I have a 3 y/o pug that marks all over the house regardless of how much exercise he gets. How do I get him to stop?

He is almost 4 and already neutered. We live in a Colorado apartment, so leaving him outside is impossible.

drag him by his collar to the place where he's pissed....make him smell it.... then hit him on his snout lightly with a rolled up newspaper...and shout "bad dog"

The first thing you have to do is very thoroughly clean everywhere he's ever marked. If you don't get all the smells out, he'll keep on going back to those spots. Neutering him might help, but definitely not with the smell still there. While you're re-training him, he'll have to be crated at night and when you're not home.
When you are home, keep him in the room with you so you can watch him. Then, you do like you would with a young puppy, take him out periodically, go with him, tell him "go pee" and when he does, give him lots and lots of praise, then come back in. Dogs learn really well by positive reinforcement, and if you don't give him the chance to make a mistake, you don't need to correct him.
If you do catch him in the act, very firmly tell him no, "bad dog", take him out and praise him if he finishes outside. You just have to be very consistent, especially given his age and how long he's been doing this.

If he's marking interior the residing house, he's urinating interior the residing house. as much as you will possibly no longer prefer to hearken to it, you need to bypass back to fundamentals and do a refresher direction in residing house preparation. there is not any proper clarification for a canines to do this. placed a abdomen band on him and shop him on a leash once you enable him get right of entry to to different rooms interior the residing house...yet basically the place you may immediately supervise him. definite, neutering might help, yet this could nicely be a count of residing house-preparation. those words are from my pal who has been a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breeder for over 25 years and has 2 intact men residing in her ideal residing house good now. another theory...have you ever had him checked via a vet to ensure he would not have any wellness issues, at the same time with a blader an infection? now and back that may lead them to do this. in case you do no longer understand approximately abdomen bands, they seem to be a fabric band that wraps around the canines's decrease physique like a cumberband, protecting the penis. You insert a sanitary serviette into it so as that if the canines does urinate, it would not get onto your flooring, partitions and furnishings. I regarded them up on the internet and located the area I listed under. i understand no longer something approximately them yet they do clarify the tummy bands nicely and you will see what they appear like. in case you have a stitching device, you need to in all probability make a pair your self.

Try using a wonderful invention called Doggy Don'ts, its cheaper than doggy diapers. Its a peace of soft material that you simply put a clean unused woman's Maxy pad in, then place it round your dogs hind section so it covers only his plumbing. It is held in place by two Velcro strips. A good friend of mine discovered these a while back when her dog started marking certain places in her apartment. The best part is they come in a variety of colors, patterns and sizes, and the only part you trow out is the maxi pad. Believe me, this saved my friend a truck load of money on carpet cleaning.

My dog has accidents in the middle of the night while I'm asleep. If I take his water away after his dinner, then usually he holds it until I take him outside in the morning. He always pees in the same spot in the apartment. I've tried to clean it as much as possible, but I guess it's difficult to remove 100% and dogs' sense of smell is incredible. I would suggest you to take your dog's water away earlier in the day and see if that helps.
