More peeing problems??

    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.

    One thing that I have learned in life is to accept that things are not all black or all white. Life is shades of gray and just because someone sees a different shade of gray than you do, it doesn't mean their shade is right or wrong, its just different. ~ Robyn Dubbert

    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??

    I have noticed my female besingi mix (18months) of age becoming more and more agressively towards me, children, and other dogs. She is very well socialized however she is becoming more dominant, wanting to nip at faces agressively when playing with dogs who too want to attack playfully at the face. However, she has become very aggressively to mommy when trying to keep her outside while I vacuum and she absolutely hates the vaccum and having the door shut closing her off from me. SHe tried to bite my arm (very agressive face with fangs out and fur up) last week and I had to use a broom in order to shut the door. Additionally, she snarls at children. Khloe and I are the only 2 in my household, so no kids and no one else. Only few friends and neighbors stop by but lately she is getting even more aggressive towards them, even if she knows them. I do not know what to do. We were kicked out of puppy training when she was 4 months old b/c she has severe leash aggression. She does work well with a clicker, but I dont always have the clicker on me. My vet today told me to come on here to see if you guys could potentially help or lead me to the right direction of contacting an animal behavioralist. He stated Khloe will only get worse if nothing is done. Additionally, I do not spank Khloe, I only use a clicker, but obviously does not show her that I am the dominant one. SHe also demands all of my time to the light up laser for hours on end and will not give up. Please help! Vonda

    Btw, let me add… after about 5 mos, neutering often has NO effect on marking behavior. You should also treat ANY new dog, puppy or adult, as a puppy. Which means you either have them leashed to you, crated, or actively watching every single move. It is far easier to stop marking from starting (or any bad behavior) than correcting it once establish. You also need to go back to that when marking or other unwanted behaviors start. Sure, it's a pain in the butt, but easier than letting it become a habit then try to retrain.

    Can I ask…my previous guy seemed to actually lick himself just so he wouldn't have an accident. Usually when I had left him for longer than normal 'cause I had errands or something. I would come home, let him out of the crate, but I always wanted to change clothes first and while I was changing he would, sometimes, just lick and lick, until we went out. Was he just putting up with me and being a really good dog?! Or being a perv?!:eek:

    Had a Corgi at the bark park come up to me, look at me with the cute face Corgis have, then lift his leg and pee all over my shoe. I gave him the same line I give She-Ra: "You're lucky you're so damn cute!" :)

    When I first got Tayda, I left her in the bedroom when i went to take a shower. When I got out of the shower, I noticed she peed on the bed! I totally thought it was out of anger that I left her in the bedroom. Strangely, when I brought Lenny home a year later as a puppy, he did the same thing.
