How do i get him to stop peeing in the house?
My 7 month old german shepherd/ husky cross dog wont stop peeing in the house. I was wondering if he was doing it to get attention. and also how do i get hime to stop? i go though sooooo many paper towels and antibacterial wipes, i am wondering if there is any hope for him or if we will have to get rid of him.
i keep him locked up in his kennel when i am not home and when i cant watch him and i take him out after he has a nap, eats, drinks and that but when you turn you back for 1 minute... he pees

The best way to housebreak a dog is to kennel him when not under your direct supervision. Dogs don't like to pee where they sleep and eat.
Take him out after he eats, plays, gets up from a nap. You're also going to have to do something about the urine smell on the carpet or floor. He's going to be attracted to the places where he peed before and keep going there if you don't get it cleaned up.

Now, as a responsible dog owner, unless you know about breeding and raising puppies, then you shouldn't be doing it. Why do you want to have puppies? Are you prepared to have a half dozen more dogs peeing in your house? What would you do if the puppies didn't find homes or someone couldn't keep one that you sold? This is something you MUST be prepared for for the health of all your dogs. I'm aure there are plenty of complications common in pugs because of their face and body structure. It may help to have another breeder guide you if you insist on continuing. As for the peeing, get a belly band. It's like a diaper, except it only goes around the belly blocking urine from hitting anything. This is a quick solution, though not guaranteed to stop him from trying. Some say that the feeling of sitting in their own urine will eventually teach them to not do it when they're in the house. You take the band off when he goes outside. And purchase a pet-specific enzymatic cleaner to ensure that all accidents are completely undetectable by him. And, lastly, when you can't watch him, crate him.

dogs will pee where they sleep my puppy did i had to take her bed away till she was house trained, it took a long time to do so but we got there we had the same problem and went thou so much towles n wipes in the mean time, just b patiant and work with the dog, put him out side every hour or so, use treats he realli loves for when he goes outside and find a punishment that isnt mean or gunna hurt him cos wen he goes inside so he knows right from rong this could take a few weeks but he will get the hang on it, it is proberly for attention but let him know he will get the right kind of attention if he goes in the right place and he should start being good
i hope this helps
good luck

You might want to try a training aid spray.(you can get it at Walmart or a pet store. Hartz makes a very good one.) It doesn't cover the pee smell but it does make the dog NOT want to go around that area. Also I don't allow my Alaskan Malamute to be on the carpet because he can smell the dog that lived here before me. He is a kitchen dog lol.
Good luck with the training.

the thing u need to do is get a spray that removes pet odours, you can get them outa pet shop because if ur dog still smells his pee, he will keep peeing over it. u don't need to get rid of ur dog over this u can get him to stop. how many walks does he go on a day? u need to get him in the habit of only peeing on a walk or garden. so after feeding and naps etc take him out a walk or let him out the back, and if u catch him peeing open the door straight away and interupt him to go outside. he will catch on soon, just be persistant with training.

Your dog is old enough to be outside. If you let him be outside he will soon enough have a spot to pee on.
If you keep having him indoors he wont stop unless you cut him off when he peeing...push him out side and say "no!" while pointing at him.
