Hi Judy
I am thrilled with your potty training for pets blog. Just shows how much Dr Sing Kong Yuen cares for dogs. Mine was owned by a pub owner whose plan was to make (dog's first name) (dog's second name was known by that name!!) the pub mascot. Alas, he lost interest as the owner got busy running the pub and the dog was up for adoption. I took him on and he and been a source of joy. We renamed him (dog's second name, XXX Pereira and he carries the name with great dignity playful as he is.
He is pretty good for a dog that now lives in a three room HDB and we have some difficult times when he lifts his leg in several awkward places. I do not scold him if i discover the mess after the offense has been commited. However he slinks away when he sees me mop the puddle.
There's a problem that's bothering me as i have been told that he is allergic to protein, carbohydrate, meat, chicken and fish. He is on kibbles named (pet food name). I am concerned and would like to make as appointment to have XXX looked at by Dr Sing.
Please let me have contact details.
Many thanks and wish you a Happy New Year,

Thanks for compliments.
Urine marking by male dogs is a common complaint. It is a natural territorial marking behaviour and most male dogs will lift their legs to define the boundaries of their territories (in this case, your apartment).
Have you tried using a urine neutraliser available at petshops or use vinegar 1:2 to spray onto the soiled area. Make sure your mop is thoroughly cleaned by lots of water and/or vinegar to neutralise the ammonia of dog's urine. However, some male dogs seem to be unable to control their natural urine marking instinct.
Some owners have great ideas on how to prevent this behaviour before the male dog reaches 6 months of age, but you may need to read the over 200 blogs in the research on toilet training blog to locate the case study. One solution was to not let the less than 6-month-old puppy see other male dogs marking lifting their legs when the owner brings him downstairs to the outdoors. Another suggestion from an owner was not to walk the puppy near the lamp post or trees! In this way, the puppy will pee like female dogs! I do not know how effective such methods are.
In any case, yours is 4 years old. So, the recommendations may not be appropriate for your case. Castration when the behaviour has not manifested may be a solution. Once the behaviour is established, castration may or may not resolve your problem.
