Male dogs can be really annoying. You take them out for a walk and they have to pee on every. single. thing. It can make you 20 minute walk into an hour long bathroom break. Frustrating and kind of gross when you think about it. So how do you deal with it? The best way to reduce the number of marking stops while out on a walk is to just not allow it. You don't have to stop just because your dog does. Allow your dog one opportunity to pee at the start of the walk, and you can also allow one at the end of the walk, outside of that just keep walking. If your dog wants to slow down and sniff and mark, increase your own speed and "walk with purpose." This will increase the pressure on the leash and your dog will often see your speed increase as a sign to come along quickly. You can also 'pop' the leash several times to encourage your dog to keep moving and make stopping to mark an unpleasant experience. Eventually in doing this our boys learn that there is a time and a place to pee, and otherwise they should concentrate on smelling the flowers instead of peeing on them.
