They have what are called belly bands that many rescues use on "markers". It's an elastic wider band that fits over their genitals and around their body. No, they can't mark with them on. Just remember to take them off so they can go on a regular basis outside. Making them wait too many hours can lead to bladder stones which is another issue with frequent urination and unable to hold it.
Both my dogs tell me when they want to go outside. The female gives a little bark and the male gives a little whimper. They sell a product to put on dogs that are afraid of thunder, it wraparound the belly with a velcro strap that goes around the neck. I put a large human baby diaper on the dog then use the thunder garment to secure the diaper, then I use a bandage similar to an ace bandage only it is more durable and lasts longer than an ace bandage to hold everything into place. I haven't had to use this contraption in many months. I can guarantee one thing and that is no matter how tired I am or even if it is 4 AM and I am sound asleep all comfortable in bed and don't want to get up, I always let my dogs out when they ask me to. There have been time they have ticked me off because I just let them outside 10 or 15 minutes ago and they ask to go out again but I never refuse when they ask to go out
By the way I gave them the nickname PITA #1 and PITA #2
