Dachshund won't stop pee in the house..?

Question

What is the best way to stop my 10 months old from going in the house? I brought him outside and made sure he goes fully..then 15 minutes later, he does it in the house on chair, or by bedside. What's the best way to stop him and make him LEARN?

Answer 1

Routine, routine, routine and positive reinforcement. Always, always go outside at the same time every day -- not necessarily the same clock time but for example let the dog out when you get home, right when he gets up in the morning, right before bed -- and don't deviate from this schedule if at all possible. The dog will start to learn that he gets fed after going outside in the morning, or that this is just what you do at a certain time of day --go potty.

You can also try keywords. Some say "go potty," some say "do your business" - but whatever you say always say the same thing.

Whatever you do, don't punish the dog under any circumstances. You can't "make him learn" not to pee on stuff in the house, you can only teach him to empty his bladder outside and reward him for doing so.

You may also want to take him to the vet, ask their advice, and make sure he doesn't have an incontinency problem.

Answer 2

I have a miniature dachshund that is 7 years old. He will go outside and do his business and then still come in the house and pee on our kitchen garbage can! He also pees on anything with a corner. It is not a training issue because he does not poop in the house. He totally understands that he is to do his business outside, yet he comes in and marks over and over. We have not been able to get him to stop doing this in 7 years. We bought baby onesies and put them on him when he is inside. You just snap the 2 outside snaps around either side of his tail and leave the middle snap open so his tail can come through it! It works and now he is well known for wearing his outfits!! It is a pain but it saves our floors and he looks cute at the same time! Hope this helps! :)

Answer 3

Well I can tell you this much from my eperience...

I have a male pug and he is about 7 years old now and he is fully trained, but he still "sprays" on every corner, leg on every chair and on base boards!! I cannot get him to stop! I have confined him in the kitchen because he pisses on EVERYTHING!!! One thing I have not tried yet that i have heard may help is getting male dogs fixed, but it does not work for all. My dog doesn't fully pee in the house, just the "spraying" thing. so if this sounds like what your dog is doing, he may never stop! Male dogs just mark their territory! Oh and if you are not already doing it, keep him in a small kennel and only let him out to go outside to pee for a few weeks. One of these days when I get a chance, I am going to get my dog fixed and see if that works. But I know female dogs don't do it.... well hope this helps!

Answer 4

I have a dachshund and we had the same problem. We tried for 4 mths to get him to stop going in the house and nothing worked. Don't use puppy pads. He will just continue to go in the house. We finally discovered that if we put him in his kennel for about 30 mins right after he went he would stop. We broke him in 3 days after doing that. He might be mad at you for a little while, but they are very loyal dogs and soon he will return feelings of love and respect. Just try it and let me know how it works. Oh and rub his nose in it.

Answer 5

The best thing to do is to just be patient. Take him outside more often and make sure you clean the heck out of your floors where he goes because if he smells his scent of pee, he'll keep going there. I have had Dachshunds and they are harder to train than say...German Shepherds or Labs. Good luck

Answer 6

I have Dachshunds, and they are stubborn. Patience is key - if possible, install a doggie door so he/she has access to go outside. If not try to walk her/him often and always first thing in the morning.

If your puppy is male. My dogs tend to mark a corner if another dog is close. Also when they are nervous, like someone walking down the street. Comfort and acclaimate your puppy to other people and dogs to help with this problem.

Answer 7

We have a dachshund and it took a long time to train it, but if u don't leave the water out and u give it to him every once in a while, and take him out right after he drinks, that might help, well good luck.

Answer 8

I have a dachshund that wouldn't stop peeing in the house too. I have had numerous dogs in my life and this one is the only one that nerver learned to do his business outside. His name is TT "Tiny Tinkle." I got tired of him peeing on the carpet. He is now an outdoor dog.

Answer 9

you have to watch the signals and brng him out, sniffing, going in circles, etc, when he goes outside praise him and give him a treat, if he goes in the house bring him immediately outside and try to wait for hime to go and praise him for going outside, just for future i find the females are much easier to train

Answer 10

TRAIN HIM!!!!!
