I take away his water bowl at 9pm. Took him for a walk at 11pm. He went to his bed at midnight and at 2am he whines to be let out. I let him out and realize that he's peed in his bed. I scolded him, then I change beddings and place him back in crate and tweny minutes later, i hear him peeing in crate again. What is wrong with this dog? He peed on the wall inside the house twice as well (he hasn't be neutered so how do I stop him from marking the wall?). He's six and half months old and we live in an apartment so we have pads for him in the bathroom, which he uses well when we're not home with him. Thanks. He's a boston terrier.

he needs to be in a confined space. the theory is that dogs will not pee where they eat or sleep so keep a bowl of food and blankies for him in the crate. the crate should not be too big, just enough for him to lie down and a bowl of food. If he does have an accident, make sure to take him outside. 1st point to the pee, tell him no in a firm voice (not yelling) then take him outside. He's a baby, it'll take him awhile. You can't expect a baby to learn to use the toilet right away, it takes time and patience. You might want to take his water bowl a little earlier, like 8pm.

If she is not aware it happened, she might be incontinent. This usually happens in older, spayed females, but can happen at any age. When we spay, we remove all reproductive organs and this takes away much of their estrogen. Estrogen does many things and one of those things is that it strengthens the urinary muscles. Over time, the muscles weaken (in all of us) and dogs (as well as humans- yay, something to look forward too) have urinary leakage. The symptoms are uncontrolled leakage and clients usually complain that their dog is urinating in their bed. No big deal, just set up an appt and what the vet will do is give her an injection of a estrogen (ECP) if this is the cause, you will see that she is not leaking anymore. ECP usually lasts a few weeks to a month and then wears off. The vet will then give you pills that she will have to take. She will be on the pills forever, but they are not expensive at all. My 6 year old boxer is incontinent, she has been this way since she was 1 year old. It's not a big deal, bu if I forget to give her the pills for a while, I will notice she will drip here and there, usually when she is jumping from the couch and she doesn't even know it. A UTI (urinary tract inf.) - what everyone is saying she must have is when they are aware they are going, they go frequently and there will usually be blood in it . They will not usually urinate while they are sleeping if i is a UTI. The fact that she is points to incontinence. make an appt. to see the vet.

It sounds like he might have a bladder infection, or something else that is making him lose control of his bladder. Most dogs will not pee in their beds unless they have no control over it. You should take him to the vet without delay. As for the peeing on the wall thing, he needs to be broken of that. You are enabling him with the pads. It gives him the idea that peeing in the house is acceptable. He is 6 months old- plenty old enough to be housebroken. He has to be trained to go out for a walk 3 or 4 times a day and to do his business then and at no other time. My bulldog used to try to pee on everything when we got him, too, and he was 2 years old at the time! It turns out that he did that because his previous owners did not take him on regular walks-he had a doggie door so he could go out to the backyeard whenever he pleased- so he did not get the concept of peeing/pooing when he was out on a walk with me. Within a few weeks, though, because I was consistent in taking him out only a few designated times a day (7 AM, 1:30 PM, 5:30 PM, and 10 PM), he learned how to hold it in like a "big boy" until it was time for a walk, and now we never have any accidents, unless he's sick, and then I know he can't help it.

Hi I have a Boston terrier that just turned 7 months, he has the same peeing problem on the walls, and on many other things, he also is not nutered. I dont know what the problem is or why he does it, a dog trainer said it could be because he hasnt been nutered. Sorry I dont have an answer for your question but at least you know someone else is having this problem too.

The bed area he sleeps in might be too big, it should be just big enough to have him stand up, turn around and lay in...too big and he'll pee where he sleeps.
At six months he should be okay to sleep through the night, unless you just got him and he isn't potty trained yet. Pups need to go out usually once every two to three hours. Six months is about the time to get him fixed, this may help.
If the pee pads are teaching him it's okay to pee inside...maybe you need to take a different approach and try training him to ring a bell when he needs out?!
Good luck!
