How do I stop my six year old dog from weeing inside? Can I train her to ask to go out?

Answer 1

you can buy repellant sprays to stop her but the best way by far is to concentrate on taking her out every couple of hours in the garden and she will learn...it isnt a quick solution but nothing is...hard work and patience is the best way

Answer 2

has she suddenly started to wee indoors? Has she been ill? Has she weed indoors happily for the last 6 years and you are only now objecting to it? Please clarify if you want accurate answers.
I see that idiots are still telling people to punish and rub noses in it. When will people get a clue? Nose rubbing does nothing more than terrify the dog. The action has no equivalent wild dog action. Mother dogs in the wild do not rub puppies noses in the mess to train them to keep the den clean. It causes pain, damages the nose and only bewilders and scares her so that a dog who may be confused to ill or has a kidney infection becomes afraid of the owner she thought she could trust.
If she is being fed a high protein diet at this age, she may well have kidney damage and cannot HELP needing to wee a lot. With you hurting and punishing her for it youi are simply being cruel. Ignore the morons who rely on pain and fear as a training method and think about why she has suddenly started this. If it was myu dog, the first course of action would be to take her and a urine sample, to the vet so that he can check for kidney damage, infection, diabetes . Once these have been ruled out, try a period of retraining. However, if a clinical cause is found, it may be that a simple course of antibiotics will solve the problem.
Love and care for your furry friends, do not hurt and abuse them.

Answer 3

all dogs can be trained at any age it is more difficult for a adult dog because or repetition they get used to it and think is normal so you must retrain them....i would recomend treating them as if you were training a puppy..... if you dont have a dog kennel i suggest you buy one this will help. the size should be the a little bigger than your dog so he can have enough room to move around but not too big either.... you set him on a scheduled feeding time usually dogs need to do their business 15-25 min after they eat.....after that time i you should take them by a leash to a designated place where you would like for them to do their business. this will re train your dog and when they are in a confined space they will not do their business where they lay... therefore they will notify you when they want to go...cry, bark etc..... try that see if it works thats how i train my puppies ( also the breed of the dog) usually small dogs are harder to train then bigger dogs for some reason

Answer 4

Have you watched Its me or the dog on C4? you can get some really great tips from that programme and it's entertaining. I think the best way to stop the dog peeing inside is firstly from cleaning the areas which she uses to pee really thouroghly with disenfectant otherwise the dog will keep returning to it's usual spots. After that it is a matter of getting her into a routine, every couple of hours or more (depending how often she pees of course) take her out for a walk or let her in to the garden to do her buisness. You should never rub a dogs nose into the pee.

Answer 5

It sounds to me like she could have kidney/bladder problems, so your first port of call should/must be to your vet, 6 year old dogs who are usually clean don't generally just start weeing in the house, so a course of antibiotics may be called for, if tests come back clear and antibiotics don't work then you need to refresh her memory, ie. start from scratch like you would for a puppy, take her out at regular times and also after meals and when she wakes up.
NEVER, NEVER, EVER rub a dogs nose in it's urine or poo, how cruel is that??!!! and don't hit the poor thing either.
Good luck, I hope all works out.

A well-trained dog makes everyone happy, including his owner. Take a little time training him, and you'll never regret it; you'll always have an obedient dog by your side. Find more https://tr.im/CQgEF

By their nature, dogs are pack animals with a well-defined social order. Through basic training, you need to consistently make sure your puppy understands that you are the leader, not him. So in teaching him the basic rules, you take on the role of pack leader.

To fit into the family circle, your dog must be taught to recognize his name and such commands as come, heel, lie down and sit.

Answer 7

Answer 8

right it is what you should do: a million) you should scrub each and everything, wash the carpets with a steamcleaner, and throw away each and all of the toys he peed on. (The sent of the canines wee, retains bringing it returned to wee returned.) 2) Take the canines exterior extra oftentimes and compliment him while he wee's exterior 3) Take him for extra walks so he can wee have been the different canines's wee, he will take in extra smells and understand that it is the place he has to circulate to the bathing room -Goodluck, it may take time yet dont supply up

Answer 9

since she is an older dog go with the three month rule. use an enzyme cleaner such as natures miracle to clean where she has done her thing indoors. the first thing to remember about house training a puppy is there ability to hold themselves is limited. a rule of thumb is they can hold "it" usually 1 hour for each month of age. 2 months old = 2 hours, 3 months old = 3 hours, etc. when your puppy wakes up (morning, nap, whatever) the pup has to go, right then! take the pup out. when the pup eats or drinks, it has to go, take the pup out. after exercise (play), take the pup out. when the pup does it's thing outside praise it. a lot. tell the pup how good, how smart it is. you have to pay attention to the pups "looking for it's spot" behavior. when you see that behavior indoors, whisk the pup out. if you catch the pup in the act, simply tell it "NO!" and whisk it outside. if you find a puddle or pile after the fact, clean it up with an enzyme cleaner (pet food store) get a newspaper and hit.... yourself in the head and say "i should have been paying more attention" daytime training they get pretty fast. night time training is easier if you crate train the pup. also remember the one hour/one month rule. you will have to get up through the night to take the pup out. good luck

Answer 10

You'll have to spend a couple of days with the dog 24 hours a day. Watch where he goes and just before he's able to lift his leg, take him out. After he goes outside, positive reinforcement.

Answer 11

im not sure if this will help or not since your dog is 6yo but our dog is being trained to wee outside or to any rug by placing a rug where he wees a lot then when he wee somewhere we smack him on the butt and says "NO" and then bring him to the rug and let him smell it for 1-2min so he knows that's the place for him to wee. every day we try to move the rug going out and he learns since then to knock on the door if he wants to go wee or do other business.
if the door is close and nobody is around he only wee/poo on any rug available.
hope it helps.
