I had good luck with my border collie, who was neutered late, by keeping a 
leash on him and anytime I saw him starting to side up to something, I gave a 
jerk and said no. I didn't know about belly bands 10 years ago when I got him. 
Sometimes you might need a combo of the belly band AND the training. Hopefully 
one, the other or both will help. If you haven't already had him neutered, I 
would get that done asap, as that sometimes helps as well.

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.
