It's true, my dogs wear diapers...
I have four boy dogs, all rescues. Which means that when I adopted them I also adopted their bad habits.
For instance, Calvin, the Chihuahua, is the leader of our pack and he tries to dominate Silvio, the Italian Greyhound. Silvio also wants to be the leader but Chewy (right) and Norman, the schnauzer mixes, won't listen. They follow Calvin.
Because of this we have a major problem called MARKING. Silvio wants all the dogs to think the furniture is his, so what does he do? He pees on it.
Then of course, Chewy and Norman must retaliate and mark over his scent.
This is where diapers saved my life, and my furniture. They make diapers specifically for dogs called Simple Solution that have a hole cut out for their tails, which may be what you're looking for. But they are expensive and I only need the diapers to wrap around their little bellies.
Chewy and Norman wear Publix's brand "stage one" diapers and Silvio wears "stage three". The diapers fit perfect and they are a cheap solution to a huge problem.

You are not really dealing with the problem. you have a dominance issue and I am sure their are other problems associated with this. If you are putting healthy dogs in diapers you have a problem with these dogs that needs to be fixed.

Anthony, thanks for your comments. I agree with you that we have some issues.
The two little ones (Chewy and Norman) were raised in a bathroom, never allowed to go outside. When we met them the first thing they did was mark my pant legs.
Silvio, the IG, (from what we know) was probably never given a name and has notches in his ears for identification. He also has aggression and containment problems. He has been our biggest challenge.
Calvin came from the pound and seemed to be well loved. He does not have marking issues. But he is a Chihuahua (he thinks he's bigger than he is).
The dogs don't always mark in the diapers, most of the time they are just a precaution. I have talked to both my vet and dog trainer about these problems; they had great suggestions that really helped improve the situation.

I am glad you are on course to taking care of these problems. Are these dogs nueterd? You really need take control of the situation and feel free to ask me if you feel some advice doesnt sound correct or you need a second opinion.

Thanks Anthony, I'll keep that in mind. And yes, they are all neutered.
