Why the dog started marking the house: reasons for the behavior and how to wean it off
Most dog owners know that such actions are natural and that this is how animals mark their territory.
The object of the mark can be a door, a corner, small objects in the apartment, and so on.
Of course, such behavior is unacceptable, and very soon the apartment will be filled with an unbearable smell.
It is possible to wean off this instinct, but you will have to show understanding and persistence.
What to do with this habit
First of all, it is important to understand that punishing the dog will not achieve anything, so it is better to observe the animal and draw conclusions.
This is actually easier to do than it seems. Dogs are smart animals, so you can tell them "ugh, that smells bad" and show your displeasure in other ways.
Note that castration is not a panacea and only works for 40% of pets. It is also important to ensure that previous marks do not emit odor.
