Do you think that it is better to physically separate them? My guy is house trained with a doggie door, but when the girls are in heat he starts marking EVERYTHING. So he would have to be in a belly band anyway. Anyone else have this problem?

I have 2 males and 1 (Galahad) marks like crazy like 18 times in 15 minutes in Feb right before Sage came into heat. Mine never go out to potty except on walks or nice days when they go out on their harnesses. I put mine in our living room in a playpen with puppy pads and U should see the marking they do on them, I change them 3 times a day. They also wear belly bands when they roam the living room, we have gates up at 2 doors and 2 doors to close between the rooms. I don't dare trust Galahad after marking that much in that little time, he was gonna make sure Teddy knew and knows Sage is his, lol and she is his just not till next Spring.
