Default Marking Question

Hi All!

Our new adopted baby is scheduled to go in for his neuter next week. I thought all was fine other than the humping I talked about in my welcome thread lol! Last night my husband caught him marking in our room. So he cleaned it up then decided to see if he had marked anywhere else. He has gone mark happy in our bedroom...7 different places!!! I know that neutering will probably help with this problem but could it have become a habit that we will have to break? If so how do we go about breaking it. He gets plenty of outside time and marks on whatever I will let him mark on.

I find it odd that he only has marked in our room and nowhere else. He is housebroken and usually barks to go out. He is crate trained as well. We do have an x pen that we got from my parents since their Malteses no longer need it. Would it be wise to put him in there so we can keep a better eye on him. I do not like to put him in his crate when we are home because I feel he needs to get his energy out and he loves his playtime.

He is a jumper though and I worry that he will hurt himself trying to jump out.

Suggestions?
