am crate training puppy. he still urinates in it overnight even though I have limited his space.?

Question

I take him out a lot but he still urinates in the crate. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

How old is he? He can only hold his bladder for a couple of hours, even overnight. Its' up to you to get up with him to take him outside to pee. His bladder is very immature and holding it for long periods of time is not going to happen until he is much older.
A 3 month puppy can usually hold his bladder for about 3 hrs...a 4 month puppy=4hrs...a 5month puppy=5hrs etc...
Hope this helps.

Answer 2

You don't say how old he is. Young puppies are NOT physically capable of holding their bladder overnight. The general rule of thumb is that puppies can hold their bladder at most for their age in months plus one hour. For an 8 week old puppy, that's only 3 hours. Unless your puppy is older than 6 or 7 months, you will have to get up in the middle of the night and early in the morning to let your puppy out or he will have no choice but to urinate in his crate.

The other thing you can do is pull the water an hour before bedtime so that he doesn't get a chance to tank up on water right before bedtime.

Answer 3

if it is a puppy the best thing to do is to take him out bout every 1 hour, their bladders only hold thimble full of pee and when it is full they dont know how to suppress it. at night you should at least take him out 1 time like in the middle of the night just so he can use it even if hes asleep wake him up. if you do this he will eventually learn that he is supposed to go outside not in the crate and the more he is taken out the less the odor. the older they get the longer they will be able to go without going good luck

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://bitly.im/aMVph

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Answer 5

Once a dog gets used to marking his territory, it is a hard habit to break. Try another crate w/o the scent of urine, then buy a commercial product that will make the dog not want to go where it is sprayed. When you take the dog out make sure you place him immediately on the grass or spot you want him to use. Also make sure there is dog food and water inside...they don't like to do it where they eat.

Answer 6

If your pup is urinating in his crate overnight he needs a potty break through the night. You don't want him to get into the habit of peeing in his crate.

Answer 7

Is the crate too big for him? We had this with a Beagle we adopted.
The crate was too big and then he became honery when we put him in a carrier when we left and pooped in it. I had the spray that can be bought to keep animals from doing these things (inside or out) sprayed that in the carrier and he stopped. I also used this spray in the crate that was too big and surrounding areas which helped there too.

Answer 8

How often is a lot ? Young pups need to potty when they wake up, after they eat , and every 2-3 hrs in between . Not your pups fault really. Be Sure when you take him out last thing at night that he actually pees--watch him and when he does give lots of praise. Do NOT just assume he peed just 'cause you let him out.

As a professional dog trainer for over 16 years, I have to tell you my strong opinion that you need these group classes for obedience training. http://OnlineDogTraining.enle.info/?O7E5

Other pet warehouses are there to get you to buy their products and hang around their strore. And their trainers are their employees...never forget they have an agenda. Most of the trainers have very little education--if they had actual training and skills they wouldn't be there making just over minimum wage--trust me on this. But even if they did have experience and talent...a group setting is a terrible place for learning to take place. It's distraction training and it is the LAST phase of training not the first. You wouldn't have your child try to do their homework in a toy store, would you? Of course not...the level of distraction would be too high! It's the same with dogs. Having said that, these classes can be an excellent way to socialize dogs...but not to train them. And while they appear to be cheaper than a professional trainer...you have to attend many more sessions to get the same results because of the poor learning environment--so you wind up spending MORE money for less training than you would with a professional. Save your money and go to someone who actually knows how to train dogs. OR, read books and try to train your dog yourself. There is nothing they train at a Petsmart or Petco that you can't do yourself with a couple of hours of reading.
