If you have him fixed early enough he will never mark in the house. Joey "marks" outside when are going for walks, but uses a pee pad in the house, and squats. Unneutered male dogs will do the leg lifting in the house, and many breeders have to use belly bands with a pad. Optimal time to get him neutered is around 6-7 months. Late enough, so that baby teeth can be pulled, while under anesthesia, and yet before testosterone production has started. Testosterone is produced by the testes, and is the major factor in producing marking.
