My trained dog started peeing in the home – how do I stop it?

She’s a mix, two years old and has begun submissively (I believe) peeing in his home (now our home). How do I correct this behavior? I went back to crate training her and she was great for two months, then on Friday she peed 3 times in the house – I don’t get it and she does it RIGHT in front of you as if to say “F you”. I don’t know what more to do for her to make her happy - walks, play time, stern discipline; not helping – what should I try now

    Sounds like a medical problem, bladder infection, or kidney infection comes to mind. Get a specimen and take it in to the vet for analysis before getting angry at your dog for something it no doubt can't help.

    As a former vet tech, we've been given this question each and all the time on the animal scientific institution I used to artwork at. There are 2 consumer-friendly motives. A.) they have a bladder an infection. that's consumer-friendly in animals merely like people, so which you will constantly have them checked on the vet and the meds are quite inexpensive. B.) i'm assuming your canines are male, so as that they are marking a territory that each and each different have peed on. This one is harder to regulate. that's a potential component between the canines. in case you have a U-Haul close to you, they make an magnificent puppy stain remover. be certain you get the U-Haul variety. It clears up each little thing. in any different case Nature's Miracle is a 2nd hotel. Now, if that's something else, such as you have replaced some time table, rearranged the domicile, delivered somebody new into your existence, etc., this could be greater of a controversy. they choose time to settle into the recent existence. Spend as lots time with them as conceivable. Take them with you once you regulate your outfits, cook dinner interior the kitchen, etc. they are going to be much less frightened approximately issues in the event that they know you're no longer "leaving" them. If all else fails, touch a canines behaviourist. i might initiate on the vet first although. getting rid of them will basically make issues worse for them, and in the event that they have peeing themes, maximum shelters will overlook them and specific euthanize them. You those that suggested to triumph over them and mistreat them are jerks and that i'm hoping you're happy with yourselves. you look like asses. good success!!!

    You don't tell her breeds, that has a lot to do with it, how and who trained her and so forth.

    Some dogs do it for attention , other times it can be medical and most times it some way of letting humans know that theres a problem.. I own 4 dogs, rottwieler, poodle , chichaua, pit bull

    My 8 yr old poodle has accidents alot but usually because i've left him alone too long or too much

    My pit does it cause someone trained her on puppy pads in her crate and i have to retrain her..

    Source(s): I've had training and personal experiences in over 40 years..

    1) Infection or Illness?

    Of course it can always be a bladder infection or another medical condition, so you should have your pet checked out by a vet! Dogs and cats behave differently, but with our cat, we found that besides infection or illness, here are several more reasons a pet will suddenly started doing this:

    2) He smells pee: If he smells other animal's pee (or his own pee) most dogs will continue to keep going back to that spot! When my mom moved to a new house, the previous owner had other dogs that had peed in that spot before (we found out exactly where, when we pulled the carpeting up). You will need to buy an "enzyme-based" pet cleaner from the pet store and saturate the rug and the rug-pad so he won't smell the pee anymore. After applying the enzyme cleaner, cover it with plastic (a new flat garbage bag works well) and leave overnight. The enzyme cleaner only works when it's wet, the plastic helps keep area wet. For more details, read below:

    Cleaning Pet Messes: (read my post towards the bottom) thriftyfun.com

    3) Marking Territory: Like if a new animal came into your house or even outside.

    4) Fear: Our cat was afraid to go outside because another cat attacked him.

    5) Wild Animals: and Staying safe indoors: This is fear too. We found a raccoon in our back yard and we figured that our cat must have seen or smelled him too!

    6) Bad Weather: If it snows or rains, my cat hates to go outside!

    7) Ammonia Cleaners: Never clean with ammonia inside because ammonia smells like pee and makes the animal want to pee where you used the ammonia.

    8) Dirty Litterbox: for Cats, a dirty litterbox can make them pee elsewhere.

    I would recommend you buy one or more of those boxes with plastic "turf" on top, made of plastic with holes under the turf that the dog pees through and you dump out the urine daily and rinse in out weekly (they sell these on TV for small or large dogs). With a cat, we simply got 2 more cat-boxes and placed them where he liked to pee. You might also use potty pads in these places. Once we did this, our cat eventually lost his fear of outdoors and started going back outside to go.

    But a year later, we got a second cat and then he started "marking" his territory (to leave his scent). So what we do now is: Keep an eye on him for at least an hour after he has eaten his morning meal (which we add water to) and at night we put him in a huge cage with all his comforts, then in the morning when we let him out we make sure he goes outside and pees first thing. You might have to use a crate at night. But, every time your pets goes, be sure to remove any trace of urine smell from your carpeting, because it is "calling his name". The enzyme cleaners work by speeding up the normal bio degradation process. I recommend "OUT!". It's sold at Walmart and K-mart for under $5.

    U.V.or Black Lights: To find out if there is pee in your carpeting, buy a black light. Pee will glow under U.V. light. Some types work better than others. Read the reviews on Amazon before buying so you know you are buying a good product. If you have a pet that sometimes pees indoors, a black light will be worth it's weight in gold.
