 The marking is one reasons to get them neutered before a year, after that it is really hard if not impossible to stop the marking especially if they are bred. A belly band would most likely, as already suggested would certainly help to save your house.
 
 You can get belly bands at most petstores including Petsmart, many also make them on this site. Do a search for belly bands.
 
 As for "harvesting his seed" it most likely is extremely expensive and only done for dogs of exceptional quality for show quality stock.....

  Thank you so much for the advice.  Is 18 months really to old to teach a very young dog new tricks? 
Also, I'm reading soooooo many horror stories on here that I'm worried.  Why are there so many difficulties training them.  I've grown up with English  Setters, Springer Spaniels, and Cocker Spaniels and they were all trained in less than a year.... I just don't understand. 
THANK YOU!
