How do territorial animals define their territory?

Just as the title suggests, how do animals that will run other animals out of their territory define where the territory starts and stops? With humans we have very obvious signs such as fences and borders to define territories. How does it work with less intelligent animals?

They urinate, or rub scent glands on trees, plants, rocks etc to mark the bounds.
