The first is referred to in QuickSilver's post above. If the male is lifting his leg to pee it may be more difficult to have them in-door only and exclusively pad trained because they can spray everywhere. Some people get those little hydrants to give them something to aim at. For Remy, I used to use people incontinence pads (the big ones) and I folded the pad up the wall so he could lift his leg and not cause a mess. Now he goes 100% outside so his technique no longer puts my walls at risk

Second is marking potential
GOT IT! I guess I never thought of it that way since Kaji made things so easy for me. He tried marking but I got that quickly under control and it's not an issue anymore. He still does the excited pee when I come home, but I use Nancy's "ignore him" technique combined with taking him to his pad as soon as I get home so he get's my attention after he goes on the pad. It works great so far! I miss him being 100% outside potty trained.
