diesel is marking

hi, im new to this and the name is vini. my staff, diesel, is marking on stuff we put down on the floor, certain doors and occasionaly, he pees on the corner of the quilt in the bedroom. he is a clever, inteligent dog and we are getting really frustrated about it. he is nearly 3, quiet natured and lives with our 11 year old yorki. they are totaly fine with one another but we cant trust him around the house while our back is turned. we never seem to catch him in the act but we soon find out...

how many time do you take him out?

how long for?

Hiya and welcome. How long have you had him? I have never had a male before so can't really help apart from say back to basic training, outdoors and lots of praise when he goes. Xx

it's all about daily walks 2/3 45mins plus everyday if he still wee in the house he got a huge bladder

2 times for about half hour each

try hour per time

its not like hes peein loads, its literaly a squirt here and there, a mere splash but on bags and certain doors and stuff.

i would take him out longer

ill try the longer walks then see how it goes. im a bit new to this so i hope i get this forum stuff right. cheers, vini.

Make sure whenever he marks that you clean it really thourougly (sp lol) because they have a habit of urinating where there is already a scent.

is he a whole dog if so then if you have him done it will stop and if your not going to stud him its a good idea if he is 3 then he is full grown

really you should take staffy out for atleast 2 hour per walks but hour per walk is fine

Try the longer walks & see if it helps.

Has he always done this, or is it a new thing?

Sorry - welcome to the forum, by the way!

welcome and hope you get it sorted

Hi and welcome from us and Suki. If you have the time the longer walks should help and be sure to clean any area he marks thourougly so there is no scent to encourage him to do it again.
