    Tina, how old is Rocky? Charlie is 3 years old and still squats like a girl but I'm glad as I don't like leg cocking ;D

    Could be a long time :) Took my boy 18 months (though he was desexed at 7 months). He wees like a girl at home (no need to mark what is clearly yours) and like a boy everywhere else.

    Charlie was neutered at about 6 months at the rescue centre, I think I read somewhere that early neutering plays a large part in non leg cocking :-\ x

    My boy is 17 months now and intact - he cocks his leg like a mad dog outside the garden, even when he has no pee left! ;D ;D ;D He doesn't do it when we are doing exciting stuff - like fetch.

    In the garden, his leg cocks are halfhearted and if he really needs a pee, he squats.

    He started around 9 months and was reliably cocking his leg by about a year.

    Mine cocked his leg quite early, about 7/8 months.

    Lilly (my GIRL) squats to pee in the garden, but always squats AND lifts her right leg when she is out and about :D
    She started doing this around 18mths if I recall.

    Benson was a cocker at about 7 months old, and like to cock his leg everywhere...at home it seems more half hearted. Outside our garden he like to cock so high I am surprised he stays standing! :) :)
