Scooter is very territorial and in his mind, everything & everyone is his. I'm sure he will mark the two new puppies that are coming, at least once to "claim" them as his, amongst the rest of the gang. Consider yourself "claimed"
Thank you- I couldn't help but get a laugh out of imagining Scooter peeing on other yorkie's heads!
I did tell him "no" loudly and take him outside. Luckily for us, both times he had just pottied outside previously and there was no pee left in his bladder to actually get on us- but he sure was trying!
LOL- I'm still getting to know about Baci- but he is quite territorial come to think of it- whenever I'm giving Bella attention, he tries to get up in my lap and push her out of the way. Cheeky little guy. I can't believe he thinks I'm "his" and he thinks he should pee on me to make sure everyone else knows it- LOL. When he did it to my friend, I figured he smelled her male dog's scent on her feet or something, but I don't think I would smell like another dog, so he must have just been trying to "claim" me.

I really hope we can nip this behavior in the bud and this won't be ongoing.
