How To Get Your Dog To Stop Peeing All Over The House!
Stop Your Dog From Peeing All Over!
This is probably the most common problem dog owners face when they bring their dog home. It is almost inevitable that a puppy will pee almost anywhere in your house because a puppy is still young and not 'educated'. But for grown up dogs, if this problem still exists, this means that your dog is not toilet trained and you need to learn how to discipline your dog.
The very first step to be able to toilet train your dog is to make sure your dog recognizes its name. This is like how you would want to educate your child, by calling your child to attention by his name. This is the same for dogs, you have to make sure they know their name so when you teach them, they know that you are lecturing them.
If your dog does not respond to its name, keep calling out for your dog every moment. Give him treats, play toys with it and keep calling its name.
Now, when your dog knows its name, this means your dog will listen to you when you speak to it. So - When your dog pees in a particular area that is not meant to be urinated on, carry your dog over to that spot, and call out to your dog, and tell your dog that he is not supposed to pee here. Then, bring your dog to the place where he can pee (be it the toilet or just some newspaper) and tell your dog to pee there the next time. You might think this is ridiculous, speaking to a dog that doesnt not understand human language, but, this method does work.
I used that method on my 3 dogs and they do not pee all over after a period of time. However, I did an additional step. I gave my dog a light slap when lecturing him if he continues peeing all over after a few times of lecture. Many people do not believe in physically punishing your dog. But to me it works, just a light tap on your dog's mouth or backside.
Remember that while speaking to your dog and lecturing it, you have to be firm and strict. Your tone will have to be strict and loud. Like how parents lecture their children, dogs too, will be scared and will listen to instructions and not commit the mistake again.
Another solution to stop your dog from peeing all over the house and to get it pee in the place you want to, you can purchase a liquid that smells like pee from pet shop. The bottle of liquid is used by dripping it on the place you want your dog to pee, say for example on pieces of newspaper. The smell produced by the liquid will attract your dog to pee on it. As time goes by, your dog will learn to pee on the correct place.
Patience is the key to train your dog successfully.

Thanks for your comments. I think my methods might be unusual, but I was just hoping to share what I know. Anyway, training the dog to potty on puppy pads/newspaper is also another way to make sure your dog does not pee anywhere in the house - Paper Train as you've described in your hub about this topic. Thanks anyway for your comments.
When training your dog you need patience and consistency. The dog directory in the Ayrshire Kennels website has many links to dog websites for dog training, dog tips and tricks, top 100 dog websites, dog books and many more doggie things.
I have two dogs they are un nuetered, they fight and pee all over the house. Please please help me. I am giving one away tomorrow morning if i cant find a solution!

oh no.. sounds bad. i dont know how to solve dog fighting problems.. hehe
My little 2 year old dog pees all over the house...i was almost ready to give him away but i cant its too hard. I used some of this advice and it helped a lil...but yu shouldnt put pads or newspapers in yur house i mean its only teaching the dog that you can pee in the house.. dont put pads or w.e. else just scold your dog for doing that and for now on keep walking the dog
You Slap Your Dogs...?? Really, I Was Interested On Your Methods Because I Have A Shi Tzu And she's Peeing All Over my House, But When You Suggested To Slap (Punish) Your Dog As A Lecturing I Most Definetly Lost The Interest and Immediatly Stopped Reading.
*Pardon Any Gramatical Errors, I'm Hispanic.
i do not and never will slap my dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok she is not saying to hit your dog...she was just saying a light tap..dogs have a short attention span so when your lecturing them they will more worried about where they put their bone than what your talking about.. so a little tap gets there attention again.
yeah its not like she's beating the hell out of them!
dogs are like children, sometimes a little tap on the ass is what they need.
If slapping ("light tapping") your dog is the only way you can hold their attention then you have bigger issues, seriously.
Do you slap your child for having an bathroom accident? I doubt it. What do they learn? That when you're mad you may hit them, PERIOD.
