Need advice about dogs marking
I am wondering if there is a repellent for dogs that are marking? Or training technique. Both dogs (boston Terriers) have recently moved into a new home. Before this they never marked in the house. Has any one heard of a repellent that would work ? I

I think I didn't make myself clear LOL (so unlike me ) here goes A friend asked me if I knew of a repellent for dogs that were marking. They have not always done this and have recently moved into a new home ( same family... different house )
They have never marked before this. They are very well loved and their Mommy needs some help to find a solution to this problem. |

Probably they're smelling where other dogs have urinated in the house in the past. Your friend's first step should be to find an enzymatic cleaner made to totally eliminate the odor of urine and use that everywhere her dogs are marking. once the odors are gone and they're more used to their new house, the marking will stop.

You may also want to try belly bands on them as most males are reluctant to even try to mark while wearing them. This could help re-establish their former (non-marking) behaviour after some time wearing them when they are in the house.

Belly bands are great if they work the first time, because usually dogs don't like to feel wet down there - if your male still pee's while wearing them though, you'll want to take them off and try something else - otherwise they get 'used' to feeling their pee against them, and that can lead to other issues.
