So glad to hear your baby is perfect, sounds like you are on the right track with training.

If I read this right it sounds like you are putting the diaper on him when you take him outside for a walk ?
If so he should not be wearing a diaper outside, outside is for relieving himself.

If I have misunderstood you and the diaper is only used on him when you go out to visit in other peoples homes, then yes he should wear it and it should be changed often.

If you keep his diaper changed quite often indoors, then it will help as the smell of urine will not be on all the objects in the house therefore your peke should not want to mark territory.

Also if you get your peke neutered (you did not mention if he was or not) this will also curb the need to mark territory.

YES he certainly is. your sister's peke is a VERY DOMINANT male and is making sure he marks territory so all other dogs will know he is the boss . Not much you can do about his dominancy except neuter him , and this will slow him down a bit but at his age (5 yrs) it will never completely stop him.
