My dog is about 5 yrs old. He was a good house trained dog until we moved. Since we moved he has peed on 2 certain chairs...Now its gotten to the point he pees on EVERYTHING, The filing cabinet, the washing machine, the recliner, the game chair, the walls. I have a 9 month old that is crawling and I dont want her to get into his pee pee. Any ideas on how to stop him? No, Rubbing his nose in it doesnt work!!

Yes, He is fixed and thats why I dont understand why he is doing this. Its been 4 months since he started, And Our other dog was pregnant when we moved and we thought that was it, but she has had the pups and they are all gone, so its just two of them again. I have asked the vet and he didnt say anything about it being medical

He is in a new location and is marking everything. Reacquaint him with the crate and put him back on a house breaking regiment. Once he is reacquainted with house breaking leave the crate door open.

Don't rub your dog's nose in the pee. He doesn't understand what you mean by doing that. They smell urine and dog do because that's how they get information on the dogs that left their scents. They can tell the sex and general health of the dogs that peed or left their droppings.
If your dog is suddenly urinating everywhere, he might have a urinary tract or bladder infection. And worse than that, and I hope it isn't so, your dog may have developed diabetes. Make an appointment with a vet as soon as possible. You will probably be asked to capture a urine sample. If you can't get it to the vet within 20 minutes or less, put it in the refrigerator until you can make the trip to the vet. If it shows a high glucose reading, the vet will want to see the dog. You will have to leave it for the day so they can run a series of blood tests. They will feed the dog while it's with them and they will test the blood and by the end of the day they will know how much insulin your dog will need and they will instruct you on the care and maintainence of such a dog.
I have a shepherd who is diabetic. As a result of this disease, she has lost 90% of her sight. She is slow to heal and it can affect the liver and kidney functions if I don't take her condition seriously. Any kind of stress can cause the sugar levels to go up. When her sugar levels go up, she cannot hold her urine and she drinks as if she can't satisfy her thirst. The diabetes is managed through diet. She eats Purina Fit'n'Trim in measured amounts and nothing else in between. I inject her with insulin twice a day.
I have been told by many people that no dog is worth the trouble in keeping it alive. I love my dog and she knows it. Even though I do my best to care for her, the disease might worsen through no fault of my own. She's an old dog and is in the last days of her life, but as long as she pushes herself along, I will take care of her.

probable Corgi/German Sheppard blend. I see extra German Sheppard than Corgi. countless factors: - the two Pembroke and Cardigan Corgis might nicely be born with tails. Pems are docked. The ear-set and head shape are incorrect for a Cardigan yet extra probably for a Pembroke - a style of motives might reason the ears to stay down, between them damaging weight loss software while the doggy substitute into youthful. Many a Corgi ear is taped to stand up even if it should be executed during the 1st 6 months or so. - German Sheppards could have the dwarf gene which motives the quick legs - the tail feels like a German Sheppard i would not difficulty approximately what the blend is. call him a Corgi/German Sheppard blend and only love him.

Could be the dog is jealous of the baby. First the female had puppies, well they left....He's getting tired of waiting for the human baby to leave.
Bump his butt into the yard; a male dog that big doesn't need to be loose in the house with a small, crawling baby, even if he wasn't peeing on everything. ...and especially if this is a jealousy thing. He could turn on that baby at any time...

Is he neutered? Sounds like you have an unneutered male who is marking his territory. This is not uncommon when the male is moved to a new location. You can try having him neutered it should cut down on the behavior but you are going to have to clean the areas he has already peed really well so that he is not attracted to them afterward. After he is neutered you won't see an immediate change it takes some time for the testosterone to get out of his system.

He must be territorial. Like many other cats and dogs. He has just moved and now he must remake him territory. After he has remarked everything he should stop. But sense I know no one wants to wait when you have a baby you might have to retrain him by using the same old methods as you did before.

First off pee is not that horrible. When Dr Lister tried to promote washing hands before delievering babies as reducing chld bed fever and other doctor to discredit him took to washing his hands in bucket of cow pee to prove washing your hands had nothing to do with child bed fever. The cases of child bed fever dropped for the opposing doctor. Not becuase washing your hands had nothing to do with casuing child bed fever but because the cow urine was reasonabley clean, much cleaner that a persons hands normaly are.
I am not sayin got let your baby play in pee just don't have a cow.
Have your dog checked for a urinary tract in fectoin. It also sounds like your dog may have started the peeing when you started and continued to give the baby more attention than him.
IInclude your dog in the babies care just lik eyou would a sibling Studies show most dogs attain an mental age equal to that of a 3 year old. Let baby give dog a treat. When ou sit and feed baby call th edog to sit with you and give him a pet between bites and maybe a few bites too. Just include him and increase his love and I bet he will quit.
WEll you need to get the pee cleand up. WE find a toilet by site dogs find them by smell . It may also be that people befor eyou had a dog and your dog is finding his toilets. Tehr are pordcuts on teh market that have bacteria and enzymes tha tactaully eat the urine and get rid of it. Call your vet and ask him to recommend a good product for cleaning.

Not sure why he's peeing, but the easiest way to stop this behavior is to crate train the animal. This may be a little more work with a 5yo, but if you cannot keep an eye on him, he should be crated until he learns to potty exclusively outside.
Have you spoken with the vet to be sure it's not a urinary tract infection?
Is he fixed?

Hi,
Moving house hasn't helped his confidence. This was probably not helped by the fact it now plays second fiddle to the baby.
He is asking for attention. Make sure you built up his confidence and giving himthe attention he used to get
Good luck
