I love this little dog and it was not until half way through an 11 night stay that i noticed him marking another dogs bed, a table leg, .... i caught him in the act and did scold him and took him outside but i think he might try again. Otherwise, he is a great little dog and i want to keep him in my pack. Any suggestions?
A smart tip is to always have doggie belly bands available for marking pups. While a dog may be totally housetrained in their own home, many times they won't be in your home and marking is very common. Best of luck
As said above, belly bands work great! For little dogs, I make a long shirt out of an old pair of leggings. I cut off a portion that will fit from neck to tail (estimating the girth fit). Then I measure on the dog and cut holes for his arms. When I put it on, I pull it all the way down to cover at least the end of his penis and it works as a belly band. Also, spend a lot of time outside so that there's not much "left in the tank". I have certain (mostly little) dogs that will mark the first day they come to my house and whenever I introduce a new dog.
Please don't scold a dog for "marking" as they are only doing what is natural to them and they won't understand your anger. Wash beds with an urine enzyme odor eliminator and wipe down other areas with straight white vinegar to remove other dog's scents. Well worth the effort for multiple dogs!!
I've had the same problem and it's hit/miss as to who will do it and when. I breeder suggested to me to get boy toddler underpants to use as diapers -- tail can go thru the fly and there's enough room for a disposable pad. I've only used once since suggested and it worked well. Belly bands are better, but expensive. Usually if you catch them and scold/punish somehow, they're done. I've had it at meet/greets (parents are notified, because they're dog doesn't do things like that! haha) and then it's done. But others repeat. I have tried wiping the wall, chair leg etc. (anything NOT fabric) with bleach and that seems to help remove the smell for the next guy. On fabric, pure white vinegar (right from the bottle -- will not fade fabrics) helps. But it's an uphill battle. Downside of this business we've elected!! Good luck!
Im dealing with this now and am having so much stress because of it. Any suggestions please let me know.
