RE: Puppy Peeing Everywhere
And to perhaps shed more light on the crate training issue, a page you might consider looking at it you have a puppy or are planning on getting one.
http://warreneckstein.com/pettips_caging.html
I'm not here to advertise for the book this guy is selling but if you want a happy socialized dog with fewer behavioral problems, the 12 dollars may be the best investment---certainly for your puppy's sake.
At least worth it to read the page.
RE: Puppy Peeing Everywhere
yes, I have to say consistency is totally necessary. Reward good behavior and ignore bad behavior. Be patient. Provide a good place outside for him to pee that is close--especially if you have an appartment. He may in fact be having a bladder problem. see a vet.
Spend lots of time watching his movements. remember youre looking after a very young kid.
I am not a fan of crate training at all. Sure it's more convenient for the human. But as far as I can tell none of them have been crate trained themselves. Dogs may indeed be den animals but above that they are social animals and want to be with their pack. My dog prefers to sleep ON the bed and clearly many others do.
Our new puppy who slept on our bed from the time she was 7 weeks or so only peed on it once when she couldnt hold it long enough. It's true that they dont like to pee where they sleep.
Crate training is a new trend geared more towards humans than dogs.
And please, for anyone else planning on getting a puppy, discover what you need to BEFORE you get the dog. Why take the chance on doing emotional harm to a tiny young animal who needs love, patience and gentle guidance?
neighbor dog peeing on my yard

My wife and I have bought a home and have recently landscaped the back yard. Our next door neighbor has a rottweiller and he pees on the cyclone fence which of course comes through the fence and on our new walkway. It smells so bad. I am afraid to plant any plants along that side of the yard in fear of them dying because of his urine. Is there anything I could do besides taking down the fence and putting up a privacy fence and washing it with bleach water or vinagar to cover the smell. He has been there and doing this far longer than I have been here so i am not sure if there is anyway to break him of this habit.
RE: Puppy Peeing Everywhere
I've never crate-trained a dog in my life. If it's the middle of winter when I get a puppy, they're paper trained right by the door they will eventually be using to go outside. If the weather is good enough, I train them straight outside and have never had a problem. The only thing I've ever used a crate for is traveling on an airline, when we brought our dog with us from Iceland, and for taking cats to the vet.
RE: Puppy Peeing Everywhere
"(if it makes any difference he never really pees a lot usually a small amount, this is a new development in the last few days.)"
You might want to try the vet since it sounds like he might have a urinary tract problem--it's had a sudden onset, and he does go outside for the most part with only the urge and a small amount after you get back inside.

God be with u! I also have a bully and they are the most awsome dogs you can own. For the peeing I used puppy pads and slowly moved them to the door. Please beware of crate training because Bull Dogs are very sensitive. I know you can crate train them, but remember bullies are a different kind of breed. Before I owned one I would have said they are a dog like any other dog, NO they are not. And remember to clean his ears weekly if not you will have frequent trips to vet.

Crate training is the only way to go, with a little bit of time and effort, following these guidlines the pup will be trained in no time.

RE: Puppy Peeing Everywhere
A puppy should never be taken from its mother before 8 weeks. If yours is only 6 weeks, and has been away from mama for 2, you will have to crate train or keep a careful eye on him when he isn't in the crate. At 6 weeks he doesn't have the ability to control his bladder yet. As he gets a little older, this will come with careful training. Walk him after every meal, more often if needed, and praise him when he goes. Take him to the same spot to urinate when you take him out, as he will smell his previous urine and get the idea. Do not scold or punish when he has an "accident" in the house, and clean up these spots with an odor neutralizer immedialely, or he will keep going in that area. There are lots of articles and books on potty training for pups. Be patient, and consistent, and positive when he does the right thing. Treats when he goes potty in the right place outdoor are a good thing, as well as lots of petting, praise, etc. (08/24/2006)
RE: Puppy Peeing Everywhere
At this early age, he does not know where to go, he will need a lot of patience and love. If you devote an entire weekend to training just him, you will never regret it. Each time he looks for a spot, he wants to pee, and take him gently outside, let him do it. Praise him and take him back in. It will be worth spending the time with your puppy, he needs lots of love and patience. At this very early age, never strike your puppy, it only confuses him. He needs lots and lots of love.

You do need to clean the areas where he's already gone or else he'll return to them - even if you can't smell it he can. You can use baking soda in water - make sure you wet a larger area than what you can see as it spreads under carpet - blot up
OR hydrogen peroxide (make sure colorfast fabric) this I use in a spray bottle undiluted & then blot up.
OR Vinegar will also cut the smell again apply & blot up.
Use one of these even on hardwood floors as the smell will penetrate, we've had to use on furniture for a pup that had an excitable bladder - everytime he got real happy to see you he piddled - we finally got him to stop by using a trainer who trained us that we need to come home & ignore him for 15-20 minutes by reading mail or changing clothes then love him up. It worked amazingly well, we had to train all visitors to ignore him too this was the hard part! Just imagine someone greeting a cocker who immediately rolls to back & pees straight up in the air - always hitting the person's leg or worse!!

When your puppy wakes up from a nap, take him immediately outside. This is usually when puppies pee. You'll see; he'll pee shortly after you have him outside! He'll get used to being outside for a pee, and will be going to the door to go out before you know it. I had my pup at 6 weeks too, and I don't even think it was 3 weeks and she was going outside all the time! (08/26/2006)

RE: Puppy Peeing Everywhere
I am a dog breeder. your puppy is very young and it will pee a lot. You need to let that puppy out every 20 minutes. It is like poddie training a toddle on the toilet. The puppy does not have bladder control. And do yourself a favor, do not use the wee wee pads, all you are teaching the puppy is that ist is okay to pee in the house. That is the worse iea anyone came up with. (08/29/2006)
RE: Puppy Peeing Everywhere
Yep - crate training is the way to go! I've used it with every single dog I've ever had. (08/29/2006)
