6 month old male marking EVERWHERE

20 10:52:11

Question
our 6 m/o pug puppy has recently started lifting his leg and marking all over the house.
we had him toilet trained very well. now he pees on the curtains on the couch on just about everything (even the our bed which he sleeps on)...
we are thinking of getting him neutered would this stop his marking or is it to late?

also since finding out i am pregnant our pug has been different towards me he growls n bites me, then will cuddle up to me when my partner yells at him, is this odd behaviour due to me being pregnant do i smell different to him?
also he has a problem listening to us we know he is just stubborn but he will continue his bad behaviour peeing,growling,biting,barking until m partner stands up, then he rolls on his back with his legs in the air. (none of us have ever hit him)
we have so man problems with our gorgous little man, we love him but need to know how to stop the bad behaviour.

thankou.

Answer
Well, to begin with, it is time to get him neutered. That nasty testosterone has started to work. His marking should slow down and stop after he is neutered. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to get him to stop marking.

He may be able to smell a difference in your hormones. I would ask your vet if that may be why he is acting differently towards you. He also is acting like he is the alpha over you. You will have to take a strong upper hand (not literally) with him and show him you are the boss.

Thanks and good luck.
