Why does my male dog squat to pee and struggle with housebreaking?

Question

My German Shepherd pup is now almost a year old but he doesn't lift his leg to peer. He still squats like a kiddo. And he has not learned to housebreaking how much i may try.

Some dogs don't lift their leg to pee, and that's normal. You can get him checked out to see if there is a problem with his hips preventing him from lifting his leg, however, if you are concerned. I'm not sure what you have tried in terms of housebreaking him, so I would speak to the vet about the methods you have tried to housebreaking, and the vet can suggest methods you have not yet tried.
