Can anyone help I have a staffie and akita who are five years old. Ever since we got them the staffie has every now and again relieved himself on the corner of my sofa. At first we thought this was because he was being dominant over the akita and marking his scent, but now he does it every time he gets left or told off!!! The akita then does this aswell to mark his scent and we end up with them both doing it over and over again. I have an 11 month old little girl who is crawling about the floor so this is getting a big problem. The staffie has also always had a problem with crying when we go out. We have tried leaving him for different amounts of time but it doesn't work. Please can anyone offer any advice as i don't know what else to do.
