When he's out of his x-pen, he should be closely watched and at any signs of needing to pee he should be placed on a pee pad. I'm just concerned he'll pee in his belly band and never really learn about holding his urine. Just because a dog is lifting his leg, it doesn't mean he's marking. A dog can squat and mark. |
Thanks for the feedback. A belly band isn't really an option I'm considering right now. He doesn't have access to the house. He's always supervised or in his xpen. The marking is not necessarily in the house. Just anywhere really, a tree, bush, post, random places around the yard. I just thought it seemed early for him to start that behavior. Wondering if it's normal for it to begin around this age.
We are training him to potty outside and it's going fairly well.
