My friends 10 month old kcc, male (entire) has started peeing up peoples legs when they visit her at home, she has moved there recently i'd say in the last 4 weeks any bearing? Any advice on how she can stop this?? Thanks

Diane

LOL...........
Ours did this, in the ring, to daughter who was showing him! (more than once)
I believe it's not uncommon and it will pass given vigilance............

Its dominance... he is marking that individual as 'his' and no one elses! Its not something that should be joked about as it could indicate that the dog is becoming dominant and thinks he is the leader of the pack. He needs to be corrected and shown who's boss

I would have gone along with that initially gundogal, but our boy is not dominant or trying to be either, in fact we had him castrated as people kept on about this dominance thing, but he is no different and as good as gold really. He does get stressed though and I believe it was just that, he didn't really know how to relax.

my dog wees on people with dogs in the park he doesnt wee on people with out dogs and never me or family and i was wondering how i could get him out of this habit

I would say that he is insecure after the recent move and just wants to make it known that this is his home (and person ;-) ) Once he settles in he will not mark inside the house, so long as he is reminded that it isn't allowed. Don't treat him any differently to how he was treated before the move, but take him out if he looks as though he is about to mark.

One thing I used to great effect (not on my boy, but one of his brothers when he moved home) was to carry a jif lemon, emptied of juice and fill with water. This was carried in the palm of the hand and the dog was squirted every time he was caught marking indoors. He had no idea where the water came from, as the jif lemon is small enough to be hidden, and stopped very quickly.

If my dog lifted his leg on someone in my house he'd get a stern ach to stop him, told in my most unhappy voice what I thought of his behaviour and banished to the back garden (banishment from the group is the ultimate punishment in my house).

Harvey, sorry but your dog weeing on people out walking their dogs is really unacceptable - I'd be fuming. If mine, I'd keep him on a lead to stop this behaviour and if he tried, same thing, told in no uncertain terms no and to leave it (it being the person). Assuming your dog knows what leave it means.

>but one of his brothers when he moved home

I misread that as being one of your brothers when he moved home .... :-o

:)  My pup did this for the first time on the occasion of his CGN test.  He picked my friend, the agility judge, first then two more people.  EEK.  He was 9 and a half months old.  I caught him in time and told no, but I can't help but think his age was a key factor.  He'd been lifting his leg, sometimes, for only a  short time.  How was he to know which vertical objects were peeable and which were not?  I just redirect him same as I did/do when he chews on something inappropriate.  In our case, as it was a dog show, my friend suspected the ground was covered in pee and it was on people's shoes and clothing.  She said it was common for dogs to pee up peoples' legs at such a venue, she thought they just got confused with all the scent around.  Maybe the same if the visitors in your case have dogs?  Or had the misfortune to walk by a recently annointed bush?

As for what I do, yank him away on the leash and watch out for the next time.  He's still young.

He he!  That reminds me about four years ago when I attended a 'loose lead walking course' run by a well known dog trainer who has since appeared on TV as 'Judge Kay' - am saying no more in order to protect the innocent!  Anyway, gobby adolescent entire male GSP was hauled out by said person to do a demo, which went very well.  At the end she stopped to summarise to her class about how the dog walks on a loose lead or else the walk stops;  the dog is allowed to sniff when she says so and is allowed to have a p*ss when she says so!  Cue boyo lifting his leg and saturating her jeans with that oh so innocent 'wot me?' look on his face!  :-(  Well, I fell about laughing (not appreciated!) and so did Helen one of the other trainers - we were both in the doghouse and had to keep a low profile for the rest of the day!  :-D

PS  Just to say that that was the only time he ever marked up a human's leg - never did it before - or since!  Make of that what you will!  :-)

>I misread that as being one of your brothers when he moved home ....

:-D

If one of my brothers decided to, erm, lift his leg in the house I'd have a lot more to say on the matter ;-)

There's a time and a place............. :-)

My Drym peed on my lad while we were out walking about a week ago :| bless my little boy was at first mortified but he realised that it had been an accident as he was standing right by the post Drym was aiming for.
