Hi everyone:
I have 2 yorkies one 5 y/o male (mugsy) & one 3 y/o female (madison). My male tends to pee on my curtains and on the corner of my bed when we leave the house. We have a pet door so he is able to go outside and relieve himself anytime. When we leave for work they are confined to an area with their crate and use of the pet door, but my male will then lift his leg on the gate or door. I can't figure out why he does this (it started 1 year ago). They are not totally alone during the day either we have an inlaw apartment (with a pet door) and they spend most of the day with my father in law. Can someone offer some time of advice to control this behavior? My husband and my father in law hit him and it absolutey breaks my heart to see this!

I took my dogs to the vet yesterday for their check up and the vet said absolutely no hitting!!! Hopefully they'll get the hint!

Sorry this is so long winded. I really need to solve this issue soon :O) Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
