| revenge peeing? My sophie will be 8 months old on monday. She has me trained pretty well, and doesn't potty in the house. I try to take her out every 2-3 hours, crazy I know. If I'm not here, my mom lets her out every 3 hours. In the past few weeks, she has been peeing on her blanket in her kennel. On the days that I leave early or she is home with just my mom, it seems she is worse and her blanket smells. I always leave her out to play and be with me if she goes potty outside and when she doesn't she goes back into her kennel. I thought this might be kind of a revenge thing, since I'm not here to be with her. I have resorted back to putting her in a little kennel in hopes of getting her to stop doing this. I'm also hoping to be able to teach her to hold longer than 2 hours. Now I find when I take her out, she won't go to the bathroom. I may be going about this wrong, which is why I am asking. When she goes outside she gets so preoccupied with the wind, or leaves and I keep telling her to go potty, but sometimes it takes a very long time for her to go, around 20 minutes or more. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do, or if I am going about this wrong? When she goes potty outside I always let her visit the other dogs downstairs, kind of like a reward. I'm just not sure what to do, and I feel guilty for putting her in a smaller kennel. |

| wow, I've never heard of this in a dog - a cat yes, but not a dog. I wonder if she could have a urinary infection - especially since you talk about the odor - I would make an appt right away to go to the vet to be sure

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I don't believe in revenge peeing either. She may have an infection, has she been spayed recently? Many people withhold water thinking this will aid with training and this too can lead to infections, water should be available 24/7, so that the bladder gradually stretches, and can hold more. Also, you need to clean her blanket with an enzyme cleaner or she'll just think it's a washable pee pad. Does she spend all day in her kennel, except for potty breaks? Have you thought about putting her in a larger space with a pee pad?

| I have not ever heard of revenge peeing either.... Could be a UTI , or that she needs to go out more often. I use potty pads which are life savors. Could she be peeing in her sleep?

| I don't have a solution for this but I do believe there is such a thing as revenge peeing. My 7 year old Dachsie started peeing on the floor shortly after we took in our little Yorkie almost 4 years ago. When she passed last month, he did not stop. Now that we adopted our 5 month old YorkiePoo and we are working on potty training him, the Dachsie basically does not get much chance to be the one that pees on the floor (except today that is). We feel he is jealous about losing some of the attention but he still gets a lot. I wish you all the best in trying to correct this issue. They certainly have minds of their own and they know that they are the real bosses. |

I hate for anyone to think that their dog is getting revenge on them; this will not lead to proper training, and could lead to aggressive behavior from the owner.

| Are marking and huge piddle spots the same thing? That is an honest question because we never had that problem before we brought Casey home. The two of them both wandered around the back yard together doing a little piddle here and a little piddle there. Peanut is still a very good boy overall. We figure it is just his way of reminding us that he is not happy having a brother or sister. It is not often that he does it and we still cuddle him on our laps and talk to him and scritch him. I wish that when he does piddle in the house, he would use Teddy's pee pad instead but that is okay. All of our floors are laminate so we just wipe it up then spray it with the hardwood floor special odor eliminator we got at Petsmart. Peanut finally started playing with Teddy today after a little over a week so we know that he is warming up to his little brother. |

| I suppose revenge peeing is possible (although some trainers don's believe that revenge is a dog emotion). Assuming all medical problems have been ruled out, I would look at stress/fear urination, excitement urination, marking and most of all separation anxiety first.

| No, I only take water away at around maybe 8 at night, she always has access to it. She was spayed about 2 months ago, this has started about 3 weeks ago. It coincides with me going back to school. She is not left in her kennel, as I would find that cruel. My rule is as long as she goes potty outside she can play and be out with me. If she doesn't, I think it kind of encourages her to go in the house. I have been crating her in her smaller kennel, and she is doing great actually now. I think her wire kennel was just too large for her and left her too much room. I'm hoping that I can transition her soon back into it. I'm hoping that she is learning that when I am gone, that I will be back. Someone brought up separation anxiety, and I wonder about that now. She is not left alone, but she spends about 85% of her time with just me. Maybe that was how she was dealing with that. |

| I believe in revenge peeing and I have to afigure a way to stop my puppy from doing it. After I yell at him for doing osmething wrong, he'll walk a couple steps away and look at me while peeing two drips on the floor. Then he'll walk away as if nothing happened. He also does this when I'm gone too long. ]= |
