Eddie peed on a cousin's couch! Eddie has been 100 percent housetrained since he was 9 months. He's now 2 1/2. My wife has tried to blame an accident here and there on him, but I'm certain those were Jack's. Well, tonight she had him at her cousin's house and she caught him peeing on the couch! I'm shocked and disappointed. That's the same cousin who owns the chihuahua that Eddie grew up with, and he hasn't seen her in a long time. Also, the 4-year-old chihuahua is not housebroken, and I'm sure there's odor over there. Has anyone else had that problem? Fine at home, a marker elsewhere? |
lol I have the exact opposite problem!! Lillian refuses to pee anywhere but home or our backyard. I have yet to see her have and accident at my grandparents house:confused: oh btw I love the pictures of Jack and Eddie in the snow!! so adorable!! |
Abbie is housebroken at home and at my parents' house but we took her and Max to a friend's cottage last summer for a weekend and Abbie kept peeing in the house. Max had on his belly band so we knew it wasn't him (he's not fully housebroken and he's 3 years old :eek:). We found out later that a pug had peed all over this house in the past so apparently Abbie smelled all of that and thought that she was outside. We didn't think it was her at first because she NEVER goes to the bathroom in the house but we caught her in the act before the weekend ended. |
Thanks for the comments. Looks like I'm not alone! I just don't know how to train him not to do it. He seldom goes to other people's houses! |
Oh, Eddie! Well, dad - maybe 'cause he was in a strange house where the chi is marking? Or, sometimes, I think just if anything is different in their world. My Abbie has been 99.99% ;) papertrained since around 10months; but, if someone new comes into the house, I'm likely to find an accident in the hall :( . Very disapointing. This Summer should be just a blast when my sisters come. One is bringing at least one dog and two ferrets! lol |
Oh my, little Eddie, what have you done? :rolleyes: Belly bands work miracles when visiting other peoples houses! This way you can relax and know he wont be able to pee on anyone's sofa. Good luck! |
I'm afraid what Eddie did isn't uncommon at all. Dogs don't always generalize well. Eddie has learned not to pee on the sofa at home but, in his mind, he's not sure that applies to the sofa at another house (especially one that has an odor on it that is just begging to be covered over!). Really, all we can do is watch them with eagle eyes when they visit someplace different. Or, use belly bands as was suggested. Are you and Eddie still taking classes? How is that going? |
Argh! I caught Sadie doing it in the house this weekend. It was raining all weekend so we didn't go outside much which is usually ok because she is pad trained too. But I caught her peeing in the floor TWICE!! I wonder what's up? |

FirstYorkie, we had to withdraw from Agility 2 in October because Eddie came up limping while playing with a neighborhood pup. Anti-inflammatories took care of the problem within days, but we decided to pull him out of agility until he's rechecked next month. The vet suspects a cranial cruciate injury, which is normally something for bigger, older dogs. Unfortunately, if that's the case, it will progressively get worse unless he has surgery. I'm hoping the vet's wrong this time. |

My Chachi never marks at home. He does mark where he smells a male dog. Maybe Eddie is the same. I got him some bellybands to put on him when I go anywhere where there are other male dogs. So far it has just been Petsmart or the Vets. He would realy embarress me when He would mark at Petsmart. One time he ruined a rug the had on a low display by marking on it. I showed one of the workers and she looked mad at me. |
lexi does the same thing actually on new years eve, i took my parents to my b/f's sisters house to celebrate with lexi and let me tell you, i made sure i walked her before we went into the house. so we went into the house, i put the wee pad down, not 5 minutes later lexi pooped on their floor, thank god my b/f saw it and no one else, he just picked it up so quickly and told me.. i was mortified.. i asked he not to tell anyone... |
My yorkie is 8, and has been house broken since she was a puppy, but when she was about 5 years old I caught her peeing on my mothers couch! I was the same way, shocked and disapointed! I find that she acts this way when she is "mad" at me. I dont understnad why the couch. I fussed and made her watch me clean it up while I gave her Ugly eyes. It was a one time thing and she never did it again? So maybe this will pass?? Good luck! |
Well I have an embarassing story, about my 1st yorkie Max. I was at my friends house and had Max with me and her Aunt was visiting and Max went right up to her lifted his leg and peed all down her trouser leg!! OMG I was only,about 17 years old and I was mortified!! Thankfully Alfie and Lottie are 100% housetrained and have never embarassed me yet!!:aimeeyork |
OY!:eek: Blame it on the other dog. Eddie knows better than that and I'm sure it was just a mistake...or the typical male marking whatever is near by to let others know he was there. |

I have the same experience with chelsea at my in-law house. I can't believe she peed at his leather sofa and floor. She is trained at home but for some reasons she will make mistake in that house. My in law has a chow-2 that mostly outdoor. Probably female teritorial ? or the leather is just so tempting. Wierd! |
Rocky isn't 100% trained, even though w/ peeing he's like 98%. When we take him somewhere with other dogs though, he seems to pee wherever he pleases. I think there was only one time he was at petsmart and didn't pee! That's cuz I was holding him though :p |
Put either a think poise pad or a light days pad in the belly band to hold the urine and not soil the band. For the girls, I'd just put a doggie diaper on her. (they have an opening for the tail....or...um, *nub* :p ) |
Eddie's just being dominate. We all know he's man about town - he's proving it to ya! As much as we know the reason why they do these things it doesn't stop us cursing the air blue when it happens! The smell of other dog pee does it to Dougal every time. PS our fingers and paws are crossed for Eddie's vet check next month too! We're all sure the vet was just playing it safe. |
Maybe he thought the couch was ugly....lol or maybe he didnt like the cousin. I'm sure he had a reason....lol lol |
There was no way Eddie would have done that, he is Perfect!!! They must have seen a mirage... no really, I am sorry that happen to you, how embarrasing..:eek: |

I believe this also. Every house every room every piece of furniture is an entirely different place to them. I also wonder if this is why yorkies and many small breeds are difficult to house break, since they are so small every room is a different world to them. |
Hey, Mike! This should make you feel better ..... Toto peed on a stranger's couch!!!! :) My friend wanted me to meet a lady that she knew who had 7 Yorkies so we went to visit. Like a lot of people do, she seated us in her "formal" living room [gorgeous home BTW]. There were little Yorkies running all over the place and Toto [being the little anti-social that she is], was observing all of the action from the safety of my lap. I was so mesmerized by all the different little personalities that I didn't even notice that Toto slid off my lap and was glued to the side of my leg until I felt this really warm sensation! Yep! She peed a river leaving the whole leg of my pants and this lady's beautiful sofa soaked!! :eek: I have never been so embarrassed in my entire life. The lady just laughed ... she said "You gotta know that's the first time that sofa has been peed on .... don't give it a second thought!" It didn't help my feelings any and she wouldn't let me clean it up! I did grab a wee wee pad from Toto's bag and soaked it up as best I could. I have never met anyone so gracious and I will never get over that the longest day I live!! ;) |
