Will a stray dog, after neutering, stop marking his territory?

If a stray dog is 4 years old, and hasn't been neutered yet, and is always marking his territory, once he get neutered, will he stop marking his territory inside the house or no?

No, neutering won't help now.. You would of had to break the habit when it first started, but it seems like it's been going on for awhile so neutering won't do anything but there are training techniques to help marking.

No a dog will never ever stop marking there territory,They love marking there territory i'm pretty sher they will not mark there territory inside the house because it wouldn't make sense I've never seen a dog mark their territory inside of any house msybe go to the bathroom inside but they wouldn't mark there territory in the house!

No, I don't think dogs ever stop. Mine doesn't.

no it may help but it is also in training and not allowing the dog to run around the house where it can't be watched and corrected

Neutering must never be seen as a "cure" for your dogs behavioral problems.Neutering always needs to be done with a solid behavior modification plan in place, and in some cases neutering may exacerbate the problem. Advice on what age to neuter should be sought from your vet.There are more medical and behavioral pros than cons to neutering. See below.Medical Pros of Neutering:•Eliminates risk of testicular cancer in male dogs.•Lowers incidence of disease of the prostate in male dogs.•Reduces the risk of perianal adenomas in male dogs - tumors that occur around the rectum later in life.•No possibility of fathering a litter and adding to the pet overpopulation problem.•Eliminates risk of pyometra - a potentially fatal infection in the uterus of female dogs.•Eliminates risk of uterine cancer in female dogs.•No heat cycles or risk of pregnancy in female dogs•Reduced chance of female dogs developing breast cancer in later lifeMedical Cons of Neutering•Early neutering – i.e., before puberty – increases the risk of a puppy not maturing properly, delaying the closing of growth plates in the long leg bones, which increases the risk or orthopedic disorders.•Weight gain, due to a larger appetite and slower metabolic rate (this can be managed with regular exercise and a good diet). •A neutered dog can sometimes develop hormone-responsive alopecia (hair loss)•Potential risk of incontinence in both sexesBehavioral Pros of Neutering:•Male dogs are less likely to roam.•Male and female dogs are less likely to scent “urine” mark.•Reduced likelihood of sexual aggression and mounting in males.•Removal or testosterone can make many dogs less reactive to other dogs.•Improves a dog’s attention to human owners.Behavioral Cons of Neutering•Dogs neutered before puberty can show pedomorphic tendencies – puppy-like behaviors into adulthood, such as higher excitability.•If dogs are serial humpers, then neutering might not reduce this behavior since it is not just sexually driven.•In some cases, lack of testosterone can lower confidence levels and make male and female dogs more aggressive.•Spaying an aggressive female in order to lower the aggressive response can make her more aggressive, as many calming hormones such as progesterone are greatly reduced. If you do not intend to breed your dog, what is more unnatural, allowing him to suffer tugs of instinct he cannot fulfill, or removing the urge completely? There is no dispute that neutering our dogs is the most significant way we can reduce the huge pet overpopulation problem. So, it can help with it - but you should do proper training along with getting him neutered.
