Gonna disagree with that, Sandy, I can happily say just so some don't think we have to accept it. Not all male dogs mark. I've only had one at a time though. My Scotty didn't mark and my Tibbe doesn't mark ever in the house. Scotty was papertrained but Tibbe is completely housebroken. He's never marked in the house n his life, just the very occasional accident when I was still training him and giving him longer times in the house without watching his every move up until age 2 1/2. He marks over the dog next door's scent along the fence outside but once he hit 2 1/2, he stopped urinating at anytime in the house. And Scotty only went on his paper once he was housebroken. They were years and years apart but neither marked/mark. And boy, you can tell if they do pee in your house! I can scent out urine easily - especially on damp days. Yucky smell. No stains and no smells and no wet spots here, thank goodness. My sister's Yorkie didn't mark in her house either. But we take forever before we stop housebreaking. I worked on Scotty almost a year and Tibbe a year before he was allowed the run of the house without me watching him. He's been a little champion about it. I know when he gets old and incontinent, that could change but for now, I'm enjoying it.
