can they just mark outside? I have a 13 months old and 6 month old yorkie. I started to notice that the 6 month old one marks wherever the older one pees now (who is completely housebroken so it isn't happening in the house). Can dogs just have this marking behavior outside but never bring it inside? Both are neutered but we have had a dominance issue with the younger one from the day we brought him home and he only weighed 1.8 lbs then and knew he was going to be the alpha male. I don't mind this behavior outside I just don't want him doing it inside. |
Yes...or at least that has been my experience here with a poodle I rescued. He will lift his leg outside and marks, inside I have pads and he never marks inside. |
Jackson marks outside but NEVER inside. He was neutered at 6 1/2 months old and is now 8 months old. He first lifted his leg outside at around 5 months old but even before he was neutered, he never did it inside. Also, he doesn't mark his territory in our backyard or anything, he usually only lifts his leg at other parks, etc. |
Some dogs only mark outside, but marking behavior seems to get worse as they reach full sexual maturity (about two years old) so it's hard to say now. Treat any indoor marking as a housebreaking indiscretion and hopefully you won't have a problem. |
Hot Rod was fixed at 6 1/2 mos and he only marks outside. He's 22 mos old. |
thanks everyone, hopefully he'll keep this behavior outside. |
My Chachi is 4 and hes always only marked outside only. He will mark inside a Petco or places like that where he smells strange dogs |
