HELP ME !!!! How do I get my Puggle Puppy (10 weeks) to stop Marking his territory!!?

Question

Winston is 10 weeks and he is doing fairly well with potty training. He is trained to the Wee-Wee pads as well as going outside.

However, he keeps doing this notorious sniffing...I guess he's trying to pick up a scent and then pops a squat!!! Why is he doing that??

It's driving me crazy!!! When he does pee or mark his territory, I clean it up right away. I have also spread ceyenne pepper and red pepperseeds to discourage this behavior.

Will he stop or grow out of this?
Is this a training Issue?
Should I be doing something Different?
Is there a difference between peeing and marking territory?

Thank You!!!

He even does then after he comes in from outside from a potty break.

He is crate trained. I block off part of the kitchen as a pen and his crate is in this area. He is in this area while I'm at work. he has a wee-wee pad in this area also.

Answer 1

No 10 week old puppy is "marking his territory". He's just peeing, and he's peeing whereever he wants because he's not potty trained.

In puppies, sniffing around in circles invariably leads to peeing -- take it as a sign to get him to the right spot!

This is a training issue! Consider getting into a Puppy Kindergarten obedience class in your area -- they're invaluable!

Think of him as a toddler running around the house without a diaper on -- watch him like a hawk.

He will absolutely need to pee:
1. Within 15 minutes of drinking
2. After waking up from a nap/sleep
3. After playing hard

Again, these are things a trainer will tell you in a class. They are a great tool!

Good luck!

OK fist of all a *PUGGLE * is a part pug and beagle, the beagle side of him has a great noise for sniffing and beagles are very stubborn about house training, 1 thing you can do is instead of using a wee-wee paper is use a crate. even though a wee-wee paper is for house training it is not giving the pup no boundaries, he just "sniffs and squats" a create will give him boundaries allow you to supervise him better and take him OUTSIDE as needed, hope this helps and good luck

All training a dog to pee on a pad is doing is training him to pee in your house! You want them to know to NEVER go in your house! You should be taking him out every 20 mins. Set a timer to remind you, when he goes outside and does something, clap and praise him and give him a treat. Set the timer for another 20 mins. and start the whole thing over. When the timer goes off, ask him want to go potty? and when you get to the door ask him to speak. When he barks, give him a treat. If you do this for a couple days, he should get the idea very soon. Why on earth would you bring a pet into your home without any idea how to raise it properly?

Answer 4

He is still too young to be marking his territory. He is still a baby, and can't hold it for a long time yet. When he gets to be 6 months old, he can probably hold it for 6-8 hours at a time. Try putting him in a dog crate at night. We have puppies, and this is the quickest way to have them get control of their bodily functions.
By the way, we had a neutered dog in our house who never made a mistake. A year later, we got a girl dog, and he started picking up his leg in the house. This dog was neutered when he was still a puppy.

Your dog is not marking his territory yet so give him a chance to grow up more so he can go longer before he has to relieve himself.

Answer 6

They do not mark territory at 10 weeks. Gee....Beagles are notorious for being hard to house break!!!! Wonder what theat means for a Puggle!!!!!!

Answer 7

At this age he's just peeing. They like to go where they've gone before.

You need to be watching him more carefully and confining him when you can't watch him. As soon as you notice him sniffing, pick him up and carry him out. Stay out with him so you can reward him for going outside.

Tell yourself that if he pees inside, it's YOUR fault for not watching him closely enough.

Answer 8

Get over it males are so territorial just make sure it is only territorial outside!!

Answer 9

It is normal for a male dog to do this, that is why I never would own one. Every time he does you need to rub his nose in it and put him back on his paper or throw him out side...
After you get him spaded this will stop. But discipline is what you need to do more of
Cleaning it up and not disciplining him for what he has done is not a cure.

Answer 10

keep potty training, disciplining when needed, have him fixed when he's old enough, and hopefully it will go away. This unfortunatly is something that may NEVER go away, however.
