my 1 year old caviler has started to urinate in the house how do you stop him?

Answer 1

Has he been doing this before? If not, there could be something wrong, like a bladder infection. If he's been house broken and didn't have accidents before, I'd have a vet check him out. If he's OK then talk to your vet to get some ideas. Good luck.

Answer 2

If he's not been drinking more than usual, doesn't seem to be ill or 'off colour' or in pain, then there could be a behaviour pattern emerging. Has he recently had a booster jab? That can make them poorly for a few days, and could account for a short term problem.
Is he scent marking (ie cocking his leg) or is it puddles on the floor? Have you recently got a new cat/puppy that he's trying to let know who's the boss? If he's wetting when you approach, or laying on his back and peeing, then that's a good sign that he's really quite worried by you and is showing he's absolutely no threat to you - you're Top Dog. This can happen after a telling off, or God forbid, he got hit by someone in the house.
I think you have to have a real hard think about what has changed lately in his world. If nothing at all has changed then it could be a visit to the vets.

Answer 3

Cavalier King Charles spaniels are notoriously slow to mature (the retention of that "puppy face" is part of what makes them so cute!). It is not uncommon for them to be house-trained fairly reliably and then go through kind of a "teenage rebellion" at the age of 11-13 months or so where they seem to be testing the rules again. We had the same problem with our CKC, and basically you just have to go back to your original house training methods, i.e., restricting liquids at night, regular walks and/or letting out, pay more attention to "signs" of impending pottying inside, lots of positive reinforcement when they do their business outside, etc.

One thing that we found to be helpful is to give the command outside to do their business, so they know exactly why they're out there (i.w., it's not play time, it's potty time). Like, inside, we say, "Sarah - let's go outside and go potty!" Then when we're out there, we just stand there and say, "Go potty!" and as soon as she does, she gets lots of loves. It took us about two months, I think, for her to outgrow this phase and she hasn't done her business in the house since I can't remember when.

Hope this helps - good luck!

Answer 4

your dog is upset...did you move? Have you had another join your household or are you not paying enough attention to the dog...at that age dogs usually pee because they are upset
