How do I stop my neutered pug from marking on furniture indoors?

Question

I have a 1 year old pug (who is neutered) who keeps on lifting his leg all over the house. He does it all the time! Last year he had been treated for an bladder infection. I have a couple other dogs who are good and don't do this. My pug lifts his leg on furniture, blankets, backpacks, and anything else on the floor that might look good to him.

Sounds like Pugsley may still be exhibiting marking behavior! If you have other dogs in the house or aren't properly removing the urine scent from the house, it may be compelling him to continue marking. If you catch him in the act, stop him immediately and take him outside to finish going. In the house you can use baby gates to limit access to certain areas of the house where he attempts to mark to help stop the habit. Keeping him in a kitchen or other easy to clean area can help. For removing any marked areas, an enzymatic cleaner is best as it will break down the urine particles that may be attracting him to lift his leg there again and can help stop the habit.
