    dogs marking humans

    My 18 month retriever has just started to "Mark" people when we are in the field before walking with our friends & their dogs .... he is neutered and this is the only time that I have seen this .. doesn't occur during our hikes

    HI, this is very interesting, my suggestion is keep him on a leash and if you see him about to "mark" anyone, give him a little tug to break the focus and let him know it's not ok, don't yell or make a huge fuss, just a little pop, and a firm NO. Give that a try, let me know if that works. If you can catch him before he does it that will help teach him not to do it at all.
