Potty on bed and couch,,,,grrrrrrr

    Thanks so much! All of your comments are very reassuring and helpful. BTY,,,,,,in another week and a half I will be returning to school (I am a teacher). This will be a major change in schedules for Dane and Bella. Do any of you have any advice for how to make this transition easier?

    LUVSMY2B'S, our beagle has peed on our bed. Luckily, not in my spot :eek: Anyway, she does not have access to the bedrooms unless we are in them. If we want to leave the door open for whatever reason we put a tarp on the bed to scare her when she jumps up. This works as well for her. Dash just crawls underneath to sleep.

    You could slowly increase the amount of time you are away and they are alone in their crates. We keep our dogs together when we are gone for company as well. Since she is new I am not sure how commfortable you would be with that.

    I am not sure how helpful that was but anyway…good luck!

    Chance did this a couple of times too but it was either because he was upset with me or too excited while playing and just couldn't hold it anymore.

    Uh…yeah...that has happened to me...once...just once...the production I put on convinced Querk that he never, EVER wanted to do that again. In his defense he was unbelievably excited upon arrival at a new agility class, around a bunch of new dogs, and it was the peak of THE breeding season...we call it temporary insanity.

    We take her and Dane out to pee right before they go to bed sometimes she goes and sometimes she doesnt (she can hold her pee a lot longer than Dane can)

    I make sure mine pees befores she's in for the night She has no choice, as long as it takes. No exceptions. I don't give them a choice - in that we either keep walking (on walk) or she can't go in till she pees. Usually trhe walk always works, due to they can't help marking their turf!

    Funny about peeing on people, we went on a long car ride to visit my wife's sister. I got the dogs out and greated my sisdter in law before letting the dogsd go potty, and of coarse first thing the male does is pee on her!

    He,he…well, let's just say it involved some yelling, and some cursing...and I may have grabbed his scruff......then I am sure I had serious discussion with him, while holding his leetle head in my hands, that if he EVER did that again, he would be a skin hanging on the wall in our family room ;)

    @tanza not her. Tried carrots and she couldn't be bothered with them. I think the shirt worked because I worn an old shirt yesterday and gave it to her without washing it.

    I set up a schedule for my dog's and they always potty train quickly. I take the puppy outside first thing in the morning, after meals, after playing, after nap and right before bed. That usually works well. Of course, I have the luxury of working from home. But this should work for you on weekends.

    A UTI IMO would be the best case scenario, some antibiotics and bam situation resolved. Changing behaviour is a hard thing to do, it takes time and effort. Having your animal checked for medical issues first is what ANY good behaviourist would suggest when there is a signifigant change in the animal. It makes sense. BTW drinking a lot of water would also make me recommend going to the vet first.

    Jack does that when he is sunbathing. He finds the biggest patch of sun he can find, and lays down crossways with his legs poking straight out and his head thrown back. He also likes to sleep with his head propped up on something, like a pillow….or my legs!

    The fast solution is simple and not pleasing… but papermatching WORKS. http://www.woodhavenlabs.com/tplo-normal.html Take a paper match and wet the head of the match in your mouth for a few seconds. Then take the match and insert the head end first into the dog's rectum. Make sure part of the match is hanging out. Within a few seconds the dog should start to get into the position to poop and be successful at doing so. (I had to do this for Darby for about 2-3 weeks)<< So you papermatch and praise like crazy. As for tying him out, most can chew through MOST lines so I would be careful. Better to papermatch til he will go on command in your own yard. Also, how secure is your yard? Can you put him out while you are getting son ready for school alone? However, getting up a bit early to MAKE him potty, THEN secure him (get clips on cage so he cannot escape!) in crate while you take child to school, is better. Btw, 2 wks is a short time, it will all come together! :) Debra
