Marking
“ Marking” is urinating in small amounts on the same surfaces or it may be done on multiple surfaces. Usually the dog doing the “marking” will sniff the surface in a set pattern before “marking” it.
Make sure the dog is not dealing with a physical problem by starting with a vet exam. Male dogs “mark” furniture much more frequently than female dogs. You can spay or neuter your dog. Female dogs do sometimes
“ mark” by squatting and male dog by lifting a
leg. Do not punish your dog for “marking” as this
is a natural dog behavior.
