rather marking be an outside thing. |
Our Gizmo is 7 1/2 months and he still squats, indoors on his pee pad or even outside. There arent many dogs in our area so i dont think hes picked up the leg lifting thing. He might one day, but id prefer if he suqatted and remained on his pee pad |
I use a cat litter Bucket.They both lift their legs to pee and to mark. |
My boys started lifting between 4-6 months old.My 2 neutered boys never lift inside the house. But my 3 intact boys will. And if 1 of my girls are in heat. Belly band time. I use an empty clorox bottle wrapped with a pad and place that on a pad & they lift there. I love to watch a male pup when he first learns to lift. My Bogie boy used to sometimes fall over when he first started lifting.:lol tears Speaking of lifting, does anyone have females that lift? I have 2 that do. |
Willie started leg lifting around 4 months---Archie much later around 7 months. Willie always lifts outside, but since he is such a "squatty body" (he has very short legs) the lifting doesn't change his basic position. He still squats on pads inside so I've never had an issue of trying any kind of target. He did fall over once, first thing in the morning and he wasn't completely awake. I think he was a bit embarrassed. Archie usually still squats to actually pee even outside and usually only lifts to mark, especially on walks. They were neutered at 7 months. My niece's female Yorkie is a leg lifter too. I've never seen other female dogs do that. Maybe it is another "Yorkie thing". |
I use the wee wee pads.. Around 4 months Benjamin started lifting his leg...on the wee wee pad, (no soda bottle or anything) he is almost 5 months... Sometimes he squats (he does a little jump into position that just cracks me up) Sometimes he lifts his leg... SOMETIMES (and this is the best) when he is lifting one leg he will switch to the other leg in the middle of peeing... good luck with your training! |
Doesn't left leg yet... Hi, Zachary is 14 weeks and he still doesn't lift his leg and my vet told me he couldn't neuter him until he is six months old. |
Harvey Was About 4 Months Old When He Started To Lift His Leg - But If We Are Out Walking And He Cant Find Anything To Wee Against Then He Will Squat..... He Has Never Lifted His Leg In My House Our Anywhere Else. And He Has Not Yet Been Neutered - He Is 15 Months Old. |
CJ started llifting his leg at 10 weeks he doesn't do it every time inside or outside. Oh he is just now 4 months. My female lifts both legs at the same time..... She starts out lifting one and then the other side and the other comes up and she is walking just on her front legs and peeing at the same time, it is funny to watch. :D |
I am so glad to hear that other little boys are hiking their leg's at an early age. This is my first Yorkie and my first small male dog. I have a 9 mo Rhodesian Rhidgeback that hasn't even started hiking his leg yet. Gus is 4 1/2 mos and has been hiking for about 3 weeks now. We are still trying to get the hang of housebreaking, but no real complaints yet. I am so in YORKIE love!!! |
Scampers started lifting his leg at about a year old. I don't know when Brownie started, he was probably young though when he did. And the male maltese I had was over a year old and he never lifted his leg and none of them were neutered. Scampers will go in their potty tent first thing in the morning and he will squat to pee. Then he gets the bellyband and I just give him potty breaks through out the day. He doesn't lift his leg much but the bellyband really helps for when he does. |
Baxter is almost 6 months (boy that went fast) and he just started lifting his leg now - Not necessarily on a tree - he could be in mid squat and he'll lift his leg - I think his back leg is getting wet - and that's why he lifts it. It is so cute though!:cool: |
