How many of you keep Belly Bands on your boys all day long? Do you take them off at night time?

Kibble keeps his dry but Rocky wets in his. I take them out almost every hour, but Rocky still wets in his wee wee wrap.

Apollo never pottied or marked, he only goes outside or his pad !

Yorkie3 · 04-28-2008, 07:32 AM

Joey wears his while he is in the house. If he is outside of course we take it off. If he's in his crate while we are gone, I take it off. At night he wears it because he sleeps with us.

My boys giggle at boys who wear diapers.

I'm kidding...mine have never worn them. No issues.

Lucky you! I think Kibble will be easier to break then Rocky, he just wants to lift his leg everywhere, the lil stinker!

Hot Rod doesn't wear them, never had an issue, fortunately.

Mybabyboymax · 04-28-2008, 08:24 AM

Max has never worn one, he doesnt mark (hes a yr and 5 months) lets hope it stays that way LOL

I have heard that males that are used for breeding have a tendacy to mark, dont know how true it is though I could be wrong.

Tiggerwit · 04-28-2008, 08:29 AM

I voted for only during the day but truth is Alphy wears them while I'm at work and then at night. For whatever reason he always seems to pp in the middle of the night because he's always soaked in the morning. When I'm home he's not in one because I have the ability to take him out when necessary.

Murphy is in kitchen and uses the pp pads during the day and then at night he's crated. I don't use bands on him (yet).

If anyone starts cocking their leg on my furniture...there were be one less giggling boy at my house.

Reese is a year and half....and still doesn't mark. He goes outside...potties and he's done. No little tinkling everywhere....now his sister does.

What is the point in belly bands??? I read they were good for marking territory?? Riley doesn't actually mark. He just lifts his leg and acts like hes going to. HAHA!! Always on daddy's foot too. Its so funny.

I would think the point would be....saving your furniture.

also if you take your doggie with you to someones house and they have another dog, the belly band would come in handy.

Since Rocky had bred before, I think that's why he is marking and now that I have Kibble, he is telling Kibble, this is my spots, stay away! lol

Kibble does pretty good, he has only had a few accidents.

Agree on all accounts. I will say mine have never peed in anyone else's house. I would imagine it would be a difficult task...to stop one from marking when another has.

SladesMommy · 04-28-2008, 12:30 PM

I voted that I don't use them, but occassionally I do.

He is crated while I'm away and at night. The only time I use them is if he's out loose in the house and I know he'll be out for awhile and I won't be paying super close attention to him, since he has the habit of occassionally peeing in the floor if I'm not watching. I'd say I use them less than once a week... typically at night when he's out and I'm doing homework or something.
