House Training Pee

House training an older dog?

I have a dog that is 12 years old. He is for the most part house trained. He pees outside the majority of the time. But often he still pees in the house...usually in the exact same spots. Anyone have tips to stop this? Is there some kind of repellant spray that people have used successfully? Any advice would be appreciated.

With an older dog, bladder control can be a problem. You might want to have a vet check him out to make sure there are no physicial reasons for the accidents. It could be a bladder infection or kidney problem. Usually the dog doesn't want to do it, but can't help themselves. You may need to make sure he gets outside more often, and clean the soiled areas thoroughly to remove the odors. Be sure to use a pet deodorizer as well. They will often go back to where they did it before because they can smell it.

Unfortunately, this is often a common thing for older dogs, and it's very hard to stop it. They're old and not feeling well, can't "hold it" as long anymore. You could try crating him when you can't supervise him closely. Dogs don't want to soil the place they sleep in.

Good Luck and I hope everything works out well with your senior dog.

Simple Solution Pee Post - Pheromone Treated Yard Stake $8.99 Train your dog to go in one spot in the yard Treated with a pheromone scent that encourages pets to eliminate in a specific area of your yard. Simple Solution Pee Post - Pheromone Treated Yard Stake Treated with a pheromone scent that encourages pets to eliminate in a specific area of your yard. Pee Post™ helps maintain your lawn, makes clean-up easier, and aids in housetraining your pet. Gives pets a designated area to pee No more urine wreaking havoc on your garden Scientifically formulated attractant Begins work in just a few days Bright yellow color Helps maintain your lawn Usage instructions: Remove Pee Post from its package. Choose a location in your yard where you would like your pet to do his business. The area should be quiet and grassy, away from your pet's food and water. While your pet is inside your house (so he doesn't associate Pee Post with a startling hammering noise), gently hammer on the top rounded portion of the stake until it is approximately 4" to 5" into the ground. Once Pee Post is in the ground, bring your pet back outside, preferably after eating or drinking. Lead your pet to Pee Post, and let him sniff the area. With great enthusiasm, praise him after he performs. If he does not perform, do not scold him, but continue to bring him back to Pee Post whenever you anticipate he may need "to go." Continue this process until your pet consistently eliminates next to Pee Post. Training timeline: Pets who have not established their marking patterns are the easiest to train. In most instances, male dogs will instinctively mark the area and will require little training. Female dogs may need more direction and reinforcement, but following the directions above, even female dogs can be trained to use Pee Post within a short period of time.

Learn To House Train Your Dog Easily & Effectively

The information in this article is based on the successful crate training method. Crate training is not cruel. I repeat: Crate training is not cruel. If used correctly, it uses the dog's natural den instinct to your own advantage by encouraging the dog not to pee or poop where it sleeps. Dogs are naturally clean animals and will avoid going to the bathroom where they sleep. But you need to keep the following points in mind to be successful.

Establish A Regular Eating Routine
As I'm fond of saying, "what goes in must come out". To help you figure out the best times to get your dog to go to the bathroom it's important to feed your dog at the same times every day. This is the ideal time to practice your house training lessons. For your dog's comfort it's also a good idea to feed your dog in the same place every day, a place that they will identify as their eating spot. With your puppy, there's a very short time between eating and eliminating. Figure around 15 - 20 minutes. When feeding your dog, give her 15-20 minutes and then pick up the uneaten portion (if any). This will also teach your dog to eat when fed. Again, these rules can be relaxed once your dog is house trained but for now it's key to establish a routine.

Until your dog is house trained, also avoid treats and in-between meal snacks. The whole idea is to feed your dog, observe them constantly for the 15 -20 minutes after they eat and then bring them to the place where you want them to do their business. Do it like clockwork and you'll be putting your puppy in a position to succeed. This is all about setting expectations and teaching your eager learner to do what you want. And when they do, praise them wildly. Make it seem like that little pee or poop that they did is the greatest and most magnificent thing you've ever seen in your entire life. Your friends and neighbors may think you're crazy, but I can't stress enough the power of praise. It's what your puppy craves. Give it to her in generous amounts.

How Old Should Your Puppy Be?
How old should your puppy be before you begin house training? Start as early as you can but don't expect results until the pup is about 14 weeks old. Before 14 weeks your pup cannot physically hold it in. Then why start early you may ask? Well, even though your pup may not be physically able to hold it in, she'll at least begin learning what's expected of her. Consider any training before 14 weeks to be "pre-school". When her physical abilities catch up with what you taught her, it will make it that much easier to put the lessons into practice.

Size Matters
If you're considering crate training your dog as a means of house training, keep in mind that the size of crate you choose is very important. A good rule of thumb about size is: the crate should only be big enough for the dog to comfortably stand up and turn around in. You don't want the crate so big that the dog will mess at one end and sleep at the other. For large-sized breeds that will continue to grow substantially, you may need to buy a larger size later on if you intend for your dog to continue using the crate after it is house trained. And the most important rule of all: NEVER, under any circumstances, use the crate as a form of punishment. The crate should be a place where your dog wants to go, to sleep and get away from the bustle and activity in your home. You never want them to associate it with being punished.

Happy House Training!
