Help Bell started peeing in the house!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

What should I do??

Bell who is now 2 yrs old is peeing in the house. I thought I had it down, she would ring the bell near the door and I would let her out on the deck. Now she just pees!! Its a little cooler here now in the winter and I don't leave the door open as much, but she always rang the bell, Now she just squats, Even right in front of me.. She knows shes doing wrong, beacuse right after I'll see her and say "Bell what did you do" and she runs and hides.

Any Suggestions!

I think no matter how mature our little one's get they still make mistakes.
Has there been a sudden change in your house? Does Bell feel ok? Maybe have a bladder infection or something? Maybe she is like our Annabelle, whom hates going outside when it's cold or wet? Any change in her diet by chance??

These babies of ours keep us guessing, but it could be a numerous lists of things to check off I think.

don't you just wish they could talk to tell us why they do what they do??

Oh, it would be so much easier!

Maybe put some pee pads inside so she can go inside so she won't be so cold. Just a suggestion, that is what a lot of people have said on here in earlier cases.

Actually Bell loves to be outside, I think shes just being lazy!! I never really hit her but she acts so nervous when I yell at her after shes been bad. Nothing has really changed around here! I was just thinking how some children don't want to stop what they are doing and sometimes have accidents, Well its kind of like that, because when Bell pees, its like flood waters, She must to holding it a long time, But tonight we were all home its not like she had to hold it!! Who knows! Do you think I need to start crating her! I know she pees in the house sometimes when were are not home, beacuse the carpet is stained but I never catch her! Oh what to do!!

PS she won't go on a wee wee pad, actually goes around them!

If she keeps having accidents . Then I would creat her to get her back on track.
first remove all the pee stains in your carpet and on any hardwood floors. If she smells this it could also be contributing to acciedents.
Then creat her and when you let her out pick her up and let her outside.
I say do this for a month . Then she should be back to normal. were you can trust her again. Good luck

It may be worth ckecking that she doesn't have a urine infection? Sounds as if it's started all of a sudden? Also the door no longer being open may be a lot to do with it - not that I'm suggesting you leave it open and the whole family be cold! But it may have confused her? Good luck!

If she hasn't had any medication (esp. steroids?) and is healthy acting, it is probably behavioral. Many good suggestions already. Try scenting the wee pad with the urine when she pees on floor and take her to it throughout the day, or take her outside 3-4 x per day without her asking. This has worked a lot with Luca Dean after he has a string of accidents. And definitely get some scent eliminator (has 'natural enzymes' or something like that in the ingredient list). Pee Pee is a good one; it's manufactured by the wee pad people.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I will try a few of them and I'll let you know how we do.

My
Chewy (6 yrs) has started doing the same thing. She is going in our bedroom, on the rug.

I usually find it after the fact, so I don't say anything. I just clean it up and put a throw rug on top of it. Now our bedroom is full of throw rugs!! lol...Not funny really. I am going to try some of those odor eliminators. Good luck to us!

troubletb · 02-02-2005, 03:32 PM

Well Bell isn't peeing in front of me anymore, But I'm not sure about going on the rug!! I walked around the whole room with just my socks and couldn't find any wet spots. My house doesn't smell, So I want to say shes not, But I'm not sure. Can't wait to pull up the rug in the family room and put down wood floors.. then if she is still peeing at least I'll find it!!(only thing is it will probably ruin the floor) OH what to do!!

Thanks for the help, Your all so wonderful!
Thanks again

I read in one of my Yorkie books on training that if you yell or sound angry they don't know that it's for the peeing but think that their human just doesn't like to see them do it and that's why they will go hide behind furniture, etc. to do their "dirty deed"! I know you must be frustrated .... good luck!
