They are not fixed because I had intended on breeding them. I would do the belly band on him, but since he is trained(HA) to go inside on the pads, I do not think that would be effective. I am on the verge of removing the pads, and buying crates. I am renting, but my lease is over in 1 month, so I am considering getting a place with no carpet in hopes that it will help. I love them so much, and I just wish they would act right. I am scared that they will never be trained..........  |
If you are going to keep an unspayed female and an intact male in the same house, you are going to have housebreaking problems. Giorgie's marking will continue to get worse, especially if you use him as a stud.
As I said, this stage they are in now is puppy puberty. That's why the marking and behavior problems have started. If you want great pets, get them both fixed and work really hard on training now, before they become adults. It will be much harder to correct bad behavior then.
