Getting your dog neutered helps with marking, but if that isn't an option, bellybands are great. Use a sanitary pad inside, and remove the bellyband, occasionally so that the dog can do his regular urination. Remember, marking isn't the same as peeing, and the bellyband isn't meant to hold his pee, but the fluid from marking.
As far as training not to mark, this is largely unsuccessful in unneutered dogs, the tendency to mark is too wired into their brain. Many methods have been attempted, and even some that are extremely aversive, yet all have failed. You can cut down on the tendency by cleaning up marking accidents with a cleaner that has an enzyme remover in it, because as long as the dog can smell this protein, he will mark the object again and again. |
