Dogs Peeing On Wooden Coffee Table

I have 8 dogs and all were abandoned except 3. How do you get males to stop peeing on wooden furniture? I have an antique coffee table I want to use but don't want the dogs to ruin it.

Please help.

I have found this to be a issue with my dog as well. We let him out and he seems to pee on the dining room table leg. I have used a few different chemicals. I will try the dish effect. Of course it could be the other dog around and new atmosphere. We have a chihuahua and a cocker spaniel.

I have a neutered dog that 'marked' in the house, so that isn't the solution.
My solution was buying a 'wrap' that goes around the dog. If they 'mark' in the house, it doesn't get on anything, just have to wash or change the wrap. Dr. Foster & Smith sell the wrap by mail order.

I have a Dachound dog over 6 years old. He insists on peeing on the foot of my bed. its almost a daily occurance. I take him outdoors thoughout the day and just before bedtime, however, he manages to pee at the same place every time. Its driving me ballistic. He has been neutered by the prior owener. Whats the solution to my problem. Please help. I'm ready to give him up. """"

Have a water bottle or squirt gun at the ready! It worked for my first dog, they get the message fast
and I never had to yell. If having 8 dogs works for you then fine. Do not be bothered by posts who tell you to give away your dogs. I think if you can manage 8 and keep them healthy Vet, shots and food then fine. I had a dog eat my antique pine chest and the foot of a wooden bed as son never
told me and hid it. So you gotta keep an eye on them.

A rescuer with 8 dogs is normal. Give some away is assanine. They are not pieces of furniture to despose of. I really hope you don't subject any animals to your stupidity. There's no reason to put furniture in storage. I have a male & he lifted his leg to pee on my computer hutch when I 1st got him. I just said no & tossed him outside. From then on he followed my other dogs outside to do their business. I've never had a problem house training a dog. It just requires intelligence & patience.

Send them outside in a dog run or give some away 'cause eight dogs in the house is too many in the first place.

Put your good furniture in storage or an off limit room until you have no male dogs in the house that like to pee on furniture. Good luck in trying to stop them, cause they have already left their scents all over your home where you can't see or smell it...but they sure can.

Clean the area w/a pet-specific cleaner to retard the scent first. Then put your dogs' food dish where they tend to mark w/urine - they don't like to tinkle where they're going to eat. You may have to move the dishes more than once to cover the different spots.

First of all, are they all neutered? If not, they need to be. It could be a territorial issue and I would talk to your vet about it.
