131. Urine marking by male Shih Tzu

Toilet Training Your First Puppy in Singapore

One tip from an owner to prevent urine marking is to disallow the male dog to walk near vertical objects like lamp-posts or trees when going outside. He may observe other male dogs doing urine marking and will do this.



In this case, the male dog does not urine mark at home. However, he sprays urine on new objects like a new bag.

The retained canine teeth should have dropped off by 7 months of age. If not, consult your vet to remove them as they block the eruption of the permanent canine teeth.
