This is the one thing that has always put me off having a male dog! Seeing as i will be having one shortly - please tell me the leg cocking isnt something that is going to happen all the time? Bearing in mind i intend on leaving his bits and bobs where they are!


REUBY DOOO!

Dont panic  :D My 2 boys would never do it in my house but thats not to say I could guarnatee they'd not do it in someone elses although they havent as yet. People are mortified when they come back from holiday and I tell them their dogs have been doing this. Maybe Labs are slow to mature but 8 months old and acting like a top stud dog I find  :o :005: Otter is still playing with his toys  :005:

Im gonna keep an eye out for him today just incase  >:(

Wilf has never done this in the house ever, plus I can take him to other people's houses and on trains etc. and he's never had the urge to do it in those places either thank goodness, but most of the male entire foster dogs do

it's happened to us once... the household's neutered boy stood before Jarv and cocked his leg on the sofa corner, and Jarv marked over his wee  ph34r 

that's the danger I think - if you don't neutralise every wee spot, others will pick up on it and mark over it (like at PAH  :rofl1: )

I've had two boy cockers (scuse pun :005:) and neither of them have cocked inside so hopefully you'll be lucky!

Cazzie, sorry I can't help as have never had this problem... I'd just make him stay outside I think  :lol2:

Good luck

The first had the snip at about 11 months but never cocked in the house before or after... Dave is now 14 months and entire (currently) and hasn't cocked in the house at all... hope that helps!

I honestly don't hear about it being a big problem amongst other dog owners although maybe they all keep quiet about it  :005: :005: Boy dogs are lovely though and in my experience no more horrible/minging than girlie dogs  :lol2:

Thanks Hannah, my first male dog did cock his leg on anything he could - but didnt come house trained, then i had my wonderful cocker Rosie, who was a super-star. I really think i compare the two when thinking about boys v's girls, which is probably unfair of me. But im happy im getting a  'dude', but il be sad if i had to have him castrated as i really really dont want to ruin his coat. Suppose its a chance we all have to take male or female!

My 8 month old cocker doesn't cock at all at the moment and I hope he never does - much easier to keep him clean  ;)

Harvey has never cocked his leg at home, but when I have taken him to PAH and out local garden center (they have an inside dog section) he always cocks his leg ph34r
Woo woo Mr Harv, woo woo, he's my best mate.
