Thank you so much for this. I really hope he stops when he's been neutered. Also we have a 7month German shepherd and she hasn't come into season yet so perhaps she is and he's telling her he's fertile? Hubby isn't pleased with the peeing indoors so at least I can explain it may well stop. We are watching Alfie very closely so that he doesn't get the chance to pee.
