Drainin' the main vein

[DoubleJ]

This thread reminds me of a conversation I had with the Air Force SP K-9's in my military days.  They said as a form of hazing, they told the new guys on their first or second day that since they were new, they were on aggression suppression duty.  Aggression suppression required the new K-9 officer to take the male dogs into a back room and give them a "manual release".  They always let the new officer get REALLY close to starting before they stopped them.  Sounded like a hilarious initiation.

  You guys crack me up

I show him how to do it in the yard lifting my leg and pissing on everything but he continues to squat. 

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.

So, that worked good for your dog and the others in the neighborhood?  How much do you charge to train dogs to do this?

I wish they all squated,way better than having tents,tires,coolers and your buddies legs marked,,,,well the buddy thing is kinda funny

rasbo, that happens!  Our pastor stopped by one time and while he was standing there talking to my wife and I our little peekapoo walked over, lifted his leg, and peed on his shoe.  I was trying not to look, hoping the pastor wouldn't notice.  It didn't work, he looked down and said, "I guess he doesn't like my sermons".  What do you say?  We're sorry just doesn't seem to work.  Later of course, after I quit rolling on the ground laughing, I told the dog don't do that any more.

This could be serious. Some questions:
1. Does he take the bow out of your Yorky's hair and wear it himself?
2. Do you ever hear "YMCA" playing late at night after everyone's gone to bed?
3. Does he prefer beer or reisling?
4. When you tell him to shake, does his wrist seem extra floppy?

You may need to send him to Butch Dog School. There's one near Cle Elum called Bitches to Butches. These dogs can be fixed to turn normal!

  sometimes it takes awhile but I am sure once he runs into a young lady he will get it right

On a slightly more serious note, I'm not familiar with the inner workings of hunting working dogs but I would think some socialization may be in order. Sometimes dogs need to learn to be dogs.

Be thankful. You won't have to clean off your rims and tires all the time. My buddies lab will pee on any strangers leg if the person is in his yard.

Our Britt has lifted his leg to pee once (that we have witnessed) in his 2.5 years of life. I believe that it truly is a socially learned behavior. He isn't around another male dog that lifts, so he doesn't do it. It is nice to have a dog that doesn't spray everything is site. I have heard that it may have something to do with being fixed at an early age, not sure how true that is.

My wife runs a dog boarding facility.  I'd say its about 50/50% regarding those that lift vs. squatting.  Nothing to worry about.

My 2yr old Springer always squats.

[Knocker of rocks]

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...

wtf?
 
seriously?

They have pills now-a-days to help you with your lack of a sence of humor
