But my teenaged boys are quite nasty if I might say and will let them go to the bathroom wherever, and then NOT clean it up unless I tell them to. We will see what happens. maybe this is a wake up call to them. I will get Tobey fixed to see if that helps. He is more the culprit than her cuz he actually gets his pee soaked into my couches! If I decide to do this, they will not go to just anybody and I must be able to watch them grow. I love my babies and I can't wait to get off this computer to go to bed and snuggle for the night!

Part of what Tobey is doing is marking and this is different than peeing. Unneutered male dogs are notorious for marking and their urine has a much stronger smell than neutered dogs. Neutered male dogs usually don't mark in the house either. I'm wondering if a belly band might help with this too, until he can be fixed. If you haven't completely made up your mind on all of this, I think she should read up a little on marking and see what you can do to cut this down. Also, since your boys know you are serious, maybe you could work out a probation period with them, and see what they are willing to do to help you solve this problem. Kids can often surprise you and can really step up to the plate, if they feel like they are needed.
