Lennys strange toilet habbits

[siohare]

Hi there was wondering if anyone could shed some light on why Lenny when going to the toilet still does not cock his leg and when having a poo squats and walks round the whole garden pooing every were, Could this just be down to him still only being 10 month old and is it some thing he will grow out of any ones help in this matter is much appreciated

Exactly the same as Bodie, and he is just turning 10 months now. Also Bodie will not go anywhere bar his "designated areas" ie, our yard or my mothers. He will hold everything in while we are out walking, ( even off leash) until we get back home!

Yes to the first part, a young dog will not cock his leg for quite a while yet, my Sam is just over a year old, and he is just starting to cock his leg,.....sometimes...lol

As for moving around while pooing,... how does it look, is it soft, or hard?,... they can sometimes do this if consipated, they can also do it if he is very loose and he is a little sore

no matter if its soft or hard he always does the same lol,I thought it was a territory thing but its the same on the park and is a pain to clean up as its spread to all four corners lol

Jet is nearly 2 and still doesn't cock his leg.

Well if he is not consipated,or loose then it might just be his way, some dogs are like this,.. but I dont think you have a problem other than you are going for a futher walk than you planned...lol

Kaiser is coming up to a year old and hasnt cocked is leg once
Troy did when he was about 9 months old(hes 14 months old now)
Troy will do his business anywhere yet Kaiser will save it till he gets home

Someone told me once that if they cock their leg before they get castrated they always will but if the reverse they never will
Dont know how much truth is in that.
Maybe we should have a poll

Apollo is 3 and entire and doesnt cock his leg lol

the only time he does is out on walks when he is leaving his scent..but going in the garden he just kinda stands there lol

Storm exactly the same , squats when he wees and crabs round the garden when he poos he`s 11 months , his stools are normal and I think this is quite common he will grow up soon enough!
