when will my dog stop marking his spot? how do i stop him?

he may smell the scent of another dog around the house,

that is why he is covering it up

i would suggest carpet clean if he is doing it inside

if outside put a lot of bleach down

i would also suggest giving him regular toilet breaks

or if he is not neutered

i would have him done if he is not, as this may be a sign of dominance

He's probably not purposefully marking his territory in your house, he's probably just not housetrained and doesn't know any better. Frequent urinating can sometimes be due to a bladder infection - if it's all over the place, not just in one or two spots, it's time for a vet check. Dogs with a UTI also sometimes urinate in their sleep.

If you've got him checked out and he's not sick, it's back to housetraining 101.

1. Set up a schedule. If he's still a puppy, you'll have to take him out frequently. A general rule of thumb is that most puppies can hold it for one hour longer than their age. For example, a three-month-old pup can hold it for three or four hours max. Keep walks and feeding consistent. Take him out first thing in the morning, a few times during the day, and right before you go to bed.

2. Buy a crate. A crate-trained dog will see a crate as a den and will not eliminate in it. Keep him in it while you're not home and at night so he won't have an accident.

3. When you take him out, keep him on-leash and go straight to a designated potty-area. Stand in one place and let him circle around you. Give him five minutes. If he goes, praise him big-time and give him a really tasty treat, like a piece of meat or cheese. If he doesn't, no worries, just put him in his crate and try again in twenty minutes.

4. If you catch him having an accident, don't scold or punish him. This is ineffective and will make him nervous about eliminating in front of you, inside or out. It can also make him lose trust in you.

Good luck!

Neutering won't stop the behavior, especially if you don't know what the behavior is. I've seen neutered dogs still go to bushes at the edge of the property and urinate on them. If a dog can smell something there, they may have an urge to pee on it (I've seen females do the same thing). Fixing it most likely won't help.

Does he pee in the same spot everytime? He might not be housebroken, or he needs to see a vet.

Phone calls to the vet are free.

This seems to be a dominance issue. Is he neutered? Quite often the object he is marking is something new or different with unfamiliar smells that has come into the house. A dog leaves it's scent in urine to tell other dogs a message. The messages vary. Usually they mean "i own this" because dogs use urine marks to conclude they own the area and are in charge of it. Sometimes seperation anxiety can make this happens. Maybe he is sad your mother is away. Two or more dogs can cause competition between the dogs and the dogs are more likely to mark.

Prevention: If you see him about to mark or sniffing around then throw a ball at him or something to distract him. Sometimes coins in a plastic bottle which make a shaker can alert him to stop.

He is marking his territory due to the other male in the house... your best bet would be to remove the smell from the spaces where he pees completely. They seel things for this at your local petsmart.

And I'd like to know how a pit bull and a chiuaua mated!!!! hahahaha

First have him neutered. That will reduce the urge to scent mark. Second, because he smells another dog's scent, he's trying to assert his dominance and ownership of everything by peeing on it. If the scent marking behavior is well engrained, he may never completely quit, but neutering will reduce the urge.

Is this in the house?
