We are cage training our new pup. Sleep in the cage, get in the cage when no one is home or around, etc... Our buy pup is 3 months old, gets lots of play time, and seems to be doing well with this method. Does anyone else have any suggestions or comments from a similar experience?

My first Berner, a male was neutered at 18 months. Never marked, lifted his leg when he felt like it. Only mounted the lovely female Basenji down the street. My current female was neutered at 10 months. She does not mark or lift her leg. I have seen females (neutered) of other breeds "mark".
