un neutered dogs and marking?

Question

if you have a 2 year old dog that hasn't been fixed and all he does is mark - both indoors and out - constantly, will neutering cure him of this?? i would like to adopt the dog but on the home visit - all he did was mark - my trees, my bushes, my patio, a dehumidifier IN the garage, etc. its alot to spend on a dog if there is no real guarantee it will not stop,

thanks in advance for your help

Answer 1

Neutering should eliminate the behavior, but it may not. It depends on how strong a habit this has become. If I adopted him, I'd have him neutered and then work on housebreaking/crate training him like I would any new puppy.

Answer 2

I recently adopted a 2 year old dog and I had him neutered before I even brought him home. The first few weeks I had him he did pee on everything in the back yard. I think my problem is that I have 3 other dogs (2 females/1 male). Even now when one of my dogs pee he goes right behind them and pees in the same spot. I have to say that the marking did get a lot better after a few weeks though.

Do you have other dogs???

Answer 3

am afraid i have to agree with the above post. Neutering will probably not stop the behaviour. All our dogs are neutered and whilst they don't mark our house they have the embarrassing habit of marking other peoples if they visit a house which has other dogs!

Get some suitable disinfectant and be prepared to clean! :)

2 years old maybe too late to stop it simply by neutering. It sounds like a territory reaction rather than because he isn't neutered.
If it was his first visit to your house he would have been trying to ensure any other dogs knew he was there. It is common for rescue dogs to do this especially when they have been in kennels a long time.
if it is a rescue rehoming charity they normally pay for neutering anyway.
Don't let it stop you having the dog - limit his access to your house to the kitchen or garage and take him to the garden on a lead encouraging him to focus on you and not on sniffs and smells (cheese works great)
Fence off one piece of garden for his toileting.
once he is scure in the one room you can slowly invite him in to other places in your house and you shouldn't get any more marking

Answer 5

i think of it is purely ridiculous, and of direction it is not incorrect. supplied canines are under administration, there would desire to be no project. I thoroughly agree that if b*tches are on warmth they shouldn't until eventually asked/mandatory, through fact even a properly-experienced canines would be completely distracted with the aid of that. Lui isn't neutered, yet he's the main chilled and correctly-behaved canines i recognize. i've got in basic terms taken him right into a puppy shop as quickly as and he replaced into proper, purely stood next to me on a similar time as I regarded at collars and shampoos, then have been given dealt with to 3 snacks with the aid of the revenues human beings. i think of human beings anticipate that intact canines are out of control through fact they are in a position to reproduce, yet that's not the case in any respect. Like I pronounced, Lui is undamaged and has in no way been aggressive to human beings or different canines (even nonetheless different canines have long gone for him) and hasn't carried out from now on of the failings that intact canines are "meant" to do. until eventually there's a rule pointing out in any different case (which for my area may be a stupid rule) there is not something incorrect with taking an intact canines to places the place canines can many times pass.

Answer 6

if this was his first time in your house then to me anyway its pretty obvious that he will scent mark everywhere, as he wants to claim this property as his own. he might calm down without even needing neutering, but i would always advocate getting any dog neutered / spayed. last thing we need are more unwanted puppyies roaming around.

Answer 7

it sure will stop...and while hes away getting things done...you must clean the smell in the house if you can....its his natural way to say keep out this place is mine....also for the females to come find him...but without equipment this will all go away peacefully...now if only we could have this done to the pedifiles so the children would be safer...wouldn't you agreee?

Answer 8

there is a spray that you can get at any pet store that you spray around athe house that only the dog can smell. they don't like the spray and will not relieve themsleves there

Answer 9

No

He should have been done before he became adult, even if you have him done now, it will not help
