I just got a scottie and I had him neutered at 3. He was house trained, but he is marking MY house now. Help!?

He was house trained by his previous owner, and I have another male dog in the house. How can I get him to stop marking my house! I am trying to recrate train him now but he doesnt want to go #2 in the house, and he has marks even when he has already peed outside!
Answers:
You can't. It's normal dog behavior. It is usually better to get dogs in pairs to avoid this. Since he was 3 when he was neutered, he will already have developed some male dominance issues. Just start crate-training like you would any dog. It will take time, but it will work.
Try wipping his feet with a wash cloth before you let him in.
