| How old was your boy when he was fixed & did it stop him from marking? I have tried everything. I posted about losing my mind. Getting him neutered is my next and last step. He is almost three. How many of ya'lls babies were neutered late and did it help any with the marking?

| If he is three, marking is already a learned behavior. Neutering him won't stop him from marking. However, I would still get him neutered. Have you tried a bellyband in the house? It is a miracle for me! One of my dogs is a twelve year old Cairn-poo.....he has been neutered since puppyhood, and he still marks!! If I didn't use a bellyband on him, I would have strangled him long ago!

| I use the belly bands as a matter of fact I made three more tonight, However he marks with the bellt band on. I have got to where I dont like using them because I have to change them every few mins.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | My female marks. Both my males were neutered at 6 months old. Reese does not mark. Reggie has been marking since before he was neutered. Fortunately no one marks inside my house.

| I got Timmy neutered at 1 1/2 yrs old. The marking stopped immediately after he got neutered and he hasn't marked since. |

| I had mine neutered at 19 weeks. He hadn't started marking before he was fixed, but learned it after. He only marks outside though; & we have to remind him not too in Petsmart. Maybe you could teach him not too in the house, like training a puppy say no & take him outside. In petsmart when I see Logan lift his leg to pee I say uh-uh not inside & he stops. Occasionally I don't catch him in time & i have to clean up a little mess, but he never does it at home.

| It dont matter to him. If you move a shoe one inch from where it was five mins ago he will mark it. And he loves to mark under my bed. If my little girl leaves a toy on the floor it is his to mark. That is the worst thing, try to keep every toy out of the floor at all times with a four year old. I like things to be clean and as germ free as possible and this is just out of control.

| I was wanting to know what age myself. Pepper hasn't started marking yet, but feel it won't be long. The vet wants to wait till he is about six months old. He just turned 5 months old. Guess we will be getting it done pretty soon.

| We have two females now but had a male yorkie years ago. I remember that he was neutered close to 6 months of age, and he never did mark. As a matter of fact he continued to squat like a female and never even lifted his leg. I think he tried once, but then fell over. LOL |
