Oh don't feel bad, it is frustrating. I dealt with it for 5 yrs and there were days I wanted to cut it off myself HaHa. I was so grateful when I took him to the vet I use now. I was told diff things by diff vets. ( Oh some dogs just do that , it's nothing to worry about) and ( we need to cut the end off it's too long that's why it happened) are you kidding me , cut the tip off I don't think so. Then I took him to the vet I use now, Thank God! I also think the belly band is a good idea

for night time. The funny thing about my dog is that he didn't start that disgusting habit till I had neutered. So I knew the too long theory was BS.If you have any questions you can PM me for my #.