Get a clicker or snap your fingers if the dog is losing interest in your lecture. Take the dog to the scene of the accident, Say, "NO" like you mean it, then take them where you want them to use the bathroom, give the bathroom command you train them with ("Go Potty", "GO Pee-Pee", "Go Poop" or whatever) and praise them and give them a treat when they do it on command. Do this repeatedly (2-3 times a day) and consistently until it sticks. Be patient, loving but firm. Remember, your dog WANTS to please you but may not know how all of the time.
This may sound TERRIBLY BAD but my dog (chhuahua) is about 1 and she pees everywhere if you dont put her out often, what i did is i rubbed her nose it it and told her NO! She did it again and so i rubbed her nose in it and slapped her butt. I no it sounds TERRIBLE but i didnt hurt her...after i did that aboout 2 different times and put her out frequently, she hasnt done it in months!
thats what they say! but my dog still does that. grr...
For those of you who believe that dogs don't understand the english language minus their own name and a few select words have been mistaken. Dogs can understand as much as a 2 year old child can understand. Never train your dog to use newspaper or "peewee pads" if you plan on training them to go outside. it just confuses them if later on you train them to go outside and they use the same spot the paper was and you scold them. yes, you can lightly tap them when your scolding them but more so often just saying NO in a firm voice does the trick and do not "lecture" them because they, like 2 year olds, will not listen and you are just wasting your breath. train them early to go outside to go to the bathroom and if problems still occur call a behaviorist or trainer to get help.

I have a dog we tryed treat. take her out all the time. She will go out side come in the house then do her pooping or peeing. We tryed tapping he with a newspaper. Putting her nose up to it, telling her no. We ended up finding this dog. Taking her in as no owner around...May be will try the pottie paties. She does have some behavor problems with food also. Overall that she is still a good loving dog.
before i say this.. because i see some of you are against physical punishment.. i'll say this. my dog [who is now 8 years old and wonderful] is now potty trained and i never hit her. ever. for any reason. she is perfectly behaved. we love eachother and couldnt be happier. BUT..
when it comes to something like my house.. where i live and have guests.. i wont stand for dog piss anywhere in my home. so when she was younger.. and although i was also 8 years younger then, i would drag her [yes, drag] to the place she urinated, scold her and slap the hell out of her backside a couple times. she was trained in a matter of weeks. she only used the bathroom in the floor a few times that i can even remember.
also i'd like to add that she now walks directly to the back door, then stands and waits when she needs to go outside. she's been doing this for years and years.
I have done this project and it was
Dog lover who wont put up with dog urine.---- you're a disgrace i shudder to read your comments
I think that slaping your dogs is fine but not to hard but my parents did it if i did something wrong and i never did it again.
HELP!!! Ok I rescued a little pomeranian when he was 6 months old. We were told at the time that he was housebroken. NOT! He pisses literally in every single corner, the edge of the couch, the cat liter box, the parrot cages, the tv stand, dvd stand, etc. Even the kitchen table! We can't seem to catch him in the actual act of doing it. He seems to wait until we are either in the shower or in bed sleeping. We've been forced to leave him outside when we aren't home but even for Las Vegas, it's cold and he cries when we leave him there.
We did currently buy a crate but he is terrified of it. When we brought him home he was in a crate that was too small for a puppy chihuahua and we barely were able to get him out of it initially. We mop and mop and we've tried the cleaners to remove the smell (we have tile floors, no carpet), but he still does it. The vet checked him out ok! He doesn't have any medical issues.
I don't know what else to do. I don't want to give him up. But I may be forced to if I can't get this resolved, as I have a 7 yr old and I do not want to keep walking into a house or her and smelling the nasty piss smell because he did it again after we mopped and scrubbed the floors. He has also starting sneaking into the cat litter box and eating the cat poop (eww).
