marking territory inside the house?

Just recently Oswald has cocked his leg to two things in the house a material bag and a pile of clean laundry...why? and how do I stop it?

Thanks

Oh, never had that problem, but then Pixee is a girl, mind you that does not stop her cocking her leg up for wees on walks  . I am sure someone will able to come along and help. Sorry I cant help on that one.

If its just twice I wouldn't be overly worried, just clean it really well so he doesn't think its the place where he can go. He could be at that age where he is just pushing his boundries, back to basics usually works Xx

Thanks Janey will do pushing the boundaries sounds about right he is also "pinching" things from inside to take outside and chew to bits!

  they can be little buggers at times!

Sounds a bit like a teenage phase definitely back to basics will work, Darcy had a phase were she thought it was ok to wee on my sons bedroom rug despite never doing it before biological washing powder to clean so she couldn't smell were she'd been and back to basics stopped it

Douglas did this once or twice when I first got him from the rescue. My strategy was to not acknowledge it at all. No harsh words, no shocked words, absolutely no reaction. Out of sight, I cleaned the area thoroughly and used a neutraliser spray to disassociate the place with the unwanted event. He has never done it since so I would therefore consider this strategy to be a success. Where you say that Oswald is 'marking', I guess you mean that he is peeing only a tiny amount. If it's a lot, it's probably a good idea to consider whether he's just desperate and couldnt hold it in, in which case it's an accident and not his fault at all, or whether he's ill, in which case he couldnt help it. I'm not sure what people mean here when they say 'back to basics'. Can someone explain?

Just a small amount more a spray then off again sort of thing he has free accesses to the back yard at this time of the year, we keep the screen slightly unlatched and he can let himself in and out. It's just so very out of character for him, boundary pushing makes sense though...wonder if I can do this in here kind of thing I guess.
He just knows he is too cute!

Aww Oswald you handsome boy great pic Mel.

Wow hes handsome and does look like a tiger  

Wow, he really is a looker.

Awwww Oswald, sorry this isn't something I have ever had to deal with, thankfully. When you wash the area down try to use a non biological washing detergent to deter him from doing it again.
