If you follow the Dog Whisperer's philosophy, you need to establish yourself as leader of the pack. Exactly how you do that... well that depends on you and your dogs. Good luck. |
I would say that if you aren't planning on breeding them, which is what it sounds like, then you should have them fixed. It might reduce the marking behavior, but it will certainly make them less frustrated in other areas!
