The belly band is literally like a bandaid and will not teach him not to go in the house. Sherri

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. Abbie EddyAnne4 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: 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.
