There can be cases where there is a breakdown and regression of older dog housetraining habits that may start as psychological and eventually end up being a medical issue. One example might be the case where the dog seems to forget his housebreaking rules and urinates due to spite and jealously.

Your dog housetraining at this stage almost feels wasted and forgotten. A dog of this kind may actually get a psychosamatic urinary tract infection which will provide him with reason to relieve himself anywhere he wishes. This very condition can be the result of something else coming into the household like a new cat, bird, baby, or anything that is getting attention from you. Verbally punishing at these times may only aggravate the issue.

Your Dog Is Attention Seeking

The dog is getting attention, which is what it wanted in the first place and as long as it is getting this extra attention, whether it is shaming or admonishment, it will continue whatever action prompts the attention. Competition may lead to a regression of housebreaking behavior without it resulting in a psychosomatic urinary tract infection. The dog owner should understand that competition alone could cause of the problem and as such when there is competition, the dog wets.

The competition may be all in his head or reality and a complete exam to find out if any current changes in the family or household may be necessary. Something may be giving the dog a feeling that its position, or your affection for it is in jeopardy. Whether actual or simply imagined, it is very real to the dog. If competition is to blame, extra time spent with your dog, and maybe even exaggerated affection, will normally suffice in removing the motivator of its bad deeds. Make some time with your older dog and do some extra dog house training.

Continual Bad Dog Behavior

Then, you have the kind of dog who feels free to wet everywhere and on everything including your furniture and bed in order to try and control the environment he is in. This particular dog can be described as selfish and narcissistic and will wet anything around as a way to stake a claim on territory. This is a dog that needs a master in all the purest and literal sense of the word.

That type of dog realizes that it is the leader of the pack, although he really doesn't want to be. This dog is insecure and needs, strong and confident leadership. This behavior occurs or comes about when relaxed and easy going dog owners who baby and spoil their dogs, and the relativity of love and discipline is more balanced toward love.

Your old pet may need reminding of your affection for him and they love you being the leader, so make the time to do refresher courses on dog housetraining.
