Hi there. It sounds like these are two separate issues. For urine marking in the house, I would treat this just like any other housetraining issue. Take Milo out frequently for potty breaks, and reward with a treat when he urinates outside. In the house, he needs to be closely supervised at all times to prevent him from having any opportunity to mark. Keep him tethered to you with a leash, if needed. Once he's gone a full two weeks without attempting to mark on anything indoors, you can gradually start to give him a bit more freedom. "Growling at everyone" is very vague, and doesn't really tell us much about what might be causing this behavior. Please feel free to post another question with more information about this, such as who he tends to growl at, what kinds of situations normally cause him to growl, etc. We will be happy to try and help once we have a better idea of what's going on.