He is very skittish (his name is Shye) and if you raise your voice at him he runs. I don't know what his past history was. He was just handed over to me by a OLD tenant that rented a house from me who said her friend gave her the dog and she was allergic so he had to sit in the crate day and night. (he couldn't even stand up in this crate or turn around). What do I do. HELP! I will try everything to house train him (except abuse him), otherwise I have to give him up. :(
sometimes people yell at ther dogs for peeing in the house when they dont let them outside to pee. so please be sure before using these methods that that is not your problem.
I have two border terriers which will not pee when theres some one around but in the evening they got the run of the house down stairs which has a dog flap to the garden but one or both will insist on peeing at least once a nite, i dont want to cut off their balls because there is a lot of interest in useing them as studs, both dogs are over 2 yrs old. please help if you can
I take care of my parents dogs as they are both disabled and dont have the energy to take the dogs out themselves. I do take them out when I can but I have a 3 year old, I work and I go to school so I cant take them out as often as they should. The dogs themselves are getting old and are starting to loose their ability to hear ( either that or, like a child, have learned to pretend they didnt hear you, LOL). Seriously though, I dont want to tell my parents that if they cant take care of their dogs that theyve had forever they need to give them up but its getting to the point everytime I come home from school or work Im cleaning up after the dogs. I swear I use the carpet cleaner almost everynight. I dont know what to do! Is there anyone with some good advice for me or should I just get the guts and confront my parents about giving them up? And, no, taking my time to train them is not an option, I take care of them morw than I want to already, I dont want that responsibilty on top of everything else I have going on. I dont have my own pets for the simple reason of not wanting to train and take care of something else. My son keeps me plenty busy. PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! HELP ME!
Our female dog peed in our house for 9 years, hardwood floors, carpet it didn't matter, she would soak the floor and lay in puddles of pee even though we have a dog door to the back yard for all of our dogs. She finally stopped doing it after 9 years! It was only after she stopped that we learned why she was doing it. We have 4 dogs and she was jealous of one of them (our other female dog). She was peeing everywhere to mark her territory. What got her to stop peeing is when we made her think the bedroom was the most special place in the house by no longer allowing her in there. We do allow our other female dog in there and since she is the object of her jealousy, this allowed her to think that the bedroom is the only thing worthy of marking. So she then decided the rest of the house wasn't worthy of marking. So in our case, the reason was jealousy and territorial marking. If you have only one dog, you are less likely to run into this problem I think. We still can't use dog pillows because she has decided they are "special and worthy of marking" so if we put them down on the floor she will pee on them but at least now she won't pee any where else. Now our new problem is a rescued cat who pees all over our house even though he has a cat door to go outside!!!
By the way - I do want to mention - DO NOT THINK YOUR PETS WILL BE FINE IF YOU BRING THEM TO A SHELTER, IT IS A DEATH SENTENCE !...they kill 6-7 million homeless pets in shelters due to extreme overpopulation and not enough homes. Our local shelter kill 8,000 cats EACH YEAR and 5,000 dogs EACH YEAR, yes even puppies and kittens are being killed. That's just one of six shelters in one county! They have no choice when they can't get them adopted.
This is why we put up with our peeing cats and dogs, vomit, feces, hole digging, dirty house, pet hair, chewed furniture, barking, you name it...we know that we are the life boat they rest upon and so are you. MAKE SURE THEY ARE ALL SPAYED AND NEUTERED! IF YOU CAN - SPAY AND NEUTER ANY STRAY ANIMALS TOO!
shye shye you can purchase those liquid cleaners that takes away the urine smell on the floor
All the people who have suggested that slapping your dog a tiny bit are definitely white. "You can't hurt your kids. It's wrong." That's one of the reasons why kids in North America get away with a lot of things.
lol random guy thats funny
ain't that the truth
i agree with random guy. i wish that you could still punish kids in north America, then there would be less disobedience. As far as pets go i think that if it is a light slap on the rear then how is there anything wrong with it? they need to understand that what they did is bad. that is one way of telling them. same as rubbing there nose in it and scolding them. there is no difference you are still trying to make the same point.
