I'm sorry for the delay. Somehow your email got lost in my inbox.

Yes, it is always helpful to neuter your jack russell, not to mention it helps with potential temperment problems, marking and helping him live longer.

I advocate the use of a crate when you're not going to be home and taking him out every hour or 2.

He may well be "marking" instead of really peeing, and that may require more assertive treatment.  I usually use belly bands which are available at stores like Petsmart. They wrap around the belly and cover the penis, so if he wee-wees in it, he gets himself wet.  It doesn't take long for them to figure out how much they dislike that.

If they are both males, I can almost guarantee he's marking.

If there's anything more I can help with, give me a shout.
