solution for pee dribbling..? 1 Attachment(s) Hello, Choco and I have moved to Boston, and US Airways made everything pretty easy. I got the health certificate for domestic travel just in case, but no one asked me to show the document. Choco has been doing fairly well with pad training at his new home after spending one month at my boyfriend's place. He's about 90% there. In fact, he used to be really good with potty training. However, I left him alone for 4 hours yesterday for the first time, and after I got home, he pooped and peed right next to me. :mad: Is this because he was mad at me? I got the black light and investigated the carpet pretty thoroughly to eliminate any odor or stain, and I realized that he dribbled drops of pee here and there. Whenever I catch him peeing, I wipe his bottom with tissue, but sometimes he runs around or lays down on the carpet before I catch him. Is there any good solution for preventing him from dribbling after peeing? I think it would really help him stay on the pad all the time. Thank you for all your kind support and advice! :) |
I am going to venture to say no that there is no way to physically keep a male dog that goes inside from dribbling. My last male was paper trained. I kept two step in littler boxes in my laundry room where i have wooden floors. 100% of the time that he used them he would leave dribble spots on the floor in front of the box which I was constantly wiping up. This drove me me crazy. I wound up getting a a roll of shelf liner, the heavy duty rubber type, and put that in the area he would step on when exiting the box, the drips were still there and daily I would wipe it up with a damp paper towel, every few days or so I would take the mat up and scrub it in my laundry tub. I kept a few mats so I could rotate while one dried. It's the nature of the male, when they go outside they leave most of the dribble there but inside unless you are there to wipe after him I don't know how you can avoid it. I am not sure where you have your piddle pad, but if you can put it in non carpeted area against a wall and preferably in a corner, this way you can put something down on the area he exits. I had a friend that babysat a small male chi that went on papers and she complained of the same thing. This problem was one of the reasons I got a female this time. |
by the way your little guy is really a cutie, how old is he. |
DBlain, Thank you for your reply! He's 5 months old and such a sweetheart. :) I should think of some creative ways to help him wipe off on his own somehow... ;) |
Also, just to clarify... when I meant by "dribbling," he doesn't walk around while peeing.. Although he finishes his business on the pad completely, some get onto his hair and few drops get on the floor.. At the moment, I have pads in my living room and bathroom, as Choco has just moved to my place. I aim to eventually get rid of the pads in the living room once he gets used to the new home. |
Both my mails dribble. We have the large holder for the pee pads so most of the dribble falls onto that but I still want to get another mat for under that also. THey leave dribble on the hard wood right around the pee pad. i dont think there is really anyway to stop this... However I just mop in the mornings and the nights and wipe up any dribble I see during the day. |

Do you have a photo of the litter box you are using? |
Don't have a male so can't help with your problem. Just wanted to add as already stated above....it's hard to get rid of a pee pad area once they are used to going there. I had two for Gracie when she was a puppy. When I thought she was old enough to use just one I just got rid of the one in the bedroom. Well, she kept going on the rug where it used to be! I had to get it out again and slowly move it a couple of inches every couple of days until I finally got it to where the other pee pad was. It was a slow process. Puppies do need more than one pee pad place but just remember it is going to be a process getting rid of it once he is trained to go there. He is such a little darling guy! So cute! |

Thank you for all your advice! I just got rid of the pads in the living room, sprayed the carpet with a deodorizer, and covered them with boxes. At my boyfriend's place where I staid with Choco for a month, we had two spots and eventually got rid of one by blocking the spot with boxes until he went straight to the designated spot. :) DBlain, thank you for your kind note! Where did you get the litter box? |
we have a pee pee pad on a box so that when he steps off the box, all the drops normally fall off then. also, what i found to help is keeping the hair down there as short as possible as this reduces the amount of pee that can drip |
this is so frustrating it looks like the one I have is no longer being sold, the sites that still had a picture of it said it was no longer available. I will post the link anyway, also I found something else that is cheap and looks like it might work. Another thought is buy a larger Rubermaid type storage box, like the sweater ones that go under you bed that are not to high on the sides, get someone you know that is handy with a saw to cut down one of the sides like you see in the picture, that might be a cheap alternateve to the box I have. maybe some of the other posters can post a picture of the box they use.

I also got the black light and was shocked but I later learned all those spots are not just urine they can be other spilled liquids as well. |
DBlain, thank you so much for sharing photos! I will try to find an alternative solution similar to what you have suggested. :) Buster Brown, thanks for your note! Now, I can give more credits to Choco for his good behavior! ;) |
