we got a new dog but she goes every where what do i do?

Question

she pees everywhere

Answer 1

Take your dog to the vet, make sure that it's not a Urinary Tract Infection.

When getting a new dog it's always a good idea to confine them to a safe area using baby gates, until the dog knows where it's appropriate to 'go'. I would also suggest taking it out often until you both figure out the routine.

When you and your dog are both on schedule you can start taking the gates down, but if it goes back to the same behaviour, put your dog back into the same area until she figures it out. It's important to get the smell out too, use an enzyme remover from a pet supply store, hopefully deterring her from going there again.

You might also consider crate training.

Answer 2

well, how old is the new baby? If she's a baby that is exactly what she's going to do, she isn't house trained yet. That's your job, not hers. Go to a pet store and get yourself some puppy training pads, they work great. They are absorbent, like a flat diaper, and they are treated so that they have a scent that attracts the dogs to use them to pee on. Keep her in a small area - bathroom, maybe kitchen - don't give her free run of the house. As she begins to hold her bladder, and figure out that the whole place isn't her toilet, then give her more room to roam. Kennel training is best, but even so, a dog can't hold it's bladder for more than a few hours until it's about 8 mos old, so you have to let her out of the kennel and take her outside to do her business often.

Okay, now if this is an adult dog, she's not housetrained, and she's probably scared or nervous regarding her new surroundings. But, that's no excuse for letting her pee everywhere. Pretty much, follow the advice above, and give much praise and love when she potties outside.

Answer 3

First and foremost take it out regularly where it can do it and praise it when it does. Let it know it has done well.

Follow the food in, s**t out principle. Feed then walk.

When it looks like it might be going to do it where you do not want it to, say something to stop it and if it does stop praise it and take it outside. If it does it outside praise it again.

It is not easy and takes time.

Please remember though that if your dog does not come back to you until you have called it repeatedly and you then give it a good telling off, all it learns is it gets told off for coming back! So - dont tell the dog off if there is a break between what it has done and you finding out as it will only confuse it. Use reinforcing praise when it does right.

It is also good to use a deep voice when telling a dog off and a high even squeeky voice when praising it.

i've just recently got a new puppy too.. he's almost 12 weeks old.. and we've had him for 6 weeks.. :) and he's still not comptley trained.. what i've been doing since i've started is.. trying to remember to take him out every few hours. and try and keep my eye on him and when he looks like he's looking for a spot to pee i try and get him outside as quick as i can..
now most of the time he's pretty good.. and he only makes accidents when my bf and i aren't paying enough attention to him.. :) or dont' wait for him to finish up completly
now he makes it though the night so were not waking up with puppy mess every morning

oh yeah and when he does go outside i'm always cheering him on about what a good dog he is and give him a dog treat :)

Answer 5

I had a few dogs myself to train. The last one was a Yorkie and she was tough. They say you are supposed to put newspaper down by your door and if the dog goes someplace else you just put their nose to it, not in it, and say NO! and bring them to the newspaper. When you clean up the pee put some on the newspaper too. Now if the dog goes and you don't see her do it, clean it up and just hold the paper towel to her nose and say NO... you go out to potty. Then bring her to the newspaper.
All the while you're doing this, you want to bring them outside a lot to go until they get the hang of it, but if you at least get them to start with the newspaper by the door that's a big step. Eventually, they will go to the door and you can say do you want to go out? in an excited voice. When they do go, make a big deal of it. When you have to run to the store you should put them in a crate until you get back. It does work, but it takes time and patience.

Answer 6

I agree with most comments made about taking your dog out OFTEN as well as catching them in the act and taking them outside during the act. I also want to add what we did. We attached a bell to our back door and everytime we took him out to pee we would ring the bell with his paw and take him out to go to the bathroom. He now hits the bell with his paw when he needs to go to the bathroom (annoying sometimes, but better than going on the carpet.)

Answer 7

Dogs have to be trained just like kids do. They are not born knowing where the right place to go potty is. Get a crate and a book.

Answer 8

when i got my puppy he did the same thing every time you see her try to pee take her outside and show her where it is OK to pee! after a while she'll get used to it!

Answer 9

ok if u were the 1 to spend the most time w/ it , that is y she follows u. i know my dog does the same thing . if you have a puppy just try to take it out regularly

Answer 10

try to train the puppy in a small section of the house first and gradually give the puppy mor erooms as it learns to go pottty outside.
