I agree that if you aren't going to breed him, I'd get him neutered. You are going to have a tough time training him without neutering. But with that being said, I do have an unneutered male myself that does not mark in the house. It took a lot of patience but it can be done - at least for some. And I don't use a belly band as I am planning to show him so I'm growing his coat out and a belly band would ruin his coat. The way I did it was to constantly praise and treat him and say good boy for marking OUTSIDE and I stressed the outside. Then if I caught him marking inside I would say no, no Mickey that's marking INSIDE and then I'd take him outside and encourage him to mark OUTSIDE and if he did, I'd treat him and give lots and lots of praise. But I would think that it will make your life a whole lot easier if he's neutered. |
