I JUST GOT A SHITZU HE'S 8MO. old AND HE WILL NOT STOP PEEING ON EVERYTHING I ALREADY TRIED EVERYTHING?????

Answer 1

if you tried EVERYTHING why did you come here looking for a solution? just kick him out and yell at him whenever he does that.

Answer 2

Welcome to the joys of puppy hood...and the joys of the breed lol. If you had tried 'everything' as you say surely something would have worked by now.

Crate train him...so that when you are not around he is not able to go all over the house. Make sure the crate is an appropriate size for him, as if it is to roomy he may still be able to go on one side of the crate, and sleep on the other.

When you are home, loop a 6ft leash thru your belt loop and actually make yourself watch him 24/7. He has no right to be free if he can not be trusted. Take him outside several times an hour, and praise/reward everything he does potty wise. Make a big deal out of it. You will find that when you are constantly attatched to him, and like wise, your probably going to pick up on his signs more quickly and be able to prevent the accident.

Neutering him would probably be another good thing to look into, he is plenty old enough at this age so if he is not already neutered give your vet a call.

And last but not least, invest in some Natures Miracle (PetSmart has it most of the time) as if he can still smell it he is still going to think about doing so in the house. Clean clean clean!!

Answer 3

Is he a male? Is he fixed? If he is not fixed, that's your problem. He want's to "mark" everything.
If he is fixed then I would say he was paper trained by the previous owner and that's why he is peeing on everything.
It will take some patience to re-train him, but it can be done.
The key is supervision. Whenever your puppy is not under your direct supervision, he should be crated. That doesn’t mean your puppy should spend most of his time in the crate. He should be spending as much time as possible interacting with you.
Your puppy should be spending the night in the crate. The
smaller the dog, the longer it takes for him to develop control.
Some puppys can hold their bladder overnight, others can't.
He needs to go out after eating, sleeping, playing and many times inbetween.
When you catch your puppy in the act, distract him with a neutral, not angry, sound, and scoop him outside. If you don’t catch him, don’t do anything. Just clean it up. Always use an enzyme cleaner or your dog will still be able to smell it, and be drawn back to the same spot.
Your dog doesn’t understand that he should not go here.
Always take your puppy out on leash, to the same spot.
If he goes, praise and reward him with a treat. If he doesn’t go in 5-10 minutes, take him back inside and put him in his crate. Try again in about 20 minutes.
Hope this will help you out, good luck and ...... patience !!!
Don't give up !!!!

Answer 4

Did you have the urine tested?(he could have an infection) Is he neutered? I have had dogs pee on everything and stop the day I had them neutered. Typically it takes 30 days for the hormones to get out of their systems but in my experience it still helps right away. The other thing is you could try a belly band to help train. It is a band that velcros around the dog's waist and when he goes to pee...he pees in his belly band. That is not near so much fun and often times works wonders.

Answer 5

Chihuahua lady is right that you need to neuter early on, only if you do not plan on breeding. but you will need to really keep an eye on him and maybe restrict him to certain areas until he can figure it out. Giving him pee pads in that certain area wouldn;t be a bad idea in case you miss a time and then slowly lead the pee pad outside so that he understands he's to do his job outside. Another thing is when you catch him peeing on something in the house you should spray him with a "little" water and tell him no then immediately take him outside and leave him there for awhile. Be sure to really praise him when he does his job outside. It takes some time and a lot of effort but that's a puppy for you! Good Luck

Answer 6

We just got 2 puppies and I made my son watch a puppy video with me.(one of the pups are his) In this video it tells you that if your puppy or dog is going to the bathroom in the house clean it up with a rag and take the rag and dog outside and put it were you want the dog to go. Make sure the puppy has the scent from the rag when you set it down. Then give him (or her) a treat and praise him (or her) everytime it does go to the bathroom outside. Good Luck

Answer 7

He could have a urinary infection. If he is healthy. It is going to take a bunch of your time. But it is well worth it.

Simply, take him out every couple of hours. Whether he goes or not. When he does go outside give him a treat and tell him what a good boy he was. Don't scold him if he doesn't go. If he goes in the house take him out immediately. This has worked great for us. Try it.

Answer 8

Crating a dog often works best. But they MUST be taken outside frequently. For dogs that aren't crated, pee pads (available in the pet section of WallMart) work well. Yelling doesn't work! When the dog does pee outside give him/her lots of praise.

Answer 9

Have you tried a schedule for outside time to do do his thang? Every time you see him walking around in circles get him outside quick, and reward him when he does his thang! And soon you will see him going to the door !!! If you tried this then take him to a certified obedience class to train by a pro. sorry but only other way is the crate.

Answer 10

Quick, the Dog Whisperer to the rescue.

Answer 11

Just chill. It's probably a nervous habit if you're walking him enough. It's called submissive peeing - as in "I'm just a baby - no threat - please don't hurt me."

Once he feels more comfortable he'll improve. Yelling and punishing will only make it worse though. He needs to feel secure.