Funny random guy because when i read the first "shock and awe" statement of the author mentioning "tapping" the dog on the butt or mouth, I thought the same thing. If our kids today were punished like we were, there would not be the violence, gangs, robberies, and craziness we have today with our youth. The same goes with the dogs that are allowed to run a house. Please remember people that these are animals. If you do not show them you are the boss somehow you will pay for it later. I am in no way saying to beat your dogs...however, saying "no no poochie wooochie wooochie" is not going to work either. Start with stern loud talking, and if that doesn't work, yes, a tap on the behind might be necessary.
I adopted a terrier from a shelter a little over a year ago. She was very timid when I first got her and I had so many problems house training her. When I brought her home she held it for nearly 14 hours because she was afraid to go around people. She would wait and quickly go when no one was around so I was very rarely able to catch her in the act. She's now 2 1/2 years old and after countless methods used (including positive re-enforcement and a crate) I finally resorted to taking her to the spot telling her no, a light spanking, and taking her outside. She hasn't gone in the house in months. I was afraid to traumatize her anymore after her shelter life but sometimes being firm is what it takes.
excuse me but why would u say that the people saying to hit your dogs are white. clearly a little tap is not going to hurt them some people are way to over sensitive
i have 1 year old chuwowa and she pees were she lays i have had atrainer i have yelled i put her in time out on the wee wee pad i take her out she will go on wee wee pad so she nos thats were to go but she pees and lays in it ........ i have blankets on my couches and she will pee and sit rite next to it.. im at aloss
i have a 2 year old collie x german shepherd i love her to bits but she will not stop peeing all over the house she seems nervous of my partner though she is not hit by us if you raise ur voice she pees, we r at a loss on what to do cause when u tell her off she will pee again
My Italian Mastiff is 10 months old, and he has an excitement and submissive urination problem. He's extremely sensitive to everything....Yelling, excitement, whatever,...it drives me insane, and tonight he actually was laying on the couch when I got home, (WHICH IS SO NOT ALLOWED) and I told him to get off, and immediately started peeing all over the place...this is an ongoing consistent problem, we only yell at him saying no or bad dog, unless he actually does something involving his attention, then we put him on his back and and look him in the eyes telling him no, or tap him on the butt or mouth saying hey, no no,...but I am losing my wits. We ignore him, it seems to work...but now that he is out of his crate when we're not home, he does bad things, and he gets scolded...enforcing his submissive peeing! I feel like I'm not getting anywhere anymore...HELP! We've had him since he was 12 weeks old, and he has always been shy and submissive. :(
My 6 yr yorkie is house trained on paper in the bathroom and has been doing her business on it for the six years I have her. Lately she started pooping and peeing in the house, as well as the paper where I praise her. My concern is why has she started doing this now, when she knows where to do her business. This is a new thing that is just happening. Can anything be wrong with her? I have taken her to the spot and loudly scolded her and today I gave her slaps on her behind and shouted very loud at her and she has been hiding in one spot all day. What happened to her??? Please help

I just posted my comments on this site, however would like to give my email address so that someone can reply to me.
It is gloriatds@videotron.ca Please help as I am totally confused by her behavior.
I loved it.. your instructions worked.. thank you.. my dog stopped peeing on my carpet
what is the name of the spray that smells like urine??
Yes u should tap their back side and yes u should think of tapping ur children or else they will walk all over u in life and probably kill a bunch of kids in a school in some American state as usual as russelle says white people u should beat ur kids stupid monkeys.
i have a presa canario. its 1 month old and is not barking how does long does it take so it could bark
Dog lover who wont put up with dog urine-
You aren't a disgrace. you are normal and sound like a good pet owner. So many Americans have taken physical reprimands which are a natural part of the world and how a puppy would learn with the pack and twisted them into something akin to concentration camp torture. I wish people particularly in chat rooms would stop with the hyperbole.
Anyway, thanks for the advice. I value it as I have tried only a reward based system (a click, a treat and praise for going outside), but this has only succeeded in teaching my dog that he will be rewarded for going outside. When the reward seems not worth it, he simply pees inside and all over the place. It's now time for punitive measures. People who only use a reward based system as many trainers (whom I admire) advocate, must have unlimited resources of time. No one likes showing there teeth, but if the end result is a happier dog/owner relationship, everyone wins.
