You've gotten some great advice here, I'm sorry you didn't good advice from the beginning. Punishing for housebreaking accidents might work temporarily, but there's always a side effect to punishment. I do think that two things may be going on here, submissive peeing with marking also. An unneutered dog will mark, it’s genetic. I agree with the others, you need to build his confidence up and his trust level of you. The dog isn't peeing on the walls because it's the same color, dogs aren't very moved by colors, but by smells. Male dogs typically mark and some pee on vertical surfaces, and some breeders say to place a large gallon bottle in the middle of the pee pad to encourage them to pee there. Joey was neutered and only marks outside. |
