In my original post I said he will be neutered SOON. I'm 7 months pregnant and on bedrest for preterm labor so I've got a lot to focus on.

I do have some good news! Today we had some progression! I kept him confined to the living room all day (the living room is quite large) but this way I could keep an eye on him. He played ball with my 6 year old (rolling it to him) this afternoon, played with toys and didn't mark once!

We also had an issue with not being able to take him out in the back yard w/o his leash; he'd dart off to the neighbor's yard. Today I held his favorite treat in my hand and walked outside and he stayed right by me without running off. Then when he did go potty outside I gave him a tiny piece of the treat to reward him.

So halfway through the day and no potty issues and he's made progression on going outside w/o his leash.

ETA: We do use a belly band. We've had issues with him still peeing even though hes wearing the band (YUCK) but no issues today!
