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??

    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.

    @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

    This whole story is so sad and so sweet. This thread really needs a new, more respectful and descriptive title. Even though I understand the desperate frustration in why it was named this at the start. {{{hugs}}} to you, Rocky's forever mom.

    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.
