Puppy peeing inside?

Question

My 8 week old puppy keeps peeing on things. I know she isn't old enough to control her bladder very well yet, but I take her out about 8 times a day. She'll pee every time so it makes no sense that she still goes in the house. I'll take her out and she will pee then ten minutes later she will pee on on the carpet. She doesn't have a specific spot she pees on she just goes anywhere, especially on people's things. like a jacket on a chair or a purse. Does anyone know why she does this and how to stop it?

Answer 1

keep it in a baby cage or a dog crate only let it out when you are playing with him, but always take him outside to pee 1st. Puppys usually will not pee where they sleep eventually they will realize the routine of peeing outside

Answer 2

We housebroke our puppy in 3 days. The biggest thing I learned, was only give food and water about 3 times a day. Leaving them out is disatrous! Then all they are doing is pooping and peeing. I was also told, any time they take a sip of water, or drink...within 10 minutes they need to go potty. Just take them right out. I also watched my dog, and you can learn what the dog does before it needs to go (such as circling around for a good spot, how they sniff around), and if I notice that...I took him out. Also make sure to clean up the pee spots inside really well...they will smell it and continue to pee there. I also hung a string of bells on the backdoor, and rung them in front of the dog everytime I went to let him out...now he hits the bells with his nose whenever he needs to go out. I also read somewhere that puppies sometimes don't fully empty their bladder the first time the pee outside, and you might want to keep him out longer to pee again before letting him in. Hope some of this helps! And DON'T rub their nose in it...that is gross, and can cause respiratory problems..plus it is mean, and common sense would tell you that is not healthy for the pet.

i just went through this my self a puppy up to 12 months will have to go outside 30 - 60 min after eating drinking and always after waking up after being let out of the crate when you feed your dog leave water too if it is not gone within a hour take it away never leave water and food out all the time but if the puppy don't finish the food right away don't worry take him outside for one hour if you can't stay with him get a harness so he can't hang him self and tie him out even if you have a fence make sure there is nothing they the could chew or eat that could hurt him like plants and weeds mushroom stuff like that also make sure that he can't get stuck in stuff like chairs bikes BQ grilles when he get older make sure if you have a fence that if he were to jump it that he can land on all fours and not hang that why i tell you to use a harness when your puppy goes outside make a big stink about make sure he knows that he did a good job don't ever leave food a water out all the time can lead to over weight pets when full grown water is ok to be left out and a 8 week puppy should eat 3 x a day until 6 months at 2x a day 1 year 1x a day or unless vet says other wise

Answer 4

You need to get a routine going first thing mornings take the pup out tell her to be busy if she goes praise her them bring her in feed her and give her a drink within ten minutes watch her as soon as she starts to run around normal in circles she wants to go put her out side in the area you want her to use for her toilet needs tell her to be busy,Dont forget to praise her when she has. you need to watch her most of the time for the first week for the signs she is going to go after the first week it will get easy but you will still need to keep an eye on her make sure she has access to the garden at all times.If you have to leave her then put her in a crate with one half paper the other half some bedding the door can be left open when you are home this will give the pup a place she can call her own.At night use the crate do not put any water in after she has been fed her last meal and be allowed to have her drink.

Answer 5

PATIENCE AND PERSISTENCE. You have to really watch her and if she looks like she is about to squat, make a loud abrupt noise and grab her and head to the back yard.

Every dog will train at their own speed; unfortunately for you.
The most import thing is that you really donate the TIME to keep a close watch on them.

Their bladders are very small and need to go out often. At least once an hour. Have a key word for going out. Our's is "lets check the back" which means were are all going to the back yard and do our business. That is better than saying lets go pee. Keep a close watch on them. If you see them acting like they might be about to squat or hike, make an abrupt noise or a whistle to get their attention and grab them and go outside immediately. I don't like to paper train because later they will pee on any paper left in the floor because you taught them to do that. I hope you are not up-stairs in the apartment.

If you have to, you can train them to one of those pads you buy at the pet stores for now and later move the pad outside and later just do away with the pad. Praise her when she does her thing. Take her to the same spot in the yard.

Wash any area that they do use, so you remove any smell. So that spot doesn’t attract them back. Don't scold them or hit them, they did what nature intended and they have to learn where the proper place it and that's your job. Don't rub their noses in the spot that is certainly going to teach them to go out side....yea.!

The most important thing is to be consistant and very watchful.

Some people will crate train. Keep them in the crate and let out to play in the yard and then return to the crate. It could take several days to 2 weeks before they get the idea that outside is to pee. But remember they cannot open that door because the handle is too high....so if they pee in the house it is your fault not theirs.

Another big item that it would help is if your family is on the same page and will help with the training. If you have to train, do the housework and fight with everyone else, it is not going to be a good 2 weeks. Talk with family member and request their help. Small dogs who are absolutely obnoxious can learn as long as you and your family establish yourself as the alpha of the pack and don't let the "cute" little guys run you

Answer 6

An 8 week old pup has a 2 hour bladder when sleeping and no more than a half hour when awake... plus needs to go out after every meal and the moment it awakes.

Here's a good link.

Here's how I housetrain dogs

ENTIRE WEEKEND- I dedicate the whole weekend to training the dog.
1) 12-24 hour Fast (usually no food after late Thurs night and I begin training Friday afternoon after work- 12 hours for a puppy)- feeding all weekend in the form of rewarding for pottying outdoors.
2) Dog restricted at all times to crate or leash tied to my waist so I don't forget to watch the dog.
3) Bait water- blenderized canned dogfood in water... dog is hungry and drinks a LOT- this gives me tons of opportunities to take dog outside and reward.
4) Pocket full of kibble to reward successful pottying outdoors
5) Praise Praise Praise for successful pottying outside.. its a party!!!
6) Quick trip outside if I see the dog looking like it might be considering peeing
7) Rolled up newspaper to beat MYSELF over the head if I don't watch the dog closely enough


I like to set a timer for 20 minutes or so to remind myself to take out the puppy.

Answer 7

Just have patience...An 8 week old pup doesn't get housebroken overnight!

Take her out any time she's had water. What goes in comes out about 5 minutes later.

If you catch her having an accident, scream NO or clap your hands to startle her, then take her outside.

If she has an accident that you didn't catch, show it to her, tell her no (Don't rub her nose in it or anything...) and take her outside.

Consider crate training her - It will make housebreaking a lot easier.

Answer 8

I don't know why dogs do that, but i have a puppy that had problems with that so i talked to my uncle who is a dog trainer. He said that you should have newspaper that is in a common space and everytime she starts to pee you carry her to the paper. Hopefully she will start to go on that (my dog did.) Then as she gets used to it you put newspaper right outside and gradually move it away from the house and she should follow the paper until you do not have to use the paper.

Answer 9

because you let it. put the dog on a water scheduled and have a water bottle ready to squirt at your dog when it go in the home and give it a treat when it go out side. take about a month but the dog will tell you when is has to go . and the dog can control its bladder. it doesn't go on its food so you have to train the dog

Answer 10

when u catch her peeing, rub her nose in it....i know it sounds harsh, but it works...
keep her locked up all day in a certain spot, cage or room...they won't pee if they cant move out of their area...
good luck
