Yes Cody is neutered, and I realize that he still will mark--my dog does sometimes. I don't know why she is using the pee pads, I had thought that was why Cody was using them also--kind of like "if he can do it, so can I"
I have always read that it is much harder to train a dog to go outside after using the pads or newspaper or whatever.
I will have to talk to her about it--he is a tiny dog, and taking him out doesn't require much effort, even though it is cold out.
I also know that sometimes pups can "learn" from an older dog in the house, whether it's good or bad, and in this case it will just continue to go around and around, I suppose.
She doesn't crate the new guy either, just blocks off her kitchen, maybe that is a problem too--I've tried to tell her to crate him, but I get, "he's so small, he can't hurt anything"
