Those with Male Yorkies-Lifting Leg Question Luigi is still 3 months old and does not lift his leg yet to pee. But I am wondering around what age do male yorkies start lifting their legs? And If I get him neutered earlier (vet said the earliest I can do this is around 4months), does this sometimes prevent them from lifting their leg to pee? And also, for those who paper train their dogs...do you use some sort of "pole" (like a coke bottle or something) so that your yorkie still pees on the pad, but still has something to pee ON when they lift their leg? (any suggestions/ideas for this to make my life easier in the future will be much appreciated). ...just thinking ahead so I can hopefully train properly =) Thanks! |
I would like to know this too. I have read some threads where they used a coke bottle filled with sand and placed it in the middle of the pee pad. |
I forget what age Reece started lifting his leg...hmmm...he is one now and has been lifting quite a while now...maybe around 6 months?? I trained him to go outside only and he NEVER lifts his leg in MY house lol...I think I would flip if he started that...he WILL lift his leg at other peoples houses though...new smells to mark ya know..

I don't have boys, but I wanted to tell you that I've seen these cute plastic fire hydrants online...you can buy them and train your dog to pee near them, and they're washable. Maybe try one of these? I think maybe PetEdge had one? |
I think that sometimes if just depends on the dog. Bailey and Tucker were not neutered until they were about 3 and they have never hiked their leg or humped anything. They just kind of lean into it when they pee. :rolleyes: |

Also, if I resorted to just taking him outside to pee (when he's older), how many times would that be? I know it depends..but approximately how many times do your little guys pee in a day? |
Seymour does BOTH!!! If we are traveling and the only place he has is a PEE PAD, he will squat to Pee. If we are outside, he will lift his leg on every tree, fire hydrant, mailbox post...... Hmmmmmm..... if you are left AND right handed it is called ambidextrous. I wonder what this would be called. :idontknow :D |
I got Kalani neutered when he was 4 months and he had just started lifting his leg to pee and still does. I live in an apt. also so use the pee pads. I make sure the pads are up against either the wall or side of the ex-pen and he will only lift his leg at those areas:) I thought about getting one of those little 'posts' but I know that my rascals would just play with it! |

And i think we can just call it "talented." ;) |
We got Teddy neutered at 4 mos and he squats to pee in the yard but when we are taking a walk he lifts his leg to pee on the trees where other dogs have gone. It is so cute he lifts his leg so high he almost falls over. Oh, he is 3 years old now. |
neither of my males is neutered but Ceeby started lifting about seven months old. One of his babies started lifting about twelve weeks old and the other male I have is seven months old and has only lifted his leg once or twice. i made a "pee pole". i filled a two litter coke bottle with water and wrapped a pee pad around it and sat it on another pad. ceeby uses this when the puppies aren't dragging it around. but he doesn't use it every time. |
When I had a male once, I used a plastic milk bottle filled with rocks. |
Jake is pee pad trained, and sometimes he lifts his leg, other times he doesn't. But, when he's outside, he always lifts his leg. He was pretty young when he started. I think I even remember his breeder saying that he sometimes lifted his leg when she still had him. One time I was giving him a bath, and he lifted his leg and peed.:rolleyes: |
Nico is 5 months now, and I would say he started about 3 weeks ago. Interestingly enough, he only lifts when he's outside and comes across a tree or fire hydrant. But when using the pee pad, he just kinda leans forward but doesnt lift. I'm certainly not mad at that! :p But I'm guessing that he's just getting the hang of lifting, so who knows what's to come in the future! :rolleyes: |
Both my boys are neutered and they both hike their legs. I use a 2 liter bottle filled with water and fasten a potty pad to it with a rubber band around the top. They do very well with it. They also go outside and mark tree's, chairs, flower pots, the pool, etc. I love that they use the "hiking posts" while inside the house. It's been great for me. |
