| Peeing all over new house Ok, I haven't been on in a while. We moved to a new house and our 2 1/2 yr old Chloe pees all over our new house. At first I thought it was marking territory, but it continues. I called the old owners to see if they had a dog that had accidents or anything that would cause this (seen that happen before). They were the first and only owners and just got their first dog this Christmas. My husband is BEYOND frustrated. He is threatening giving her away. I'd not allow that of course... it is my daughter's dog and would break her heart. But I respect his view and I hate it to. I am just crying over this. Any ideas? I tried re crate training and she clawed it til her feet bleed. She hasn't had to be crated since she was very young. I mean we have a crate she can hide from our youngest in... but we never shut it. oh... she's pooping too... and we took her to the vet to check health... she's The pooping I hate... but more managable on hard wood than the peeing. Again, she has NEVER done this since she was a few months old. |

| I'm definitely no expert on potty training, but my guess would be that maybe she's peeing in the house because it's a new environment to her that she has to get used to. She may have to be re-trained or "reminded" where she's supposed to go potty. Since crate training isn't seeming like the best option, I'd try doing what you'd do with a young puppy. Monitor her closely, take her out every hour or so and if she goes, give her a treat and praise praise praise. Patience is definitely a key word here. Don't give up on her! Good luck! Hopefully this helps out a little bit. |

Instead of crating her, why don't you just put her leash on and not let her out of your sit until you have her back on the right track. Same principle as crate training except you keep her tethered to your side and take her out potty and then back on the leash.
