i've never used the belly band, when reading Housetraining for Dummies or maybe it was another book but one of them on housetraining it said that using a belly band will only teach a dog that it's okay to pee in a diaper and takes away the natural instinct of the animal to not wet itself, it's bed, or be close to it's urine or feces...i think they are like diapers for dogs, they pee themselves which goes against all primal instinct not to pee/poop where you sleep or on yourself.
but lots of people use them and like them for bedtime so feel free to do whatever you choose, i don't want to ever force anyone to do something, just thought i'd offer up some of what i've read about them....
good luck in whatever method you try!!!
if belly bands aren't diapers like the female versions, then forget what i said about the wetting themselves, i researched them more, looks like the hold the dogs potty parts so they can't wet rather than diapering him your dog actually might be marking his territory, that's probably why he pees so much, i forgot all about that possibilitly.
is he neutered?? if not and he's 5 yrs. or 5 months it's possible he is marking
