I have known many dogs and many people with dogs and I'd never heard of belly bands until I joined YT. I'm sorry, this makes no sense to me. It goes against all my experience, and the experiences of many people here. I have absolutely seen Thor go from marking in my apartment to not doing so, and it was part of potty training. Now, I'm not sure I would trust him in someone else's house, but that's still a training issue I think - I can't practice that enough to know one way or the other, and that would be for peeing AND marking.

I would hate to think that someone would get talked out of getting a male dog because they thought they couldn't control indoor marking. Of course you can.

================================

ETA: Yeah, I'm not sure how intact males would act around a female in heat, I could certainly see that prompting marking.
