speaking of training ...

TxMals:

... and peeing -- here's a conundrum for those who own male Mals with the quick-to-lift leg:

Mr Rowan "solid-concrete-between-the-ears" the Red was neutered at an advanced age; in his previous life, he had been penned up for days on end and had apparently become used to soiling his space. Anyway, he's quite passionate about overmarking ANY traces of another dog, esp. any other male ...

Well, we go to McKinney Falls every weekend, and ever since we gave our friend's dog a lift a few weeks ago, Mr R has been systematically trying to fill the back of the RAV 4 to the brim with pee. I'm zooming after him with the various anti-pet-odor enzymatic cleaners, but he doesn't give a rat's behind -- he's on a mission!! And once he's peed in one place, of course, that's his designated pee-spot from then on.

Note: this dog gets by on his spectacular looks, not his brains ...

So what does one do in this situation? Sell the car to someone with a cold?? ;-) buy him Depends??

Thanks for any advice!
Cheers
