Even the one neutered at a year did not mark. At any rate, it is the non-neutered dogs that tend to mark. And there are very few non-neutered dogs these days.
Again, I fear you are making a blanket accusation. But I will say that a short leash and owner control will keep any dog, neutered or not, from going on someone's lawn. And that's the right thing to do.

We had one that was a marker, he was also an alpha and also had been neutered before a year. I guess it depends on the dog. We keep all of our dogs on a short leash and are careful where we let them go.
