Pug Forum:
male likes to lift leg

Does anyone have a problem with un-nutered male pugs trying to lift their leg in the house? Mine is almost 8 mo. old now, And I am still working on this. Although it is getting better, but he still does. I have even tried those so-called sprays and neutralizers. Any help please let me know. Or is this normal because he is not fixed. I can not have him fixed because he is for breeding.

I've had two male pugs and I couldn't get them house trained for love or money. They're extremely stubborn. The only solution that worked for me was to take them out every two hours. If you miss a walk, they go in the house. Sorry!

Yes, I have a one year old pug that was doing that all the time. Stuff in the house as well as people! I did have to get him fixed to curb this and what really helped was training...basic obedience every night sort paired with the neutering...but if you can\'t neuter...I would suggest the training for sure...practice EVERY day otherwise they slip back into bad habits...I find that...if I skip the weekend...I have surprises on the leg of my coffee table or something...or someone at the dog park gets it on the legs.
