I adopted a puppy mill boy two years ago- a shih poo. He was two at the time. He is a super sweet boy but constantly marks everything in the house. I am guessing that he had to do this in the mill to claim his territory. I have tried taking him out on a regular schedule but haven't found this too successful and am guessing because it is more of a marking issue then a house breaking one. He currently wears belly bands in the house but I'd like to break him of his marking behavior if possible. Positive reinforcement and rewarding outside duty with treats don't seem to have had much of an effect. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank You
