At this age only extreem measures will work.
You will need the help of someone who can electrify the area so that when the dog lets loose
he will get a low amp shock. 
Just thought of another way. There are area shock collars that are available.
They work by a wire to collar electric charge. I think the activation of the device is about two feet.
The dog at first will get the full jolt of juice but will eventually feel the impending 
bolt of electric energy and back off.
Wire the area the dog is not to enter.
We have a very busy highway near one of our neighbors who have a black lab. NO fence and the dog has never left their yard
in over 7 years. Collar trained for 6 months as a pup wearing a collar. No longer needs the training colllar.

  A customer has a problem with her male dog lifting his leg on the grand leg of the piano. She has tried scolding the dog and squirting his face with a special perfume to deter him but she has not been able to change the dog's behavior. The dog is 11 years old and this has been going on for several yeras. She has diaper pads next to the piano leg to protect the floor. Moving the piano to another location in the living room is not an option. The previous residents had cats and the customer thinks the cats used the same area as a litter box -- maybe the dog is attracted by lingering odors.

  I suggested wrapping the legs in plastic wrap or cellophane, but the result would be a puddle next to the leg. Blocking the dog from the living room would be difficult. She told me she walks the dog several times a day.  Moving the piano to another location in the living room is not possible.  

  Are there any suggestions? Thank you! 

  Sincerely, 

  Christina Sebelius
