Default New dog and territory marking

We just adapted a half boxer half great dane mix. He's about 1 or 2 yrs. old
and his history isn't the prettiest. From what we know he was at a minimum
neglected including starved and exposed to the elements. His vet
appointments are already set up to deal with some of these issues and for
more shots and neutering.

We are experienced dog owners (not experts) and did our homework prior to
bringing him home. I'd like more input on the issue of marking territory, so
I have all the bases covered when the big moment comes and he is allowed
unsupervised run of the house.

When we got him home last night we let him examine the yard freely and
toured the workshop and house with him on a leash. He only exhibited
behavior one time that looked like he was preparing to mark indoors. He
stopped after a mild correction of "no".

We have no other dogs but the scent of my son's dog is about, since they
recently stayed with us. We have cats that are comfortable with dogs. He has
been great with them so far.

I'd be interested in any additional thoughts and ideas about making a smooth
transition to him accepting the whole house as a no pee zone.

thanks

SGF
