Neutering does not stop a dog from "marking" or lifting his leg in the house. Hefner came to me already neutered and he goes on the wee wee pads "most of the time". Buddha, my daughter's dog was neutered at 7 months and he marks everywhere in the house. We keep bellybands on him.

THere are other options to a full on neuter which include a procedure similar to a vesectomy for men. There is also a procedure that is new I believe where they do injections in the testicles and no surgry is necessary. I am by no means an expert about any of this and, sadly, most vets won't even tell you there are other options because they are most comfortable with a full blown neuter.
