I have a neutered male Australian Shepherd (named Twister) who NEVER marks in
our home. But, he does mark outside and in places like Petsmart where he
smells other dog's urine. I brought him to my mom's house. She has a neutered
male dog. They get along fine but I did catch Twister marking in my mom's
house. I am not sure if it was because he smelled where my mom's dog peed or
just because they were two males in the same home. Twister doesn't mark in my
home but he is the only male. I have 2 females and him. I think it depends on
the dog and the habits he has learned in the past. Since he did try to mark in
Diane's house, he may try to mark at your daughter's, too. It's hard to break
them of this habit once it's learned but not impossible. Maybe she could try a
belly band on him if he starts marking??

My daughter dearly wants this little guy.....but.....she is living
with
my other daughter (short term*) who has a 2 yr old male shitzu. If we
bring him into the family will the 2 of them start marking because of
the male territory instinct? Does anyone know? Does anyone in the group
have 2 male dogs living inside the same house? My daughters shitzu is
housebroken except once in a while he poo poo's in the house. We r just
concerned that having another male dog in the house could start a
problem. I it did start them both marking is there anything we could do
to stop or prevent it? Her shitzu is fixed, would that make a
difference? Spanky is fixed, right? If u could get him to Marsha in KY,
and if I can make arrangements with Marsha to get him from her, this
might work. I live in the NE corner of TN about 200 miles from Marsha. I
could pay for gas for you and Marsha and the 15.00 fee. How much was the
vets bill? I would pay that too, if it wasn't a whole lot....LOL. I'm
not rich, but she really wants him so much. She has wanted a chi that
looks just like him forever!!!!!!! I really appreciate u getting him out
of harms way. TY!!!!!!!! U'r a sweetie! Let me know if we can work this
out, and I get with Marsha about it too. Please if anyone knows if 2
males together can work, let me know! TY!
PS *short term, because she is waiting for her own place.But she knows
she can have him at her new place.
