RE: Grown Up Dog Peeing In the House
I have the exact same issue with a recently adopted Schnauzer. I have two Labs - male and female. The Schnauzer was adopted in June. The dogs all get along great together and everything was fine until about a month ago. The Schnauzer started peeing on everything. He will pee outside and then come back in and hike his leg on my furniture.
Any suggestions? This dog is so sweet and I don't want to give him away but I am tired of finding and cleaning up pee.

RE: Grown Up Dog Peeing In the House
Hi Everyone
I have a 10 years old beagle, just recently he's been using the carpets in my basement as his personal toilet. I walk him constantly after every meal,and real late at night. Sometime between 12am-8am he goes down to basement and do his dirty business. my wife does not like the dog since day one now she is at the point that she wants him out of the house.
I keep cleaning the area but he keeps returning to the same spots, he is a beagle by nature are stubburn. Is there anything I can place on the carpet so he will hate to do his busines there?
Anyone with an idea that has worked please email me at beto6700@yahoo.com
Thanks

RE: Grown Up Dog Peeing In the House
I have a 7 year old male Lab mix. Everything has been fine up to about 3 months ago. Around 6 months ago my granddaughter came and is staying with me, her and her 1 year old female dog. Well my dog did just fine for 3 months. Then he started urinating and then defecating in different rooms in the house. He is getting left out all the time. He has not been caught doing this either, but he is the one.
Does this have anything to do with the change in the house or is it partly because I have not been around him as much because I am getting older and have been in and out of the nursing home for extended stays, sometimes 40 days at a time. What to do? Thank you, Mary

I have a 1 1/2 year old chihuahua mix, he's been crate trained since he was 5 months and he has always pee'd and Pooped in the house, I take him out at least 7 times a day but he still goes in the house, and after all that even he will pee in his bed, and this might sound crazy but his pee smells perticularly revolting, even getting a whiff of it down the hall makes me gag.....is there something wrong with him ....what do I do??

RE: Grown Up Dog Peeing In the House
My dog has gone blind over the past 6 months. Now she pees in the house right after I let her out, and we leave to go to the store even for 10-15 minutes to get a pack of cigarettes. However, if someone is home, she doesn't do it. She goes out as usual every 3-4 hours, not peeing in the house at all. Why is this? I was thinking maybe its because she gets scared being alone (and blind) I don't know? Help!

If this is not normal behaviour for your dog, you may consider taking your dog to the vet. Your dog could have a bladder infection.

Kim, Take your dog to the vet. Their is a problem if the leg is bothering your dog. Ya she or he gets back on the coach, that is what they do. But the Vet will know the problem. My dog had horrible breath and it was so bad I didn't want her in the same room. I took her to the vet and had two teeth removed and her teeth cleaned and her breath doesn't smell at all. My point is she had a problem!

My mom said they need to go but my brother and I love them and don't want to let them go. Please if anyone knows what to do let me know, my email is cpropmanager AT yahoo.com thanks

RE: Grown Up Dog Peeing In the House
I have a 10 year old female rottie that has been housetrained and is now peeing in the house- she has had 5 accidents in the last two weeks. We have lived here for 9 years, and this past fall had to put our 11 year old male rottie to sleep b/c he had cancer... not sure why the female is peeing in the house and not sure how to stop her. She is also having issues with her back right leg, as far as slipping on the hardwoods and not being able to get up so that sometimes she drags her hind quarters around. But she is certainly capable of getting onto and off of the sofa for her naps....anyone know how to get her to stop peeing in the house? I have three small kids and this is becoming quite disgusting!

My doggys (2) do it too. My dad is trying to find a new owner for them but I can't get rid of them, I sleep with them every night. I cried all night when he said it. I can't live without them unless I know they can be trained by a new owner and not sent to the pound. I heard they get killed there.

RE: Grown Up Dog Peeing In the House
I have a 8 yr old female beagle, that pees in the house, when I am at work. She was properly potty trained and just started doing this about a year ago. I have no idea how to get her to stop doing this. I thought about putting her in her crate again, but that bothers me, because she has not be crated in 7 yrs. I just can not have her peeing in my house anymore. Also the odor is horrible, how do get the smell out of carpeting. I have tried everything, and it still smells. Please help!

RE: Grown Up Dog Peeing In the House
my dog does the same thing and she is 3 as well. im starting to think it might be territorial because she just lays in it. even after we let her out she sometimes will lay out in the deck and do the same thing. my mom is just about ready to get rid of her. i have no idea what to do.

RE: Grown Up Dog Peeing In the House
Hi Raea I had a dog that did the same thing,I shampooed my carpet and where the stain had been,I sprayed Perfume.the dogs hate the smell [even the air wick smell ] so use fabreeze or a spray of your favorite cologne.I guess it stings their noses.their pee smell will stay in the carpet so when the come back in the house,you may not smell it but they will.put something there that they DON'T like! a rolled up newspaper across the butt while they urinate also helps,then immediately put them outside.they learn real fast that peeing in the house is a no no.

RE: Grown Up Dog Peeing In the House
have you tried making him diapers. My old dog( 18) is blind so doesn't know how to tell us any longer he wants out. I make a diaper case that ties around his chest at one end and has a hole for the tail and ties at the other end. I put a tiny baby diaper on the inside and it catches everything that I otherwise miss. It took me a long time to figure this out but if you'd like more detail directions feel free to email me monamie627 AT cs.com. good luck. Ceil

We have a large adult male dog that does the same thing. I've been told that he is just instinctively marking his territory and will probably always do so. We had to make him basically an outside dog. When he comes in to visit or when the weather dictates, he likes to get under the dining table in our family room and sleep. Going with this natural behavior, we put a leash on him and tie the other end to the table leg. When he is ready to go back outside he lets us know by barking. This way he gets to be social and yet does not have the run of the house. We have not had any "marking" incidents since we started doing this.

This was just covered yesterday. You can look it up in the archives, or if there's a link to yesterday's column.
