Belly Bands So, I was advised to get a belly band because the Yorkie I might adopt marks in the house. I put in on him and its fine, but when I took it off to give him a bath and it was full of pee. It makes me wonder how many times he marked when I didn't see him, as he was always under supervision. At least now it isn't going in the house. Well now I'm thinking, does he think he is marking in the house? Wouldn't the belly band make him pee in the house even though it isn't necessarily on the house, thus teaching him it is ok to pee in the house? He seems unaffected by the pee touching him. It kind of all soaks into the pad.
He is getting neutered in 4 days (weds). Hopefully that will help. He marked so much it soaked through the pad and onto the band (now I have to wash it). It isn't pee since I take him out every hour. He just marked so many times. I have to admit, I was not keeping a close eye on him. Before he was NEVER out of sight. Now I let him out of sight sometimes since I know he has a belly band.
