Have you tried crating when you leave? Seems like it would eliminate the need for the belly band. I've never heard of a dog marking in his crate. Peeing, yes, but not marking. Crates are really good. He won't chew your chairs, get into trouble, or hurt himself on accident. You know he is safe, and your floors and walls are safe from him! If you are against crating, than try an exercise pen so he has more room.