My dog is house train to pee on the pee-pads. It was really hard to teach her that. she is a very small dog(4 pounds) and when is too cold she doesnt want to go outside:( . But in the summer I take her out 4 times a day and she doesn't do anything in the house..she holds it:))
My two month old male pekingese is paper trained but when he is left alone, he pees on the kitchen tiles and poops on a brown mat that's by the sink. I have scolded and said No in a loud tone when he goes on the floor and praised him when he goes on the paper. He only messes when I am not looking and therefore can not catch him in the act! It is so frustrating! He will pee on the paper and make a poo but for some reason feels he HAS to mess the tiles and the mat! Help Please!!!!
When my dog pee's on my roomates rug I pick her up by the scruff and get the towel or paper I used to clean the tinkle mess and I put it to her nose and I say loud and firm "NO! NO PEE" then I take her outside and place her on the ground and say "OUTSIDE" with the pee towel and if she pee's inside again I spank her and say loud NO! And that's when she gets outside time. Its not abuse. Animals are animals put on earth for human entertainment and I don't beat her and if I seem a little rough its because she's an animal and in the wild its rough
Wow, for all of you saying stuff like, "You're a disgrace for slapping your dog." or "You should never hit your dog." WHATEVER! You people just did not have a stubborn dog. If you want to get a little physical with the dog to show they are being bad but not hit the dog, grab the inner thigh and squeeze like they're being bitten. That shows you are the master. (If you have a toy dog, be careful about the squeezing.)They will whine because they are scared, not in pain because they have a high tolerance to pain. While gripping their inner thigh, where the nerve is, scold them or do your usual lecture. If all else fails, beat their butt. Normally, the inner thigh grip works for any form of misbehaving.
Three days ago, after almost a month of trying the schedule, rewards and praise, high pitch voice, etc., I finally broke down and lightly spanked my 16 week old pup and put her in her crate. I let her out after the hour, petted her and took her outside. She pottied. Came in and had her lunch. Waited five minutes then out and she did both. I also have a bell by the door and have been ringing it everytime we are ready to go out. I say, "Potty outside" and out we go. Could never get her to ring it though. It's been three days now and after the little spanking (you must catch them in the act so there is no confusion why they are in trouble) she's been ringing the bell (gets a treat) and stopped resisting going outside too. Go figure. Wish I could get in her little mind.
Wow....some of the stuff I've been reading is ridiculous. What is wrong with smacking your dog when it is used for the purpose of correcting behaviors? What is wrong with a little pain when it is used to for the good? These people who use smacking as a form of discipline aren't beating the snot out of their dogs, they aren't being cruel. In fact, they're doing what is necessary because they love their dogs. They are creating a consequence for an unacceptable action. It's natural. It's more natural than the "reward system" when it comes to dogs. People who are adamately against using these methods for training are not thinking with their full brain. No offence, but it's true. You're only thinking about how it makes YOU feel, not the overall objective. Think about it this way.....pain is necessary. Without, people and animals wouldn't be aware of what's good for us and what's not. That's all pain is. I watched the most heartbreaking thing on t.v.. It was about a girl who was born without the ability to feel pain. She never knew when she was hungry, she never knew when she was full, she never knew if something was hot and burning her. When she was a baby and teething, she chewed on her own hand. She couldn't feel it, and didn't know it was bad for her. She has no hand now. She also has one eye, because she took her other eye out when she was young and didn't know better. My point is.....you're all talking like pain is a bad thing. It hurts, yes, but it is vital to us. So if a dog owner chooses to use smacking as a form of discipline for the dogs own well-being....don't be so quick to put that person down. They're doing what they feel is best for the dog. Another thing to think about.....people who smack their dogs.....THEY DO NOT ENJOY IT, EITHER! Ramsay, I think you hit the nail on the head.."So many Americans have taken physical reprimands which are a natural part of the world and how a puppy would learn with the pack and twisted them into something akin to concentration camp torture."
