Haha! I couldn't imagine 6! I'm going bonkers trying to keep one's feet clean! Haha

As for the uti- thank u! I didn't really think about that, but he is eating and drinking fine, no vomiting, no diarrhea, not drinking excessively, not having accidents, not asking to go out often and not licking his penis. It's not something he does all the time , just occasionally . If he keeps it up, I will def take him in toget looked at. It's just very odd :/ I appreciate the advice. I never even thought about that until u mentioned that

And yea, I'm def not complaining about him not lifting his leg yet. If he did that to my brand new couch, I would not be very happy. Lol

Drinking your own pee is fine. It's sterile to you. They actually tell you, if you're stuck in the desert to drink it.... Anyways.... Wyatt is 6.5 months old and doesn't lift his leg and i was wondering when do they start lift it? If ever...

My Beau was two years old before he lifted his leg and even then he only did it if he was going to pee on something. I think the boxer boys are just late bloomers when it comes to leg lifting I've seen male dogs lick a females urine before but I haven't seen one lick their own. Maybe he had a dirty momma?

Guess I'm lucky-- the one time Opie stepped in his poop, he enthusiastically jumped up on me! Ahhhhhhh! Smudged with dog crap!

Stella steps in her poop every now and then, very annoying. Stellas brother duke which inlaws own, he use to squat and pee. But now he stands almost stack like and pees its pretty funny

Rosco would step in him poop or get extremely close to stepping In it when he was little. I agree with encouraging him to move forward rather than backward after he goes poo. Oh yes, I was worried that Rosco would be a little gay boy forever and never lift his leg bit one day he did it at my nanas house and I was so excited that I think he got excited about it too. Now he's a pee machine. -_- ugh. He was old too bc I remember googling it and everyone said their dog had already started lifting. He was just a late bloomer.

Lucy will step in poo, not as often as she did when she was younger(she's 8 months now) it always seemed like she was tracking poo in the house when she was littler and not just her poop but the other dog's poop as well. as for the leg lifting thing my boy Toby has not started lifting his leg yet and my sister has a 2 year old German Shepard and he still doesn't lift his leg yet it looks like he peeing "like a cow" as she puts it and he also likes to watch himself pee thankfully he doesn't lick or drink it.

Aspen HATES her own poo, as soon as she's done pooping she leaps away from her poo and races out to the end of the leash and trys to stay as far away from it as she possibly can while I pick it up. If she does happen to step in it for whatever reason she whimpers and holds her foot up in the air until I clean her off. What a princess.
