Dog No Longer House Broken

RE: Dog No Longer House Broken By HOUNDOWNERWITHPROBLEMS (Guest Post) Our 11 month old mixed hound breed has recently started peeing in the house again. She's had two accidents in two days and we were really surprised because she hasn't done this since she's a few months old. Also, we've noticed that she's recently gone back to chewing on things, especially pillows. She did have a terrible phase of this around 5 months old, as we expected, but now we are unprepared for this change for the worse. Any ideas?

She now pees and poops in the house for no reason when she is taken out frequently, when I'm home, and when I'm at work. She has panic attacks if she is in the kennel. Any ideas?

I've lived in very cold weather a lot with my Dobermans, and if there's a problem or I think there will be a problem, then I only leave them in the house when I can supervise them. Otherwise, kennel the dog (after taking them personally outside), then when you get back home, etc...Take them back out again. IF they are kenneled inside, they won't have much choice but to wait patiently for the next potty break, and if you're supervising, you can of course, correct them and make them go out if you see an accident about to occur. Also, a goodie upon returning to the warm house after a successful potty break never hurts!

I take our dog out each night at 9pm. He is not happy about it, sometimes I bribe him with a biscuit, but he knows that he has to go outside. You might need to put him on his lead, so that he gets down to business and doesn't start playing. Our dog used to walk around and then come back inside. With the use of the lead, I knew if he had no been and that he wasn't going inside until he had been. He soon got the message, particular when I would stand inside and shut the door almost over, while he was still outside. He got lots of praise when he did go and now he knows that when I put my coffee cup in the sink its time to go outside. If he doesn't get off his cushion, I gently put my foot under his tail and give him a gentle nudge, after a few nudges he moves. Make a big fuss of him when he does go outside. Good luck.

My brother lives in Kingston Canada (i'm in Australia) they get heaps of snow and below freezing temps. He has 2 airedales and though theyre fine in summer, he's often emailed me that in winter they are extremely reluctant to go outside. They just take them out, reluctant or not, and stay out there with them BRRRR until they relieve themselves.

I had this problem with my little mini doxie. I started taking her outside OFTEN and staying with her. She didn't seem to want to be out alone. When I saw her have an "accident" (not sure that's the right word!!) I would immediatly take her out and we'd stay for a good while even thought she was probably finished. Eventually she seemed to realize she was going to go out even if she didn't want to so she may as well do it outside and avoid my cold shoulder. I didn't spank or punish but I wouldn't hold her for awhile after she wet my floor. When she did it outside I would clap and tell her how wonderful she was and I'd take her in and hold her and love her..she got rewarded for good instead of punished for bad. Seemed to work for us but did take time and persistance. Posted on 11/29/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse
