We’ll say it again: scolding, reprimanding or punishing your dog won’t stop him (or her – female dogs do it too) from marking – it’s an instinctive behaviour. Scolding and punishment will only increase your dog’s anxiety, which can worsen their tendency to mark. To stop your dog from marking indoors, it’s impawtant to tackle the why, rather than just try to deter the behaviour itself.

In this article, we’ll address the relevant questions… one mark at a time!

Dogs ‘mark’ their territory for many different reasons. We explore the why and also explain how to get your dog to stop marking – especially indoors!
