tweetee | 04-03-2016 09:22 AM | HELP PLEASE!! 7 year old male newly marking! I really need help! My 7 year old has recently started marking our sofa and curtains. It all started when I found a lost dog in my front yard. I took the little dog in and kept him overnight (was going to get him scanned for a chip but it was raining so I postponed that for the next day). The next day as I was leaving to get the dog scanned, I found the owner (was a neighbors down the street). Anyhow, after having the lost dog stay over a night, my dog started marking. He is not neutered (please no judging), but he was always the best dog. Never marked, messed in the house and was fully house broken. I've never experienced anything like this. I even have another dog and she sometimes has accidents in the house, but he never even marked over her messes. He is my first dog and I love him so much. He is super obedient and understands no. When I've caught him marking and say a firm No, he immediately stops and rolls over. He then looks so sad and scared. I don't know what to do. I work all day so I cannot be there to catch and stop him each time. Any advice will be much appreciated. I have so much anxiety because of this and need to figure out a solution befor my entire house smells like urine. Thanks in advance. |
