Getting Dogs to Stop Marking Territory

By

PDG

We had a four year old male that started marking his territory inside. I asked my vet if neutering would help. He said at that age I had a 50/50 chance. Well, the 50/50 chance turned out to be in favor of me. The marking stopped. Plus, there is a very high incident rate of testicular and prostrate cancer in unneutered male dogs as they get older.

I'm not sure if neutering a male dog will stop this habit, but it may help the dog. Also, you can buy doggie bands for an incontinent male dog to use while indoors or to eliminate the markings inside the home. Here's two links that sell them, but once you see how one is made, you might be able to make several belly bands much cheaper for the price of one:

I need help getting my 4 year old and 8 year old pugs to stop marking their territory! We moved into a new house and can't get them to stop.

I need someone to tell me how best to get my son's dog to quit wetting on everything in sight.

What can be done when a dog continues to mark his territory in the house?

My 10 month old male Shi Tzu has started marking territory. He was trained well at 5 months.

I have an 8 month old male German Shorthair puppy. He is a big dog in size yet still has the heart of a puppy. I have never had this problem with a dog before.

Our 4 1/2 month old German Short Haired Pointer/Terrier mix, Elmo, at 4 months, was basically housebroken.

Can someone help? My male Yorkie is marking his territory all over the house. How can I break the habit?

Does anyone know how to stop a male dog from lifting his leg and claiming territory? Any helpful hints will be great.
