If your dog is housetrained, but is peeing in the house, there's a behavior issue or medical issue there. You can try re-housetraining to get him back in the swing of things or take him to the vet to make sure he doesn't have something going on.
The Denver Dumb Friends League has a fantastic website with lots of good behavior information and behavior modification tips. Or you can contact an animal behaviorist. |
Hey Dione,
thanks for your reply. I have to agree with you.. I think he needs to be fixed. I don't think it's much of a peeing problem as it is his instinct (not to piss but to arm himself with it). His last owner told me he likes to mark his territority-AT TIMES- around the house so it's rather obvious.
I had a feeling someone might bring up the medical issue, and I have to concede. I hardly doubt he has any health issues, but I'm going to schedule him to the vet anyway.
Thanks for the information and hope you have a great day.
