My dogue de bordeaux is nearly 9 months old and he has just started marking his scent in the house but this morning i came down and he had weed against the wall and fireplace and on the tv unit and on another cupboard. I can’t have this in the house as i have 4 young children who play in that room and we have nowhere else for him to sleep. He did used to sleep at the bottom of the stairs but then he started chewing the stairs!! This morning he chewed my babys chair, there was fluff and foam everywhere and now i’ll have to buy a new one. How can i stop him doing this when i’m not even there?
Please help because it’s been going on for a while now and we are considering having to rehome him but we really don’t want to because apart from this he is a lovely dog.
It’s not the breeding but showing that i want to do so therefore he needs his balls! As for the water thing it’s a great idea but he only does it at night when we’ve all gone to bed!
Male dogs always smell before they pee so what i did because i was in ur situation i put pepper were u would think he would do it because when he goes to smell little bits of the pepper go up his nose so then he should go away from that area and not pee.
If Ur children are young u might not wont to do that so if he is not an old dog (0-5 it still could work a little bit older) u should get him de-sexed this would get rid of the hormones to mark his territory so he can get the girls so that should stop it if u go to Ur vet they should tell u this and give u more information about it i hope this helped!
If he does it at night lock him in ur laundry or some room…defiantly don’t let him keep on doing it because he will get used to it and u shouldn’t re-home him because of that.
our dog did it and we got a special guy that knows about this stuff he said he is doing it for attention so we all had to give him a lot of attention and every day we had to walk him for 5mins in a small circle because at first they think they are going for a good fun walk but when u keep going around in circles they wont to go in the other direction so then there other side of "im boss of u" comes out so that teaches them that ur the boss and its ur territory and always will be.

He could be marking his territory, like a child he’s probably feeling left out or feeling he has no space of his own so he’s marking it. Could be a sign to watch out he might start going after the kids soon, but 1st try giving him some of your time and see if there is any where in the house that you can just spend time with him and see if it helps

Well… It would seem that since hes nine months old, he’ll behave like a disobedient child. Don’t beat him or anything.. thats not what I’m implying.. now I feel bad. lol. I read somewhere that male dogs don’t mature all the way untill they have their first sexual experience with another dog. I don’t know much about the dogs and its growing and behavior.. you could try the meeting of another dog. But since hes still a puppy.. maybe he wants another Puppy comapnion.. someone to play with.

You could crate him at night then he cant do it. Also he cant chew. Maybe when he is older you could try letting him out at night again. It wont do him any harm – he shouuld be asleep at night anyway.

Ohhh now i see why u want to shut him outside! House train the dog fgs, get him neutered to stop the marking and buy a crate to stop the chewing when your not about or rehome him to someone who cares about him
People like you make me sick…did you not do any research when you brought the dog? NO obviously not..all puppies need housetraining, excercise..think why he is chewing..he is BORED and then when he pees in the house and chews a couple of things you shut him outside to rot and moan cos he is barking.
Rehome the poor thing…
