do intacked males always lift?

[lute]

can you totally housetrain an intacked male? or will they lift their leg unless neutered? i've always had neutered males so i don't know.

Jamie lifts her leg sometimes... so I don't think it's just a male thing, hehe. Charlie is neutered and squats though, SOMETIMES he lifts his leg if he is next to a bush or sometihng though. I think intact or not, any dog can be fully housetrained.

Muskwa was intact until a year ago. He was neutered just before his 8th birthday. He was fully housetrained just like any other puppy. He lifts his leg outside, but never in the house.

Oscar (moms shih tzu) always lifted his leg when he was intact and after he was neutered.. my Tikeya always lifts her leg, shes dominant thats why.

Uno doesn't lift his leg and he's not neutered (He tried to lift his leg once and fell over because he only has one eye so his balance isn't that great.) But that really has nothing to do with housetraining since he is an outside dog.

Tiny and Nitis were not neutered when they were housebroken and they were fully housebroken with no problems.

Malakai is intact, and lifts his leg...but never in the house.

Neutered or intact doesn't determine if a male will lift their leg. I know quite a few males who just don't - I think it's due to laziness, honestly. LOL

Jess - I saw Molly lift her leg the other.. and I was like.. "YOU WEIRD LITTLE DOG!! "

BC_MoM-When Lacy has to pee she waddles around the yard like she wants to cover all the grass with it. She won't stay in one place. Now THAT'S a weird little dog! lol

During a walk with Kia recently she lifted her leg and peed on a flower pot.

She's begun to mark more as she gets older. But always outside. Never in the house.

Jasper and Wilbur are both intact, and they both lift their legs indoors sometimes. Just depends on the animal. The dog I had growing up was intact for a good portion of his life and he didn't lift it indoors.

Bailey is almost 11 months old and doesn't lift his leg. I have read that you should neuter your dog one month after they first start lifting, so that's what I plan on doing.

Tommy never lifted his leg until he was 3, and still doesn't always. Would have been quite a long wait on neutering . I really don't think left lifting is a gauge on maturity, it's such an individual thing.

Cracker has never lifted his leg, he's 3-1/2. Waiting to neuter until they lift their leg has nothing to do with maturity or age or suitability to neuter. Not sure where you heard that but it's false. If I had waited to neuter Cracker until he lifted his leg he'd still have a pair. Many male dogs learn to lift by seeing other dogs and there are some male dogs who NEVER lift their legs to pee.
