Urine marking is when a dog marks an item or thing with urine, usually in small amounts. Dogs that normally do urine marking are males, though sometimes females may do this as well. Male dogs lift one leg up and urinate in areas that could be in corners of the house.
There are reasons your dog maybe urine marking in your house. These reasons can range from another animal that was present in your house, an unfamiliar surrounding to being territorial. At times the reason maybe physical and a veterinarian might be needed.
There are ways to help solve the problem of urine marking with dogs. One of the main things you can do to help stop your dog from urine marking is to get the dog neutered. Neutering the dog will help to lower some of the male traits that are instilled in the dog. Some of these traits involve territorial actions or wanting a female’s attention.
