My 5 year old shihtzu was neutered at 9 months. He had already started marking and I have not been able to get him stop since. He has had all kinds of test and been on behavior modification medicine. Nothing. He always has a belly band on and soaks it. I would do anything for him to stop.
I would get him neutered as soon as possible. My vet says this is a learned behavior and hard to modify. Kobe knows he is not allowed, but he is very very sneaky and hard to catch. I have another male shihtzu who marked too. He as 2 1/2 when you was neuterd. He seemed to stop. I guess it depends on the dog, but neutering really does help. |
