| When Willy was a pup & I could have used them, I hadn't found this site yet & didn't even know they existed. Desiree |

| Nope, I have never used belly bands. Never had to Ted is so happy to go out and potty and has never gotten into marking so we haven't found them to be necessary.

| Our boys love their "pants"....they wear them most of the time...more for our piece of mind- plus it is the only type of "clothing" they will allow without freaking out-

| I voted "no" but not because I am against it......I just never thought about it when we were training Sully. LOL. If I'd thought about it more maybe we would have used them. Hmm. Maybe.

| I voted some do and some don't, only because I have a few males and when a female is in heat then they just seem to go to town on marking. I think it is only because I have more than one male because when I only had one male I didn't have to worry about the marking thing. |

| We bought one, but have probably used it maybe 5 times over the years. We only used it when we were some place we thought Mojo might mark....but there has never been any "pee" in it when he did wear it........I think sometimes, it is a peace of mind thing to save embarrassment of an accident.

| They are really a great little item, and in most cases a learning tool for dogs, My Roger only marked when we would go to other peoples homes that had pets, so to keep him from it, we used the belly bands, he was quick to learn that when he had one on he wouldnt even try to hike his leg, So I think it is a mental thing with them also. as for us.

| I used belly bands for Baxter before he was neutered, because he would lift his leg for little 'squirts' wherever he felt like it. Once he was neutered, the marking stopped immediately. I've never used them since, which is a good thing because at 12 lbs. I'm sure they would leak!

| I voted yes because my 11 year old yorkie has old age incontinence which only happens during the night. If I hadn't found this website I wouldn't have known about them. My yorkie loves wearing them at night and I now have a dry bed as he sleeps with me. |

| I have used them on Gage but now that he's been "fixed", I don't worry about him lifting the leg like he used to. I keep them on hand and will use them when we go to my mother's or up to our deer camp in the fall and winter as a "just in case". |

| We just started using belly bands last week. Reuger is almost house trained, but once in a while he has an accident when my husband or one of the girls are watching him. I don't know if he's marking, but I keep finding small places where he's peed. I'm so tired of finding little yellow spots all over the house so I decided I was going to try the belly bands. So far I'm sold on them. Now I just have to remember to put them on him when he comes back in from outside.
