Rena, a belly band is basically a diaper for doggies.
 
Kendra, maybe you should not assume he will stop. Yes one could try a belly 
band when they are inside the house, which in some cases works wonders but in 
some others cases it does NOT curb the marking behaviour and all the belly band 
does is keep the urine off whatever they were trying to mark on, then there is 
the matter of some doggies try to pull off the belly bands so you may still 
have to keep a close eye on them. In cases where the belly band does NOT curb 
the marking behaviour inside the house then that behaviour is being repeated, 
associated and conditioned, and if so it could become very difficult to 
UNassociate or UNlearn, and some doggies have been known to wear belly bands 
for the rest of their life when inside the house.
