Yep, three years old is a time when many large male dogs hit true sexual maturity. One of my Rottweilers is 2 1/2 (neutered, but neutered at 18 months old, so in many respects he still acts like an intact dog) and I am recently seeing changes...he's getting more assertive and pushy. Sort of like a second adolescence!
Now my dogs don't mark inside, but both boys will pee in the food bowls outside, which is really yucky. They finish eating, then lift their legs over the bowl. Eww! But I guess I can deal with that.
I was at someone's house once..they had a young adult male husky. That dog greeted me nicely, then lifted his leg and PEED ON MY LEG!!!! Haha. I know huskies are known to be difficult and stubborn, there's a couple of people in my advanced obedience class that I go to with huskies, both have titled dogs in obedience and agility, but they're always joking about what a pain it is to train them.
So...you're not alone. Good luck with the training!
