Have you thought about additional training? Maybe get a trainer/behaviorist to help you break his barking at strangers and get him to go potty outside. If he is marking so much, I have to ask if he is neutered? If he is not neutered, he may be too old and may be set in his ways, but I am sure that with extra training you may be able to break him of either pottying on the pads or marking. I couldn't imagine getting rid of my baby after 8 years. Good luck to you.
