He's pretty much retired at this point at 7 years old. I bring him out occasionally just to have fun. He achieved Grand Champion status & even won group placements. As of right now, he enjoys retirement more than getting up early for a show.
Right now I have my hands full with a couple promising youngsters. One young male I'm handling for a client has potential to go real far. If things hold together, you just might see him at a big show like Westminster. I also own a young female that has big potential. She has certain limitations that will make her a great show dog but not has far as this other male puppy I'm talking about.
You know how it is. It's a lot of 'wait & see" how they come into themselves. Sometimes they do, & sometimes they don't.

There's nothing thats going to repel a male from marking or urinating on something. I have a male that will pee on you if you stand still long enough. It's what they are. You need to stop the owners.

Being 12 years old, I would hesitate changing his diet if he's pretty much healthy other than his teeth/breath.
Don't have your dog knocked out to have it's teeth cleaned. There's too much risk vs benefit at that age.
Have your dog chew on bones (if he can) or attempt to clean them yourself. Also, look for a bad or rotten tooth. It's probably why you have dragon breath at that age.

Don't always have to award with treat, but definitely praise when they do what you want even if it's a struggle during the process. This breed is an old breed & they can be a little stubborn.
Continue to keep walking with her. Spend some time where it's just you & her and don't pressure anything. What I mean by that she has to walk with you but don't force issues of close physical contact. Establish a trust with respect. Take your time & don't forget praise.

Not sure the size of your dog, but sometimes a good bone or knuckle bone does a better job at cleaning the back teeth & stimulating the gums better than anything. My male (almost 7 years old) has the whitest teeth & the healthiest gums.
As for actual teeth cleaning products, I have never used them before.
