| Marking After reading the previous post, about the unaltered male and breeding him to the neighbor's dog, I've decided to ask a question I've always wanted to know the answer to, but never asked...Is marking, the same as peeing? Buzz is almost 9 months old, and not neutured...It's not that I'm not going to neuter him, but I'm one of those neuter a bit later, rather than early...My plans are the same, as they were for Apple...I'll nueter him at 18 months, unless that last canine toothe doesn't come out, by the time he's 12 months old...Buzz just does one long pee, in our backyard, but when we go for a walk, he wants to pee on every tree, bush, light pole, fire hydrant and on and on and on...Anyway, is there a dif? |

| Marking is a very interesting behavior which very few behavioralists are actually studying. However, Dr. Anneke Lisbergs' dissertation was on scent markings and urine investigation I believe. What they do know, is that dogs communicate to other dogs through their urine; pheromones, sexual orientation, and status. Usually in a wild pack, the more dominant and physically developed dogs do most of the marking, as they pose the biggest threat. Dogs use their urine to mark for many reasons. Once a dog has learned this behavior it is very hard to eradicate it, despite neutering, as this procedure does not affect their urinating. That is why many trainers recommend neutering before this behavior is learned. So,urinating, is essentially what they are doing when they are marking. Males have been found to most often directly mark over other another dogs urine, whereas females have been found to mostly mark within a 4-5 foot range of it. Dogs also urinate when frightened, or when they have not had time to "greet" other dogs properly. This frightened urination gives the other dogs something to focus on besides the stressed dog, in that way the other dogs still acquire all the information that they need, without distressing the dog in question. Well, hope this helps with some added information. Last edited by lil fu fu girl; 05-05-2010 at 05:00 AM. |

| IMO it is more marking indoors than outdoors. I have 2 boys and one is a lifter and the other is not and are both neutered. Neutering is also much less invasive than a spay.

YT 1000 Club Member | Great information! I would like to add that it seems as though the urine of a marking dog is much stronger smelling and concentrated as well. Do you suppose that's from the extra hormones in the urine?