I'm not knocking the rewarding method either, or saying it's more or less effective. I think when both methods are used in harmony, it creates beautiful results.I have a very well behaved nine month old puppy.
I have, and always will be somewhat physical to aid in training. I say somewhat physical because it is not right to beat your animal for any reason. Having said that, it only becomes physical when there is bad behavior. That is the key to ending unwanted behavior immediately. A sharp tap on the nose or back end grabs their attention by touch. This will condition them with an unpleasant response to bad behavior and the behavior will end.
I know I have haters now, but I really don't care what those people say or think, so don't bother writing to me about it. Dogs just want to please the Alpha dog, which is YOU. After all, what do you think wild pack dogs such as coyotes and wolves do to discipline their young? That's right. They get physical. It teaches them very quickly, so stop the bleeding hearts and the "bad owner" talk.
OK, now that I have said that, you MUST also show positive reinforcement with good behavior. This conditions them with a very good feeling and the good behavior will continue to grow and expand as they learn from you. I have been blessed with excellent dogs because of excellent training. Speak to them as you would anyone else in your family. One of my dogs (who lived 15+ years!) knew each of her toys by name, the difference in the sound of my car vs. my wife's car, knew all the basic commands, knew several tricks, walked by my side without a leash, asked to go out when she needed to and loved us unconditionally. She was corrected with bad behavior and rewarded with good behavior. That equated to an excellent dog.
Training is tough, but persevere and you will both be happy in the end. I am currently training a young dog who has been a challenge, but she is learning. Our older dog is also teaching her! She has been corrected and there are no mental scars. Proof lies in the fact that she is in my lap as I write this. They only know love.
Good luck!
I am the owner of a 16 month bitch staffordshire bull terrier.
When we first got her (at around 10 months) she was completely house trained (bar the odd accident) but over the last 2 months (since her last season) she is constantly weeing and pooing everywhere.
it started early hours of the morning and would go in the bathroom only, now she will sit infront of me and do it in any room she feels! She also used to give me a sign she needed
The toilet by either licking my face, or grabbing my shoe.
She knows she's in the wrong and cowards away immediately to her bed. She gets no little walks than ever before and gets plenty of love and affection.
I'm getting towards my wit's end as I cannot understand why she's gone backwards!
Can anyone help with idea's???
we can start by just disciplining with tone voice and words but if u don't see pet a little scared then this most likely will not work for this pet all pets have different personality like children all take different approaches to train. And if u must spank your pet this is not cruel, Its much more cruel to not do so and create a disobedient pet that u cant keep and ends up to a friend who cant keep then ends up in the pound and put under. Now what was more cruel a lil spanking or a pet no one can have as a house pet which is what it was born and created to be because its so bad now it ends up dead. So keep telling people not to pop there pets who are peeing after 6mths still in there home. lets bring all the peeing pets to u and u keep them from the ponds morgue let them disgrace your home don't spank them though stupid i spanked all my dogs ive had and cats they all loved me my 2 cats would act like a dog roll over sit and stay on command it must be done with love is the key just like kids ........
ok so i was reading through the posts and seeing what everyone was saying when i read lil stars post and he/she/it is dumb making hispanic people look illiterate if they cant use correct grammar thats on them and they need to go back to school! anywho back to the subject at hand, there is nothing wrong with spanking a dog or a child if half of u were spanked and taught right as children half the crime and other crap wouldnt be going on! my chidren are good children and they get spankins if they are bad enough! and there is a difference between beating ur child and disciplining them so stop judging people go look in the mirror and fix ur damn self
That's funny how a Hispanic is saying not to hit your dog. Your race is some of the some abusive people I know. Have u ever been to LA? Have you ever seen what gauchos do to cows? Yet you're so against lightly tapping your dog? That's hilarious.
I hear fapping your dog works better than slapping.
