More peeing problems??

Behavioral Issues
  • Just one quick question…how do i stop Chilli from peeing on our bed & her bed??

    I'd have to wash all our linen now 3 times a week. She gets taken out in the morning and she does pee. Then during the night we take her out and she doesn't pee!!! Oh almost forgot, in the car too while she's in her crate!!

    please help??

  • For me, the first step would be to NOT let her IN my bed until she stops peeing in it!!

    How old is she?
    Is this a new behavior?

  • thanks, she's only 5 months old so she's still a puppy.

    we kept her in her crate last night and today she seems to have settled and peeing outside.

  • One tip is that there is no 'she didn't pee outside'. You have to stay out with her until she pees. If she doesn't pee, she doesn't come in. It won't take very long for her to get in the habit of peeing as soon as she goes out.

    Also, pups usually have a housetraining regression between 4 and 6 months old. It usually corrects itself within two weeks.

    Good luck :)

  • That is true, I have found that also, seems to be during teething that they regress in potty training.

    I agree with Andrea, NO coming in till she pees… or if you do bring her in, it is for a short time then out again....

  • I agree with Andrea and Pat. No coming in until she has peed outside. I would also recommend that you keep bedroom doors shut as much as possible so she can't sneak in there and pee on the beds. One other thing, some puppies learn that peeing on the floor is bad and they will jump up on the couch or bed and pee there if they really have to "go". If that happens, take one step back in housetraining and stay outside with her every single time and praise her for relieving herself out there. Also restrict the space she is allowed in the house and keep her in the same room you are in so you can see when she needs to go out. If you are consistent, the behavior should stop soon.

  • thanks to all your suggestions. this is the second day/night now and she has peed outside. She has started to go towards the door when she needs to go to do a pee, so i've let her out..stayed with her until she does (which has been very quick, it used to take 5 or so minutes but now only 5 seconds..which is great!! She gets alot of praise when she does and she is quickly allowed back inside. Fingers crossed it stays that way!!

    Yes all bedroom & toilet doors shut..i learnt not to let her out of our sight as she is very sneaky???

    One more question which i find odd..why is there a need for her to clean up after herself after peeing on the floor or her bed??

    @Rocky1: Basenjis chew,this s a fact of life. It might sound like a crazy thing to do,but I bite my pups back. It teaches them that I'M THE BOSS ! It has worked for me for the almost 36 years that I've lived with the little beastys. You can call me crazy,or wrong I don't care Works for me,and my dogs all respect me,and love me. Kathryn Wow, Kathryn - that's funny! I'm sure you just nibble a little. Their feet smell like Tostitos, so just wondering -does the rest of the dog taste like a snack??? LOL

    I am not sure what kind of harness I have and can't find a 'proper' name for it online. This link shows what it looks like although I didn't purchase it from this site: http://www.dog.com/item/adjustable-nylon-harness-black/ . I have double checked and it isn't pinching or pulling them in anyway. It is not really tight, but is a little snug so I don't loose control of them when I am walking them. One dog I have had for awhile and at first she liked it (I actually got it on loan from the rescue where I got her to use and had to end up buying it from them because she got out of all other leads that I had for her - think she just wanted that particular one). After being fine with it for around a month she no longer wants to put it on. I have to lure her into it and put it over her head…once it gets over her head she will sit and lift her leg nicely for you to put it all the way on. The new dog hasn't been here two weeks yet and acts like her about the harness - he too liked it when he came, but now no. Any help would be great - I really lilke the harness because I feel like I am not hurting them too much, can keep control on them, and feel secure that they won't get loose using the harness. I have seen the one's that go all the way around them with the harness clip at the top but not sure if it would be safe to use - they could probably escape? Not sure what to do from here..but they have to walk and will have to use a lead. The gentle leader I feel will not keep him or her secure. I live in an apartment but we are around a lake with tons of land and wild animals. They are always trying to track something and with the surroundings so inviting they will be gone if they get loose. TristA

    Amen to the leash. That was my salvation in terms of fear of Gibby bolting out or jumping on visitors. After many months of making this the norm, he now sits and waits for the leash to go on and allows people in without immediately jumping on them. Naturally, he is curious after he is unleashed but he doesn't feel the need to jump up to get attention. With B's it sure does take months of reinforcement to get the concept identified but they will respond if you are consistent.
