I caught him in the house trying to do it last night to a pillow. Someone told me he is marking his territory.....just curious if anyone else that owns a male has gone through this and what they do to deal....he's getting neutered on the 20th and just wondering if it gets better after that?
I have confined him to the bedroom now and started limiting his access to the living room which he had free run, we tried the kitchen with the gate up, but he jumped over it again....and I don't want to have to stack up two gates until its a last resort....knock on wood, he's done okay in the bedroom...seems a little frightened when I come home....I assume he wonders if I have left him forever...since its a change in his normal routine.
Any feedback? |
First off, I'd put him in a crate while you're not home until the neutering...I've heard that the neutering should go a LONG ways towards stopping this.
