Question
Just wondering at what age male puppies typically begin lifting their legs, instead of squatting to urinate?
Answer
Hi P.
Thank you for writing to me. A male dog usually starts lifting it's leg as puberty sets in around the age of 9 to 10 months. He begins to want to mark his territory this way. However, many male dogs don't lift their legs until after a year old and some never do it.
Best Regards,
Shelley Davis
