 Peeing in house
I have 3 yorkies...11 yr, 2 yr and 10 mos. My 2 yr was and now isn't house broken (pees in house when I'm not looking..or when he is left alone for a short while). My 11 yr and 10 mos are both house broken and do not pee inside. All pets are fixed. 11 yr is female, 2 yr is male, 10 mos is female. All dogs are 'crate trained'.
Background. Purchased my 2 yr old as a puppy. He was house broken for about 3 weeks right at about a year old. Then we purchased our last one (now she is 10 mos). Shortly after adopting the puppy (the now 10 mos old), our 2 year old started peeing inside all the time. It's driving me nuts. It's like he is peeing inside to mark his territory. Like I said the 2 year old is crate trained (he will not pee in his crate) but if I don't watch him ALL the time...he will leave a mess.
Ex: took him outside...he peed 2x and let him back in the house. Then I took a shower. After the shower... I had a nice present for me at the bathroom door...not 20 mins after I left him out. This is typical. If I'm in the house...but not visible..I can surely expect an accident from him.
I've tried everything.... take him outside and reward with treats. Rub his face at the mess and spank on but with newspaper and place him outside. I'm at my wits end.
Somebody PLEASE help! My wife and I are going nuts. |
