QuestionMy six year old male has started to mark his territory daily. We have a 1yr old female who is spade. Why is he doing this and he never wants to go outside anymore. He is not fixed. Thanks
AnswerA few things.... get him neutered and start kicking his ass outside; if it is cold where you are, put a coat on him. Go out with him so that you can praise him when he potties outside. Start crating him when you cannot watch him... essentially start housebreaking him again to remind him how he is supposed to behave in the house. Clean up everywhere he has pottied with a good enzyme cleaner to remove any odor.
Get him into obedience classes, and start practicing "Nothing in Life is Free" with both dogs. http://k9deb.com/nilif.htm
With a bit of work on your part, he should come back around. And if the urination continues, you might want to have a urinalysis done to make sure that he does not have a bladder infection.
