Leg cocking...

i was just wondering what age males generally start to cock their leg when doing there business. jake has just turned 7 months and is showing no sign of starting. he pees like a girl and crouches as low to the ground as possible lol

i cant remember when my old dog, sam, started it...

Hi Lozzi , on reaching adolescence dogs experience a surge of hormones, this is often the time a dog will start to cock his leg and mark territory (and a bitch comes into season) .

However some dogs never do cock their legs and continue to squat.

a friend of mine has a cocker spaniel x poodle and she said (funnily enough we were talking about it tonight) that he started at about 4 months.

my old lurcher squatted from the day i got him, at 18 months. i guess they are all different!

aw, thats so cute. jake has quite a while to start then lol. i always feel that when he squats, coz its so low, people think he is leaving a little present behind, and that im not picking it up...

Jet was over a year when he started cocking his leg. He always does it now.
