Hello, need some help

  • Hello & welcome to the forum. You never said how long tupper has to wait between trips to go P. It might be that he still can't hold his bladder long enough. Also, does he have access to water always? or do you limit? These are things to take into account when training. Hope this might help.

  • Yes we have been limiting his water. He does it on purpose. This morning after we went out. Then this evening after it was washed, I put down his blanket, he walked over to it and pee'd a little.

  • Unless you actually catch him p'n, there's no correction. There are deterrents, & taking him out more often. Lots of praise when he p's outside, reward good behavior.

  • Give him wonderful treats when he pees outside, cheese, chicken, things that he only gets when he "does good" outside.
    He will pick up the message really soon.

    Typically dogs really do not do it on purpose… I would not wonder if he still is getting the pee smell even after washed... Had he been out right before he peed on the blanket? and if you catch him in the act then you can correct him (and the best IMO) is to distract with a hand clap if in the act and then immediately take him outside... when he pees outside then praise and treat him.....

    Who did you get him from if you don't mind sharing?

  • He is very good about going outside, and gets treats This only started two days ago. I like the pee smell still being in the blanket theory.

    It is also not uncommon for puppies of both sexes to get UTI's. You might want to have the Vet check it out.

  • We got Tupper from Arubmec Basenjis in California. Another breeder from New Jersey Doris Daniels helped us find him.

  • Welcome hamez and Tupper. Hope you learn all you need to here at the forums.

    My Ty (male) when he was little, often leaked a small amount of pee when he "held it" past his critical mass time. He also had occasions when he was so into playing that even when we took him outside, he did a a little piddle inside because he didn't relieve himself all the way.

    We had to encourage extra play outside after the first pee, to encourage the 2nd pee drain. He wanted to pee fast and run back in FAST to play again.

    Well that would be Pat Cembura…ggg... I know her well... and the litter.... congrats....

    I still would have him checked by a Vet to make sure he doesn't have a UTI... and then if there is not a problem... it just might be that he is marking the blanket, "if" this is really the only place he is doing this....

    Puppy boys are pretty well known for "dripping".... gggg

    Well done to you and Maca as you've obviously sorted out the 'poo' problem. Basenjis are really very clean if they're allowed to be and I'm sure she appreciates you keeping her 'poo' area clear.

    Try to find somewhere that offers the IDEXX snap 4DX test. It tests for heartworm as well as lyme, erlichia and anaplasmosis. The last 3 are all rickettsial diseases that can cause behavioral changes as well. If medical causes are ruled out, there is a great group on yahoo groups called agbeh. It is the Aggressive behaviors in dogs group. It is very strict due to the sensitivity of dealing with aggressive dogs, but the files and links on the group are great, and reading through the archives is invaluable. -full disclosure: I am not the owner of the group, but I am a moderator for the group. here is the website: http://www.aggressivebehaviorsindogs.com/ and the group: http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/agbeh/ -Nicole

    Wondering how your two are taking to each other now. We've had Bongo for just over 3 weeks - seems like so much longer - and he and Fiji are now a real team. Wish I'd had the camera handy last night when they were sleeping on the couch with Bongo draped over Fiji. (The first week they'd share the couch but at far opposite ends.) They walk together, run together and share toys and bowls. She still puts him in his place if he messes with her crate, or crosses some other line that only the b's know and understand, but he takes it like a dog. I'm actually surprised, and thrilled of course, that they bonded so quickly. How are yours coming along?
