I just adopted a sweet 7 year old male Yorkie and I was so happy that he never lifted his leg in my house until now and I am finding signs of his presence! I have had him only a week, but he did so well in the beginning, and actually he would bark when he needed to go out!

I had to leave him and my other little one for 6 hrs. one day and that is when it started. He is nutered for sure. I really scolded him this morning, just as a baby one, but I really don't know how to handle this issue since I am not used to males to begin with!

What is a belly band? I have been reading up on the issue of potting training, which I thought he was trained!

Suggestions please! I have had him through a lot lately, since I had to bring him to the Vet, groomer, and the Vet again to get his teeth cleaned and a couple extractions!
