When I had Gizmo, he wore a belly band once he started marking, but only as a training tool. I probably had him wear it everyday for a month. If I caught him lifting his leg somewhere he'd get in trouble and I'd take off the belly band and show him the pee and say "no". I would check the belly band about every 2hrs or so and if there was pee on it, I'd show it to him and say "no". It was soiled less and less often as the weeks went by. After about a month, he never marked. He did really good after that.
Epsilon is an amazing little boy and was sooo easy to train. I think he has peed in the house maybe a total of 10 times (from the first day I brought him home). He's seven months old and still hasn't marked (not nurtured yet). I'm very proud of him
