Default Yet another thread about marking

i have been on these forums for a while now and have read a lot of threads about this topic, but have yet to find a solution that works.

Toby is over 2 years old now and he is fully potty trained. He doesn't have any problem at my house, but when he's at my parents house or anyone else's who has a dog, he marks EVERYTHING.

Solutions:

#1. I know what everyone's going to say, neuter him. There are a couple of
reasons why I have chosen not to neuter him.
1. I want to breed him later
2. Neutering doesn't guarantee that he'll stop. From reading the
threads and talking to my vet, it seems like it only works 60% of
the time.

#2. Clean up the mess immediately with Nature's Miracle. Tried it, but he
just finds somewhere else to mark next to it.

#3. Spray bottle - has no effect at all

#4. Belly band - he just rips it off, even with a safety pin.

#5. Anti-depressant meds prescribed by the vet - I haven't tried this one,
but have discussed it with my vet and he doesn't recommend it. He
says it changes their mood. I don't want a groggy, super mellow dog.

That being said, any other suggestions?
