I found this for ya:

Hi Dr. Cookie,

What do you think of Belly Bands on male dogs. Do they really cure marking? I am getting my male Shih-tzu neutered on Feb 22, and I already bred him once. Now when I go to my friends house he lifts his leg and marks her coffee table. Will this stop if I have him neutered?

Dear Joan,

I am not a big believer in gadgets and gizmos. Common sense is usually the best medicine. Yes, neutering will help, although the fact that he has had sexual experience and surging hormones will influence his thinking beyond neutering. Keep him on a leash when you visit your friends and monitor his every move. Practice sit/stay and down/stay often so that when you make special visits you can expect him to obey you. Order the handouts on Inappropriate elimination in dogs, and Basic Obedience. They will tell you everything you need to know.
