Peeing Hi, my male yorkie who is 8 months now decided that he does not need to use his pad anymore to pee. It is like he has better things to do. He was so good about going to his pad to pee on his own but now I have to remind him. Has this happened to others and if so is it just a phase? |
Wow! I don't know. The question that comes to mind is - has he been neutered? If not, that might account for it. Otherwise, there shouldn't be any reason for it and I wouldn't think it would be a phase. I've never heard of such a phase before. |
He is at the age where he could be trying to mark his territory, especially if he hasn't been neutered yet. We don't have much experience with this in our two boys because they were both neutered before they started marking around the house. But I'm sure there are others here who can give you advice on how to train him to stop doing that. Whenever ours do happen to pee somewhere that they aren't supposed to (and we catch them in the act) we tell them "no" and carry them back to their piddle pad and tell them to go there instead. Hope this helps! |
My puppy will be a year on the 28th. And he had a phase where he would poop outside all the time, Which was great. And then he went back to pooping behind the couch (his favorite spot, but not mine!) and peeing on the carpet still. And now he always uses his pee pad to pee, but won't poop outside. So I think it is a phase, just when he does do it right give him treats. Stump will pee and come find someone and bark for his treat. Good Luck! |
I "treat trained" Bentley when he was a puppy. Every time I took him outside to do his business I'd say "good boy! Want a treat?" Then I'd give him a little something for a treat. It didn't take him long to figure out that if he went outside to use the bathroom he'd get a treat. That's how I get him to come inside too. I don't have to put him on a leash to let him out because we live in the country. So if he goes around the house all I have to do is yell TREAT and he comes right in. |
I would agree he is marking if he hasn't been neutered. |
