| Do they stop "marking" the older they get? My boys are neutered, but they both hike their legs. They mark all over the back yard and I suspect they mark in the house sometimes. I use potty pads with hiking posts for inside but I will occasionally find spots on doorjam's, etc. I have dark wood floors so its not always easy to find their little accidents. I was wondering. Does the marking decrease as they get older. Mine are 2 and 3?

| I figured it might just be wishful thinking to think that it stops. They use bellybands when we go to someone else's house. Luckily, its only the occasional accident, but in my opinion...when it comes to marking in the house... occasional is too much!!!

| I have only one so there is no need to mark indoors. Buddy's marks outdoors but that's normal for a male. He has never marked indoors in anyone's home however, my daughter's pug makes when he comes here! |