Fap! Fap! Fap!
Then he/she just falls asleep for the rest of the day.
i have a pack of 5 dogs.... sometimes it is completely necessary to give the dogs a little "spank" on their hind quarters so they who im scolding... if not they all think they are in trouble. i dont by any means beat my dogs I just give them a swat as hard as i would my 3 year old son. its not meant to hurt them, just to let them know i am the boss and i mean business. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT!!!
I have had dogs for most of my life and if you catch them in the act or them just being a ahole need a well deserved swat. All my critters respond positively and lesson learned, life is good. I had a 9 month old chihuahua that peed in the house because he was to lazy to go outside. Finally had enough, grabbed him by the scruff, screamed at him and slid him outside like a bowling bowl. He never did it again. I hate to be so harsh but sometimes you either do it or they end up in a shelter. Cannot and will not put up with bad manners or habits.
The only way a dog or any pet learns NOT to do something is by pain. The dog Shockers at the store? The Invisble fences? The work because the pet associates pain with the wrong doing. When my kid misbehaves I spank him and put him in the time out chair untill he stops crying. Guess what a I now have a 3 year old who listens, doesnt answer back, is potty trained, can read some, can write, is polite, is not lazy like your anti-spankers and your kids, he cleans his own room. I spank my dog daily when hes bad. I say sit he sits, i say pee he pees, i say poo he poos. Now if only this would work with our wives? :)
The truth of the matter is the people who dont believe in spanking are the ones who complain about other peoples kids who misbehave and steal, and most likely let there children and or dogs get away with murder.
Spanking is NOT ABUSE. Spanking is dicipline. Abuse is verbally or physically assaulting more than needed.
My dog, my son, the neighbors son, the neighbors neighbors son, Get Spanked, I got spanked, My sister got spanked, and guess what we are Very Successful in life, never had trouble, never did drugs, Own businesses.
Thanks to SPANKING we are not losers like most of your Non-Spanking peoples kids are.
So before you Anti-Spanking wankers make fun of someone or make crude comments, Why dont you get a few thousand volts from a tazer before you speak? I bet you wont do it again!
Have a Merry Chrismas! :)
my puppy pees all over the house. I'll walk her for three hours or leave her in the yard all day. As soon as I bring her in she pees on something of value. I tried the stern "no" without results. I've now resorted to old fashioned beat downs. I noticed when I slap the hell out of her and scream at her she pees on the spot. If this doesn't work i'll just scream and slap her before I bring her in. Should solve the problem. Besides it's a hell of stress reliever! woop woop
@lilstar Of course you have to slap. you can't teach without both positive and negative reinforcement, That's why alot of peoples kids don't listen anymore.
My dog pees all over the house, I hate it!
I AM going to throw him away
I love my dog.... He will stop peeing....
When my dog pees in the house, I kill it
Guys.. he didnt mean SLAP! he meant light slap/tap..
why would he tell u to slap ur dog hard? he meant that u must just tap your dog...
i have a 17week old puppy, he is a great playful cute little baby,i love him to bits but he has got a poblem with peeing & pooing in the house.
i got him from the rspca and he was in a kennal for at least 7weeks, so im quessing he is so used to doing his buisness in his sleeping area too.
but he does do his business outside, which i cant understand, i have pee pads down for him and he uses them aswell as going ouside, but he will go out side have a run about & come straight back in & do a wee or poo! i have seen him do his buisness outside but he still messes indoors, sometimes not even on the pee matt, he has got the freedom of a dog flap which he does use as i have two older dogs!.... am i doing something wrong, can any-one help me.
Ignorance. So much ignorance. If you want any living thing to fear you, hurt it. If you want any living thing to respect you, teach him. If you want anything to love you, love it. Hurting someone or something is almost always unnecessary. Because your dog doesn't pee in the house after you've hit him for doing so only proves you were not intelligent enough to find a kinder method of teaching. The same is true for parenting children.
