How to prevent the dog from marking indoors

Male dogs usually have the instinct to mark their territory and to leave messages in this way on objects. If the dog has been educated since childhood to do everything outside the home, it is rare that it goes to mark a piece of furniture inside, because it knows that it cannot do it, but there are many who allow themselves to be carried away by their instinct and mark furniture and other objects in the home, with the consequent hygiene problem.

If we want to prevent the dog dial inside home, then we must do some things that we may be ignoring and that can exacerbate the problem. This is quite common in young males, but even if we have adopted it as an adult, it can always learn not to do this indoors.

The first thing we can do to avoid this is the most sensible thing to do, which is about sterilize the dog. This will also prevent them from having problems in the reproductive organs in the senior stage, avoiding tumors or infections. With this you will no longer have the need to mark things, or at least you will do it less frequently, so it will be easier for us to teach you.

If you have things that you mark frequently the first thing is clean and disinfect them good, because if they smell a bit it will mark them again. We must be attentive when he approaches them and smells them, because we must reprimand him the moment he does it, so that he understands what is wrong.

As here we believe in positive teachings, the best we can do is reward him when he marks things outside the home, so that he understands that this is the right place to do it, and not inside the house. With these little guidelines and with some patience we can teach the dog to stop marking inside the house.
