[Dailydrool] Marking male

[Susan via Dailydrool]

We have a new problem with our three bassets' brother, a German shepherd mix we found after he had just been hit by a car. Chance was only a couple of months old then, but now he's probably a year and a half. 

Chance has started marking/peeing slightly on stuff:  first the plants on the patio, then the legs of our patio chairs. Now he has graduated to peeing on a long-skirted table in the kitchen!  I was on the floor mopping and first noticed it. I took off the table skirt, washed it, dried it, put it back on, and he did it AGAIN.   Took it off, repeated the process, he squirted it again. 

I chased him down, fussed at him and swatted his behind. Does anyone have advice on this?  I'm worried that he'll pee on the sofa or something else upholstered next!  We already had him neutered at a young age. 

Beau, our boy basset, doesn't hike his leg, so I don't know about all this. I think it must have something to do with reaching adulthood or something. Help!  We need advice. 

Susan with
Gigi, Beau, Noodle and naughty Mr. Chance
