It helped with Rudy, but people have posted before it didn't. All these little ones have such different personalities. Either way it is the best thing to do for your dog. Let us know hope his surgery goes. All three of mine did so well after they were fixed, I did get to bring them home that night...................Cindy

Im a member of another yorkie forum and I know a woman whos yorkie male didnt stop hiking even after we was fixed.Infact,he was getting so bad that recently she had to find him another home.
His new owner is also a memebr of the same board and she is now having the same problem...so fixing doesnt always solve the problem.I hope in your case that it does help..if not,you may have to get a supply of beely bands

Have you had any dog's over your house lately? You know, like your friends might bring their dogs with them when they come visit you? The reason I ask is we have some friends who own a t-cup poodle. Well, they had some friends over and they brought their dog. Since then the poodle started marking his territory all over the house. He (Speck is his name) is fixed and is about 2 years old.

They have not been able to break him of the habit. Infact they had to replace all the carpeting, etc. We go camping with them, and now he even marks inside of their camping RV...

I wish you the best of luck. I've always had female doggies so I am not too familiar with the subject but thought Id just tell you what my friends with Speck are going through.

P.S. they kennel him most of the time now unless they can watch him constantly.
