YT 500 Club Member | Toby's lack of potty sense Opium88's So while they do still use their outdoor kennel when they want, they've just gotten lazy and still choose to go in the house. Toby went for two weeks of inhouse training and they said he did very well there, but he came back and instantly started marking again. And I had steam cleaned and sprayed with all the right stuff to erase the smells . Carpet and walls both. But he just started off like he left. Actually, he got a little worse concerning his excite pee. But now that he's been back a few days that has calmed down a bit. But it's still excessive . I'm thinking I'll just put up a gate at the stairs and get him one of those stupid cloth things that go around his waist. I guess I get distracted too much or he's just gotten too quick cause even when I tether him to me he manages to mark on things without me catching him. And yes he'll hold it in his kennel. Mind you the kennel is attached to their doggie door to go outside, but if he is out of the kennel he won't bother to go outside. I'm pretty sure he just hates me. I'm just being dramatic really on that, but sometimes it feels like that |

| Is he neutered?? My sister in law had a Yorkie mix that was not neutered and he was house trained at her house but as soon as she brought him over to my house for a visit, he would smell my dog and automatically lift his leg to mark. Poor thing it was like the urge was too strong.. My sister in law would scold him and he would just look at her like he knew it was bad but couldn't help it. I think the belly bands (or stupid cloth things) are a good option for you! Best wishes! |

YT 1000 Club Member | My male is not neutered and only marks outside. He attempted to mark a couch once when he was around 20 months, but a quick and loud "No!" and clap had him running to his crate. Neutering may help but it's not a guarantee. The only thing I can advise is to watch him like a hawk and if you can't, crate him or put him in an xpen. |

YT 500 Club Member | Toby was neutered a month ago. It hasn't seemed to help any. He's 8 1/2 months now. So I crate him when we leave, and I bought a gate to keep him off the stairs, where he prefers to do his business most. And at night I tether him to the head of the bed so he can't get down to sneak off and go anywhere. It seems to be helping. I'll have to take a u.v light around to be certain of that cause he's pretty slick. |
