8 month old Yorkie is marking in the house

[my3kiddos]

Hi Everyone! My first Yorkie Hercules passed back in Oct. He was well trained to go on a piddle pad in a litter box in the house as well as going outside. My new little Yorkie Sawyer is almost 8 months old. We have had great success with him using the litter box and pads as well. Now he has started to lift his leg and mark around the house. He won’t get neutered for 2 more months as we are waiting for more baby teeth to be ready to be pulled. I don’t remember Hercules doing that, but we had 3 young children that played with him. With Sawyer, it is just my husband and I. Any ideas how we stop the marking? When he truly needs to go, he is still making it to the box. It is just spurts here and there. We are spraying Nature’s Miracle everywhere! Thank you!

I would put a belly band on him and every time you see him marking, just say no in a firm tone but not yelling of course. Hopefully he will catch on. With the belly band on he won't be smelling his scent and re marking. Hopefully someone else might have better ideas.
