dogs, but also sometimes performed by male dogs were neutered. Usually caused
by competition for status, also in an environment in which a house dog and the
dog is still a virgin does not have the clarity of status in the hierarchy of
the human family. It also can trigger by the guests.Once a dog has marked its presence, it is likely he will
return to the same place to clarify its mark.

saying no, and immediately took him out of the house, give praise when he threw
water at the appropriate places. Spend more time to play, member training by
awarding the prize, to teach him some exercise of activities as simple as 'sit'
through routine activities such complex heelwork to music, will help shape its
role in the house that he was under your position and will make him understand
that your home is not a place to mark his territory.

marking of territory. In homes with more than one dog, dog castrate lower level
may be able to solve the problem; However, although the sterilization decrease

way of solving the problem, it's worth trying to carry out a chemical
castration to see whether it would be beneficial.

usually prevent the appearance of this habit. If not, take the time to watch
big enough so your dog to pee straddle.
