 This works!
My Schnorkie is the marking master! Especially if there is another dog scent...we have three and even after 6 months of them all living together he still marked over them, he too was fixed and still marking...in fact he marks even when he runs of of urine...he holds up his leg and "pretends"!
HERE"S WHAT YOU DO...
1.kennel when you are not home and this takes up to two weeks
2.leash him to your body so he's with you at all time!
every time he lifts a leg or shows he's about to mark give him a NO... any kind of no you do I make a funny squeak sound to stop my dogs from doing stuff some ppl I know use a hand beeper...it takes effort in training and constant reminding/training but if you stick to it it works! My Scoober doesn't mark anymore...well my uncle came into town and we're watching him like a hawk...he hasn't yet but he just might still new smells of other ppl or dogs are hard to resist...especially in his own home! After the training remember to set your dog up to fail go to a dog boutique where dogs are welcome and watch like a hawk the want to mark will be hard to resist if you can make it through a pet store with your marking male and pass that test..you are cured! The sneaky markers are hard to train but kenneling and watching work for this! Never put a soiled anything in with your dog it teaches them soiled things are okay to have around...immediately clean all marked surfaces to remove scent so marking is stopped often dogs always mark the same spot because they like it and it has their scent already there...but not fresh enough |
