 Marking!!!
I have a 4-year-old Bichon that has started marking in the house because of the puppy. I think part of it is because the pup is now 7 months old and started lifting his leg about a month ago - no doubt his testosterone has kicked in!
The Bichon seems to do most of his marking in the bedroom - I have laminate flooring and washable scatter rugs - I can easily clean any spots, but it is still not acceptable - and it does cause me a lot of extra work.
I'm not sure what to do - I am now keeping the bedroom door closed - and whenever he heads for the bedroom, I send him outside (and he's glad to go). And, I am letting him outside about twice as often as I used to.
My pup will be neutered in a few weeks. Any other suggestions?
