    Dogs mark for a number of very different reasons. He may be telling other dogs that he is there and that the house is his, or he might be saying "ooh that makes you take notice of me".  He may not even be marking his territory but increasing his sense of security.  It is important you try and work out why he is doing this or you could make matters worse. To get help with this ask your vet to refer you to a qualified dog behaviourist who may be able to help.

    Best wishes

    Good Dog? Bad Dog?
    Good Dog? Bad Dog? By Rosie Barclay. This book concentrates on changing the traditional views of how we perceive and treat our dogs using what we have learned from scientific research so far. It starts at the beginning by looking at ways of how to chose and bring up a new puppy that may reduce the likelihood of future problems. It then goes on to cover different problems that commonly occur between owners and their maturing or adult dogs by discussing real case studies. TO BUY VISIT www.rosiebarclay.com
