He is home

[puppydog]

Phew, what a busy weekend. He clearly still has testosterone in his system. The little blighter marks everywhere. He spent most of the weekend on a leash with me or in his crate. He lifts his leg the second he is not being watched. I am putting in place measures to stop him though. It is just tough because he is marking and not needing to pee. I take him outside and when he goes he gets a treat and praise, when he pees inside he gets a reprimand and I clap my hands hard. He hates it and ends up shivering and I feel bad!

Anyway, here are some pics.

At the airport. You can see how tiny and quiet is was there.

Pretty boy!

Clearly his first RMB. He was not quite sure.

Oh Hai. Wez be frends? No!

He's hideous and awful... I'll spare you the heartache and let you send him to me.

Seriously, he is a cutie. As for marking, when I was in the states working for a handler she had this one dog that would mark EVERYTHING, I took him outside to the bathing area at a show and he lifted his leg on my me (thank god I was wearing boots!) :rofl1: If you didn't watch him he would try to do it to everyone and everything :yikes: No clue why I thought of that, but hey.

He is so cute!!

Any suggestions on the peeing indoors issue? It is kinda taking away from cuteness

 

[Dizzy]

Erm... other than what you're doing, I have no idea, sorry.

 

[puppydog]

I might just put him in a pillow case and hang him off the back of a door. LOL!

cute dog you got there...but looks like that this is a naughty one..

Sorry about the peeing but he is cute! Maybe get a belly band? Or hopefully it will subside as the testosterone goes down.

Leash him to you and housebreak him. THat is what i would do. Congrats! He is a beauty.

What a handsome boy!! I have hiking issues with my 2 intact boys..but I think I am going to buy a couple belly bands for them. (They can't be neutered for age and health issues).

 

[puppydog]

I tried a belly band. He just pees in it.
I had a long chat to my vet today, he has made some very good suggestions to me.
I am also starting him at obedience classes on Sunday morning. Hopefully that will help my cause.

He is a total sweetie and very well behaved, except for the peeing.

Oh he is a cutie!

I hope your vet got you on the right track for house breaking. I am sure there are some threads floating around here about that too if you haven't already searched and read them

Congrats again! Looks like your girl is perfectly fine with him, LOL

My vet has told me to continue with what I am doing. He explained the psyche behind the whole thing which gave me some hope that we can nip this. Sigh, his saving grace is his cuteness!
