Does Belly Band/Wrap helps prevent the habit of marking territory?

That's SO funny! We didn't know what to make of it bc he's a TOTAL Mama's boy - so we thought he was maybe trying to show my hubby that he (Marcel) was "The Alpha" or something...? A 2.5 pound alpha at the time....

Smokey marked my hubby's work boots...and they were brand spanking new at the time.....he had just laced them up......i had to spray them down with Lysol.....worked...he didnt do it again....without the belly band that is.....he "marks" them everytime my hubby takes them off when he wears them....lol....and they are the best of buds.....lol

OMg-I am gonna die laughing. We went to my best friend's house and Ace 'marked' in her packed suitcase and then on her chair leg then on HER!!!!!! I thought I was gonna die. He is so tiny and it sure looks funny. Hoping the neuter helps though.

We are having this problem with Brady also. He isn't neutered and he is almost 7 months old. I need to make that appointment.

My boys were both neutered young, but still mark. The belly bands are wonderful!! They haven't taught my boys not to mark, but they sure help the floors, furniture and doorways in my house!

I knew I loved Peppee for more than one reason! Believe it or not...he does not do the marking stuff...knock on wood that Brady doesn't start...We have three males in our household neither Pep or Zeus...If Brady is staying..he & dh are going to have appts made for the big snip snip.

Zoe has turned into my marker...she is a _itch! I just made my bed (we keep three comforter, one set of sheets and two bed pad/protector things...gave them all bathes tonight and came upstairs. Zoe kept barking to get up on the bed..so I toss her over there and what does she do...PEE! I am flying over to rip everything off before it gets to my mattress...all I have to say is she is one lucky lady....

lol....I thought you were talking about my Brady...lol. I was thinking.....yes, he is marking.....lol........He is almost 7 months........

My Brady will be 5 months on the 29th...He pees everywhere...I really haven't done a good job at even trying to potty train him...He is so smart but I have been ill and it seems to be a bit harder with having the three and with the husband and two boys...no one has been about consistancy with the poor little boy...Zoe on the other hand is potty trained and knows better! She is a little diva that forgets who the gueen B is..and is soon going to get knocked out if she keeps this up...just kidding...I am going to just have to order her a cute diaper before every inch of flooring is ruined.

I know that some non-marking boy pups wear the belly bands to prevent accidents in the house, but haven't heard much about girls wearing diapers when not confined (if not fully house trained)... does anyone know if they're used a lot? they're super cute, but I wonder if they bother the girls too much?

my daughter's yorkie wears them 24/7.....she doesnt like them but she was never trained before....so i made her a few diapers....which have been hard to get right...she is very very skinny in the rear....so cute though...we use ultra thin serenity pads in her diapers..they work fine....
