I went to walk to my side and I found pee!! He has never peed there!! I feel he was getting back at me for yelling at him!
Last night once again he peed in the kitchen, this time I flicked his little butt- ( it totally didn't hurt him) and DH put him outside and shut the door on him… I told DH not to leave him out there bc it is cold, so I went to let him in…. this little turkey! I opened the door and called him, he just sat there and glared at me.. I said a couple more times for him to come in- he just sat there and gave me the death stare!! He didn't even blink! Then DH said just walk away he will come in.. so I did- LOL He waited to come in for like 5 mins!!! Then he came to me and wanted up on the couch and I felt bad so I gave him kisses!! HA HA! I know, I know totally not the right way of doing things, but I’m learning!! |
Awww, cute Peanut!!! He sounds so typical dog! haha. I can just see him. A lot of times they pee where your scent is, especially when housebreaking isn't fully ingrained in their brains and they are stressed. They find where your scent is and some think it is comforting or stress-relieving for to them to release themselves over it or near it as possible. If they can't pee where the scent is, they will often pee near it. Some dogs pee where you last were - such as those that pee on the rug by the front door you walked out to go to work.
Same reason they chew your shoes when you go away. They are bored, find something that smells like you, get all excited, and, being a dog, they start to lick and chew on it, something their actual person won't let them do - chew on them.
Just give him a housebreaking schedule, stick to it no matter what, taking him out very frequently at first for a good 2 or 3 weeks, watch him like a hawk or confine him when you can't and let him out after
all intense situations and he'll one day get it, if you are consistent and patient. Repetition and positive rewards are thought by most so-called training experts to be how dogs learn fastest and with less stress.
