Thank You "megansmomma"...Your advice has been very helpful and I would not get upset...I'm here for all the advice I can get on this new addition.
Lulu was no problem because I got her when she was only a few months but Cooper is 1.5 years old, still young but came with these little bad habits I have never experienced with.

Yes, this is exactly what I do and it's fustrating that he decides that the floor is the place to do it.

The belly bands are a garment that wraps around their midsection which prevents the urine from hitting your furniture and carpet. It does not stop their marking all it does is stop the ability for the pee to hit the spot. It is NOT a cure of marking but a prevention for the messing.

Thank you..I would look into them.

Personally, I give my three all different fresh veggie and fruit it is good for their digestive system and also healthy for them. They will eat bananas (Doodlebugs fav), oranges, grapefruit (Pebbles fav), carrots, green beans, celery (Pebs other fav ) and even different types of melons too. Fresh veggies are great for these little ones. On the other had I wouldn't be flipping them FF or cheesburgers.

Of course there are many products out there for stopping poop eaters that are sold commercially. Pineapple is a cheap home remedy that is proven to help with this issue. IMO the most important thing is to feed a high quality food that is low in GRAINS which also addresses this problem.
*Something also to think about ~was your groomer actually giving or SELLING you this product when he recommended it as a better alternative than pineapple?

I am on my way to buy some pineapple!...do you buy the can? in the frozen bag or a just a pineapple and cut into pieces? How much is to much and do you feed it once a day, twice?
As to the groomer...of course he was selling!
