My dog keeps peeing on everything in the house, marking everything! What do i do?

Answer 1

Have your dog altered. Honestly a neutered male dog is soo much less likely to mark. Also try and catch your dog in the act of marking, make a loud noise to try and stop him or yell lol either way. Then rush him outside and PRAISE him like craaaazy for going outside. You can also try taking him for lots of walks so he can mark outside. Good luck I hope I was at least semi helpful. I know how frustrating it can be.

Answer 2

If you dog is just still consider to be a puppy yet under 1 year old, he can still learn not to pee and dump in the house, never rub your dog nose in his own urin wouldn't do any good at all and I bet you already found that one out anyways.

What you could try is this method regardless of the age of your dog, is to removed all food and water off of the floor in the night before you go to bed, and also let him/her out side thirty minutes before it is your bed time and bring him/her back in if you must.

Another thing is also he/she could have a medical problem as well, so have your Vet check out your dog to make sure it is nothing really wronge there.

If nothing more, then you might as well get used to at having a outdoor instead of a house dog.

Good Luck

Answer 3

Each mistake the dog is allowed to make reinforces the idea that the spot it has chosen is "ok" for use.

Training proceeds very quickly if the dog is not allowed to make mistakes and is rewarded for relieving itself in the desired area. Keep this fine training technique in mind: If the dog potties in the wrong area take a newspaper, roll it up, and hit yourself over the head with it while saying: "I should have been watching, I should have been watching, I should have been watching!" Three times is usually sufficient for most humans, repeat more often if you find yourself making additional mistakes.

Punishing the dog after the fact makes it more diligent to hide the act from you. It hardly takes you closer to the desired goal.

Take a dog outside immediately after waking, eating, or exercise. They often need to eliminate after these activities and you'll have a wonderful opportunity to catch them in the act and reward for their good deed.

Keep a dog that is not potty trained under close supervision. It may be crated during times that you cannot give it the attention it needs, or you can keep it on leash so that you can readily observe its behavior. Usually they will sniff the ground and move in circles preparing to potty. Take the puppy outside and wait for it to potty. When it does praise!

Your dog's success is directly related to your diligence. It is a matter of a couple of weeks for a young dog to catch on, older dogs even less. If it takes longer ask yourself what you've missed and refer to the newspaper technique described above.

Answer 4

Is he/she spayed or neutered? That helps a tremendous amount.
The pet stores have sprays you can use to deterr spraying. Be sure to keep a heavy eye on the dog and reprimand it each and every time it begins to spray. Make a loud noise and tell it "NO", pick it up and take it to a puppy pad by the back door or take it outside immediately. Just like you did when you housetrained it.
Talk to your Vet if you can't get it stopped within a week or so.

Answer 5

Well I don't know if this helps any but I heard that if you clean the stain with 3 parts water and I think one part vinegar , it gets rid of the smell and for some reason the dog won't go there again. I guess maybe it doesn't like the smell. Not sure if it works I have never tried it myself but I thought it might be helpful.

Answer 6

is this dog new to your home?

did you get a new animal?

is the dog in heat?

Sometimes dogs feel unloved and will do things for your attention.

You could try putting your dog in a small room until it stops doing it, however with our dalmatian she just pooped instead but after a while she stopped.

Try taking your dog for long walks or just letting it out to run in the yard if you have one.

Dogs can't be locked up in apartments or houses all day- like people they go crazy!!

Answer 7

You need to undo the bad behavior by taking control of the situation. Lock down your dog by taking away his house privileges. Get a crate and limit your dogs freedom in the house to only when you have your eyes on him. If there are any accidents, understand it will be your fault. There’s no excuse for your dog to relive themselves in your home if you have complete control of his freedom.

The thing is that your dog has developed the bad habit of thinking it’s ok to urinate in your home. Break this habit immediately.

Start house training at the beginning and begin to associate outside with going to the bathroom. This is done by taking your pet out at regular times. Take him to the door, praise him, go outside with him and wait for him to go. Once done, give him loads of praise. Remember that the key to this is breaking the bad habits by associating outside bathroom duties to praise and positive reinforcement.

The idea of rubbing his nose in it etc. doesn’t work. If you don’t see him go, then you can’t correct him. This is why it’s critical to be consistent and keep your eyes on him.

The suggestion of getting him neutered is a good one if he’s old enough.
The other suggestion with merit is to clean all surfaces and remove all traces of urine smell. Most pet supply stores carry enzyme based dog odor cleaners. Get some and use liberally.

In the end you want to:
1. Undo the bad behavior by controlling your pets access to your home
2. Consistent crate training is the way to go to re-train your dog.
3. Clean all places where the dog has urinated with an enzyme based cleaner
4. Consider neutering if your pet is old enough.

If you can’t afford the vet expense for neutering, check the yellow pages and locate low cost spay and neuter clinics in your area. Good luck

Answer 8

Take him back, rub his nose in the spot, scold him then put him outside for a bit. Clean the spot with oxiclean for pet spots and try to keep an eye on the dog when he first starts to lift his leg tell him no and let him out. You might want to shampoo the carpet if another dog has lived there previously and has marked the territory.

Answer 9

i'll asume its a male....i use vingar and water to spray anything thats been marked..then i put it in my carpet scrubber and do all the floors... u need to catch the dog marking stuff..don't scream..it doesn't help, take by scruff of neck a firm(not hard) little shakes side to side...SAY OUT firm like a growl....put dog out...stay with the dog..he pees outside= lots a prasie and a treat maybe....

it is very important u catch and stop him in the act...dogs don't know what they did more then 30 sec after they do it......this has worked on all my strays..and my own pups.

Answer 10

Fixing a male dog will stop most of that. But training is a constant acitivity in the beginning. Take him outside every hour or so on a leash; take him to the same general area in your yard; and praise, praise, praise, (even treats) when he goes. When he goes in the house, scold him, and take him outside immediately.
