Topics include:
- Many dogs who mark inside the house are either euthanized or surrendered to shelters because the owners do not know how to fix the problem
- Marking is not a housebreaking issue but rather an emotion that dogs feel
- In order to correct it, you must change the relationship you have with your dog and take back your territory by doing simple exercises with your dog
- By being consistent in your training, this problem can be fixed
