My 1year old Boston Terrier?

Question

I have a 1 year old Boston terrier who is really the coolest dog ever.I trained him all the basics; house training, obidience and i also taught him games. But about six months on from house training him he strated peeing everywhere. He knows its wrong and often has the back door open for him. He has not been castrated and i wonder if it him trying to be an alpha male. So i ask two questions, how do i get the smell and colour of his pee out of my wool carpet and why he keeps peeing.

He hasnt been neutered

I think i will breed him and he has just stopped crating.

Answer 1

He make not be peeing at all. He may be marking territory.

If your male dog is lifting his leg and urinating here and there in your house; on walls, chairs, lamps and alike, this may not be an inappropriate elimination problem. Your dog is most probably presenting territorial marking behavior. Most intact (not altered) male dogs will not mark in the house because they see the home as their den, a place they are secure about. However, if a female comes into heat or another dog perceived as dominant in nature passes through, territorial marking may begin.
Marking can be distinguished from regular urination in that this behavior comprises a small squirt of urine rather than the flow normally released when the dog is genuinely relieving himself. This behavior is largely under the influence of testosterone in unaltered males. Following castration, some 50% of the dogs will cease presenting the marking behavior. However, the further away from the onset of puberty the operation is done, the more likely the behavior has become a habit and will continue even after the hormone level decreases. Even if the dog ceases to mark in your home, he may well continue to do so outdoors or in a veterinarian's waiting room where the scent of other male dogs stimulates the response.

The best preventative measure is to castrate the dog at around six to nine months of age. With older, intact dogs veterinarians will sometimes prescribe progestins as a way to combat the behavior. As a behaviorist, I also recommend correcting the behavior while walking outside with a swift leash check and the word "No." Dealing with it when you are present may cause the behavior to be avoided later. Cleaning up marked spots is also important so that the dog will not be compelled to over mark that spot. A solution of one part white vinegar to 4 parts water will create a solution that helps to eliminate the odor

I have also found over the years that, in some cases, an insecure dog will occasionally mark in the home, perhaps to strengthen his feeling of security. This can also be a result of seperation anxiety. In any case, a basic obedience training program taught by a qualified instructor knowledgeable in behavior modification is in order.

Answer 2

He needs to be neutered first. You need to shampoo the carpet with a good pet odor remover shampoo, they sell at wal mart.
Then I would always keep a bottle of 50% vinegar with equal water in a spray bottle to use immediatly after I clean the area when he goes again. Then once he is fixed you need to take him out at night before bed. Put him in a crate with a blanket and toy. Then when you get up in the am take him out then. Give him time but, don't let him back in right away unless he goes. This is a habit now and you have to retrain him. When he does go outside make a big, big fuss over it, and praise him and give him a treat. If he holds it. Crate him again and take him out again in a while. Do this over and over. Do not drop the ball. He will get it but it will take a while. It will be worth it in the end. I have never had success without crating when training a dog. Never train on paper unless an absolut HAVE TO because this teaches them to go in the house. But, confinement and praise and getting him out a lot while training. Getting him fixed will help a whole lot too! Also, if you have a small room, very small so he won't be tempted to go there you might get away with that. No rugs or food . Dogs usually won't go where they sleep if it's just enough room to turn around and stand up in it will do.

Answer 3

I also have a 1 year old Boston Terrier (shes actually sitting on my lap right now... Bostons are the BEST!) She pees occasionally. She is also house trained (self-house trained as a matter of fact! We kept "puppy pads" on the floor until she figured out how to let us know she needed to go out. About 6 months ago, we've never had to put another pad on the floor.) She only does it when she gets nervous about something. Like, the other day, she pooped on a carpet we have set outside under the patio. I saw it and she went running and pee'd all over the bathroom floor. I can't help you with ways to get it out... but is there perhaps anything he did "wrong" before he pee'd. Like maybe ripped up paper or something?

Answer 4

I could be he is not fixed. I use natures miracle to stains or see spot go. Are you going to breed him, otherwise you should get him fixed. Plus, is he still in a crate at all, My male scotty stayed in his crate until 2 years old because he was bad sometimes. I would crate train still. Or Does he pee outside at all, and is the amounts inside alot. He may have a problem and see a vet.

Answer 5

Try to uncover matters which are motivational for her, comparable to meals or toys, and use the ones as rewards whilst looking to educate her. You might additionally stroll her, so she might lose a few power, to support her attention on you larger. If that does not paintings, there are a few very well puppy running shoes in the market who quite recognize what they're doing, are specialists,and might,obviously, be capable to support together with her coaching. Good success!

Answer 6

He won't stop marking until he's neutered. And even then, it's no guarantee since he's already learned the habit. I use white vinegar to remove the smell, you can also purchase Natures Miracle.

Answer 7

not being neutered he is marking his territory,
check your local pet stores for stains in the carpet they have many different types of shampoos and sprays that can help with that.

Answer 8

he is marking his territory...did you have him fixed??? Its a male thing...you know how men are when it comes to something that they consider theirs.
