Sherri,I understand your frustration,but male dogs are going to mark their territory no matter what,now there will be people who will tell you that there are all kind of ways to stop them,but I have owned chi's for over 15 years,I have 9,3 boys and I have done everything there is to do and they still mark.The only way to stop them is to put them outside.I only put old rugs in my house,I use sheets on my furniture,but I love my chi's more than pretty floors and furniture,so I work it out.I hope that you will consider how much he means to you before you decide to put him in a shelter to probably be put down.My opinion is that when we got our animals,they had no choice,they are like children,they have to be taken care of and it is our responsibilty to do that.Take him out more often,put him in a pen outside in a closed-in place and take him out more.Good Luck --- sherri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
