Marley & Lumikkis Mummy Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Im pretty sure this is scent marking and not just weeing as he knows to wee outside and he poos out there too but Bear keeps cocking his leg and letting out bits of wee everywhere. I have a bottle of watered down Jeyes Fluid to squirt the areas he has done it but that doesnt seem to be stopping him. I know he is trying to get his scent around the place but he cant go round piddling on everything. How can I stop him doing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

persephona Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Very good cleaning, for one thing. Secondly, crate training and keeping him with you at all times for a while. Treat it as if it were simply potty training, if he doesn't get to mark everything around him, he won't get used to it and will probably stop it at some point. Try not to give him a lot of water when you can't supervise him and obviously, tell him no when you catch him in the act. But yeah, with scent marking cleaning is especially important.

ahursty Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Rico hasn't started to scent mark at home but I'm thinking maybe Bear is just trying to do it so he becomes the boss of him and Marley.. :-) X Angie & Rico X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindog Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 It's a man thing He is basically doing the canine equivalent of teenage "tagging" - this area is mine!!! Dogs do tend to grow out of it - ours only do it if another male has been in the house. A friend brought her entire male round to visit the other week and he marked the corner of the sofa. By the end of the day, all of our males (who hadn't marked inside the house for years) had "covered" the original dog's mark and would have continued to do so until we gave it a thorough clean to completely remove the scent. Neutering can also help, but it isn't a guarantee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Darwin is 2 1/2 years old we've had him since he was 12 months. He is neutered. He 'tags' outside but not indoors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
