My Boston Terrier is almost 5 months old, and squats to pee. When do they start hiking their legs? Does he need a boy dog to show him how?
 
Mine started @ about 6 mos.

Was told by the vet if he did not start lifting his leg before he was neutered, chances are, he never would....don't know how true that is...just thought it was interesting.
 
Depends on the dog. Most will be by 1-2 years old, but some never do and some will earlier. My adult male doesn't hike at all, but my adult female hikes! It's an individual thing. While your dog may start in the next year or two, he also may not.
 
My dog, Andy, didn't lift his leg until he say another boy dog lift his leg when he was on a walk one day, he was 2-years-old.
 
When they learn it from another dog.
Some never do...which is usually my hope with my dogs.
Leg lifting irritates me.
