My dog is neutered so why do they have to pee on another dogs poop? Or pee on where another dog just peed?

Once he's done it, your scolding will have no effect. Unless you catch him actually doing it, getting mad won't help. Yorkies are not the easiest dogs to train. We've had two and both were pretty much the same, and as they get older, it gets worse. We keep Piddle Pads by the door, in case. She goes out a dozen times a day, and forgets what she went out for. All you can do is work with her, and stay patient. Dogs always want to please. Ours seems to be worse when she's been left alone. We really do try to get back and not expect her to hold it all day. Good luck. They are great little dogs. I don't think they know what Time out means. Some people suggest yelling at your dog. We don't do that either. We are firm, but we don't want to shame her. They all learn to do what's right. Yours is still a playful puppy.

when another dog poops or pees it is markig its territory but another dog if it is brave enough can go over to where that dog pooped or peed and poop or pee over it so that the territory now belongs to the dog who last soiled on it. And the process repeats many times.

I think they do it to cover up the scent of the old dog's poop or pee. They want to mark their territory, like wolves do.

Good question with a very simple answer. They are marking over another dog's mark. Territorial behavior and almost all dogs do it and gender does not matter.

they are marking their territory. If the other dog pees they are having like a war over territory....

its all about scenting its like leaving their calling card a dog can tell another dogs age sex and health from smelling it so they cover it to mask and give of their own scent.it a dominance thing too

It's a calling card to let other dogs know that they were there.

Even if they are neutered, they still want to mark their territory.
