Hi there! Urine marking on humans is definitely not as common as marking on objects in the environment, but sometimes does happen. This behavior is usually related to stress, anxiety, or over-arousal. More information about the specific situations that tend to trigger the marking behavior would be needed in order to make any specific suggestions. The same is true for "being very defiant," as I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this. Feel free to post again with more information, or request a consultation with one of us for a more in-depth discussion if you prefer.
