Drainin' the main vein

When's my 7 month pup going to pee like a man and not a sissy little girl dog?
I show him how to do it in the yard lifting my leg and pissing on everything but he continues to squat. 
Never had a male dog before, so not sure when this change will happen or if it will...

Why does it matter?

[92xj]

It doesn't, just curious.

Some dogs never do.  I have a 9 year old lab that has never one time lifted his leg.

[DoubleJ]

Come to think of it, my 1.5 year old doesn't lift his leg either

[runamuk]

Often its a learned behavior from other males.  I had one male who never lifted his leg in the 12 or 13 yrs he was with us.  I have had two bitches that did lift their legs and they territory marked  I've had more female cats that were sprayers than males as well....

If you really want him to lift his leg on things maybe take him to a public dog park where he can get some pointers from some canine bro's

My beagle didn't lift his leg didn't lift his for years until he spent a few weekends hanging out with my wifes parent's farm dogs.

wtf?
 
seriously?

My lab started peeing like a male dog at about 12 months old if I remember right. 

Probably when they realize its easier to mark stuff if they lift their leg..........

Cool deal, thanks. 


It really doesnt matter to me.  I'm just new to this male dog thing.  I just figured they all switched over at some point.  Didnt realize some never did.  Just educating myself.

It is more of a territorial thing than a masculine habit.  My bulldoggy only does it to mark or when other dogs are around.  Some dogs just dont at all.  Dog park good idea.  Age is also a factor.  Its a little difficult peeing while standing on one leg!  You are talented!

[buglebuster]

my 2 year old lab still squats

[vandeman17]

One of the main reasons I have got female dogs is that I can't stand the males pissing on everything. I would love a male that didn't do that!

Just keep going out in the yard 3 or 4 times a day and showing him what to do.  Probably in a couple weeks he'll figure it out.  I hope you don't live in a cul de sac!

I heard on duck hunting chat that if you hold his equipment for him while he is peeing it will really speed the pups progress to dog-hood.
