How to keep dogs from peeing inside the home...?

Question

We take them outside often but an hour or two later they pee inside. I know they mark territory but what product can we use to lure them away?

Answer 1

I am a dog trainer and the following information has worked successfully with thousands of my clients.

There are certain times a dog has to potty, and you don’t have to
ask the dog or wonder if your dog needs to go outside. When you are near one of the following times, just take them outdoors. If you wait and the dog has an accident inside the house or crate,it is more likely that you did something amiss and not the dog. So watch for these times:

When the dog first comes out of the crate

When the dog first wakes up from night or a nap

When the dog has finished eating

When the dog has taken a long drink of water

When the dog is in the middle of playing, running around the
house like a crazy dog. They will usually suddenly stop and
just start eliminating. So watch for when your dog starts
acting like this and take the dog outside. They will
definitely eliminate when they are racing around, it’s just a
matter of when. Don't wait for your dog to get into
trouble - get up and get them out!

Watch your dog’s body language. If you see them start to act
somewhat wild when just the moment before they were quiet, then you can safely assume it’s because they have to eliminate. Take them outdoors. If you see them sniffing around the carpet,
especially if they seem to be pushing their nose deeper into the
carpet, it’s likely they have to eliminate. Take them outdoors.
If they start to spin, turn, or squat – take them outdoors
because they definitely have to eliminate. Be observant and get
to know your dog’s specific body language. They usually project
that they are going to eliminate – you just need learn how to see
it in your dog.

If you come into the room and you see a puddle or pile, DO NOT
yell at the dog or rub their nose in it. That doesn’t work and dog
behaviorists have learned that was a bad idea. If you yell at the dog, you will merely frighten the dog into hiding to eliminate in the house – it will NOT frighten the dog into stopping.

How often does the dog have to go outdoors? Rule of thumb is
dog’s age in months plus one. So if your dog is 8 weeks old they
should be able to go 3 hours in between trips outdoors.
HOWEVER, this is only for the nighttime hours. Their
metabolism runs slower during the night so they don’t have to
potty so often. During the day light hours, their metabolism runs
faster so they may have to potty more frequently. Get to know
your dog’s metabolic schedule by setting consistent outdoor
breaks.

Take them out on leash to the spot you want them to eliminate.
Yes, you need to take them out on leash and you need to stay with them. There is a reason. First, you need to take them out on leash so that they learn how to eliminate BEFORE getting
distracted by playing. Second, you need to SEE them eliminate outdoors before letting them back in. And, third, you need to stay right by them because you need to reward them within 3 seconds of them eliminating. If you wait to reward them when they come back inside, you are merely rewarding them for coming in and not for pottying.

Take them on leash to their elimination spot, and stay there no
longer than 5 minutes. If they haven’t eliminated in those 5
minutes, bring them back into the house and put them in their
crate for 10 minutes. (This process is a big deal and cannot be
sidestepped.) They need to go back into their crate (or tethered to you) so they don’t wander off and eliminate some place in the house. Be sure to take them back out in 10 minutes – don’t get lazy and leave them in the crate or tethered to you for 60 minutes because they’ll then have an accident. 10 minutes and take them back out. Give it another 5 minutes outdoors and if they eliminate, give them praise and a treat (this is also not to be sidestepped), then you can let them off the leash to play. However, if they did not eliminate the second time either, then take them back inside and crate again. Keep repeating this process until the dog eliminates and you can reward.

When you first start teaching the dog don’t bother to say “go
potty” before the dog eliminates. They have no idea what you are
saying … they don’t understand our language or words. You first need to match our language/words to the action in order for them to understand. To teach the dog what the words “go potty” mean, say the words DURING the action for at least two weeks, so that down the line they will understand what that noise pattern means and they will understand what you asking of them. It takes a dog approximately 60 repetitions of an exercise before they start to understand what we are asking of them. So, for the first few weeks say the words while they are eliminating … then praise them when they finish and give them a reward.

Need a way for the dog to communicate they have to go
outdoors? Hang a bell on the door at floor level and ring it every
time you take the dog out to potty. Ring the bell and immediately
open the door and take out the dog. After a couple of weeks the
dog will most likely start to understand and will start to bump
the bell with his/her nose. During those first few weeks, if the
dog bumps the bell just out of curiosity, get that door open and
take him outside! You need to let him/her know that bumping the
bell works! You can find bells or windchimes at craft stores, a toy store/department or an office supply store.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU7GU

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Answer 3

my dogs took time. what we did was if they did pee inside show them what they did and say no in a firm voice. never beat up the dog or scream at them or they will continue. make sure every time they come in that they just went to the toilet before they came in. encouragement works too, including treats. good luck!

Answer 4

they need to go out a lot...every 30 minutes for a pup. it also depends on their age. a male will pee in the house before a female will. kennel train them. its the best. get a kennel large enough for him/her to move around in, but not too big for them to sit "away" from their own poop. I have found after the age of about 2 years old, a dog starts to settle down and behave normally with half-*** training :)

Answer 5

Stop Dogs Peeing Indoors

Answer 6

I wish that I had an answer for You. We have a Beagle, on medication for heart problems, who has trouble, apparently. But He is very sneaky about it. Was really hoping that Someone had an answer. By the way We have tried the nose thing, and putting Him outside. They have this spray, I forget the name, but it smelled just as bad.

Good Luck, still hoping for a great solution, for us both.......

Answer 7

Depending on how old they are, they may need to be taken out every hour on the hour. I read the best way to housetrain your puppy is to leave a rolled up newspaper on the table and everytime he has an accident pick up the newspaper and hit yourself over the head with it repeatedly saying "I should have been watching my puppy". Watch, watch watch! Do not leave them to their own devices.

Answer 8

you have to catch them in the act of peeing inside and scold them and drag them outside. when you take them outside and they pee, then praise them.

Answer 9

my bulldog was the same and it pised the crap out of me. i put down newspaper for him to go on. then i gradually moved it closer to the door til it was finally out in the yard. i took the paper away and he now goes to the yard to pee out of habit. this stuff works.

Answer 10

I've learned that if you have 2 males, they will continue to mark each others territory. if you have only one, take him out a lot to get use to doing it outside

Answer 11

pee on your dog house and see how they like it.
