I can also understand marking over the previous dog(s). My original two dogs were 120% trustworthy, but when I moved into this house, where another dog had lived, they peed, pooped and puked in every room of the house. Things eventually went back to normal, but oh, what a crazy ride that was.
Sounds like he doesn't mind the belly bands and they don't irritate him, so that's good. |
No, he didn't start peeing whenever my husband leaves the house. Sorry if I confused you. Toby used to have separation anxiety but that was over two years ago. He does fine now. Today was an awesome day! I don't know when he did it but sometime during the night or early this morning he peed on the pee pad which is inches from the new couch. And he hasn't used the pad after that (I always put a new one down whenever I see he's peed on it as he won't use the pad more than once or twice. We got 12" of snow today so it has been a snuggly lazy day and he has been soooooo snuggly with me all day. Tomorrow will be the real test when I go back to work. I watch these dogs like a hawk and my husband doesn't and I'm the disciplinarian, my husband isn't. Belly bands don't bother him a bit but I only keep one on him when absolutely necessary. I had never heard of belly bands and his foster mom introduced me to them. We don't like to use them unless we absolutely have to. Just don't like to take any chances whenever we aren't at home.
