My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Chip is 2 1/2 years old. He is potty trained, does not bark unless someone is at the door. He walks 2 miles a day and heels very well. He knows how to sit, lay, roll over and shake. He will fetch a frisbee. He has never chewed up anything in the house. He loves dog toys. He has bursts of energy when playing ball and going on his walks, but then he is content to just snuggle up to you for a nap. He is crate trained. The main and only problem is that he likes to mark four spots in our home. We have a 14 year old female Shitzu. When we relocated for work 3 years ago, she stayed with our daughter for a year. We finally brought her home to live with us. We have taken Chip to the vet to make sure there are no uti or infections. There was none. We can’t seem to break him of this habit and do not want to continue to be upset with him and have to crate him. He is a great dog, but we can’t get past this. Maybe a new home without a female dog would be a better fit.