I've been a certified professional dog trainer for 11 years and I've never needed to hit any dog. Touching or restraining them is required sometimes to get their attention but I love every dog I've worked with and wouldn't ever hurt them. Even the ones with behavior problems that have hurt me. They're animals. They don't know right from wrong and they can't be good or evil.
I also had trouble with my animal. I tried every trick in the book, nothing at all worked. My dog knew he was not suppose to go in the house but did it anyway. After 2 years I was fed up. I loved my dog but was not living like a nasty person. it took one good time of spanking that butt and he never went inside again. We had a wonderful relationship.

at first i got told to never smack the dog, but now people saying give him a little tap on the nose or bum, which iv started doing & still he does it inside!!!
PLEASE SOME-ONE HELP!!!
ALSO
he has terrible problems with his poos, iv tried sooo many things, change of food, not feeding him for 12 hours... everything that books, internet, even vets have adviced me but his poos are still so runny & green! can anyone help with my problems, i dont want to give him away but when iv got a young child to think of, i cant have him doing things like this x
also can any-one tell me how i can stop my puppy form eating his own poo??
Every ounce of this article should be ignored...and some of the methods the readers are resorting to are appalling and should be avoided at all costs. Hitting, yelling, spanking or otherwise punshing your dog will only result in damage to your dog's emotional well-being and destroy any relationship you have with your animal. Canine psychology and research tells us that a dog can ONLY understand a praise or a correction within 2 SECONDS of the action occurring...that's right, a mere 2 SECONDS. This means that if you see the dog do something you like (such as sitting when you say 'sit') you must offer a treat or praise within 2 SECONDS or the dog will not understand that sitting was what caused you to reward him or her. Likewise, if the dog does something undesirable, such as peeing/pooping in the house, they will NOT make the connection if you bring them back to the accident AFTER the fact and scold them. All they understand is that you are angry....THAT is the reason you may see your dog exhibit a 'guilty look.' Dogs want to please their owners and while your dog understands that you are displeased, he has no absolutely no idea why! If you want your dog to understand that peeing/pooping indoors is a no-no, YOU MUST CATCH THEM IN THE ACT. If you see your dog peeing/pooping in your home, quickly interrupt the dog by saying 'ut ut' and immediately scoop the dog up and take them outside to finish the act. IF YOU MISS THE DOG HAVING THE ACCIDENT AND FIND THE 'EVIDENCE' LATER, it is TOO LATE to scold the dog; you have missed the crucial 2 second window. Clean up the mess, let it go, and keep a closer watch so that you can catch the dog in the act next time. If you return your dog to the 'scene of the crime' and push their face into the pee/poop, scream, yell, hit or otherwise punish your dog, all you will succeed in doing is causing your dog to be wary and scared of you...that's all! When you leave your home or are unable to keep a close eye on your untrained dog, crate him or her. This is not at ALL bad for the dog if the dog is crate-trained properly. When you first get a puppy, take the dog out every hour and give them a chance to eliminate. It is helpful to pick an eliminate command and say this command as they are doing the act. Then give the dog a treat within 2 seconds of the dog finishing his or her business. The dog will begin to associate the word you say with what they are doing (peeing/pooping). The general rule is the puppies can hold their bowels/bladders 1 hour for every month they are old, i.e. a 2 month old puppy should be able to 'hold i' for 2 hours. Make sure to take your puppy outside after naps, right before bed, right after waking up in the morning and after each meal. There are all sorts of effective training methods that will get you the results you want without causing physical or emotional harm to your animal. Research 'positive reinforcement training'--there are a lot of valid suggestions online about how to utilize these methods. Please note: dogs that have been rescued from neglectful situations or puppy mill environments are significantly more difficult to housetrain since they have often been forced to eliminate in their crates or pens. When a dog begins to eliminate in the same place he or she eats and sleeps, it is a very difficult habit to reverse. This is common with some pet store dogs as well--it depends on how well the store (and kennels) are maintained. Hope this helps someone!

if the dog needs a clip for peeing in the house, then it needs a clip! Simple as.....Discipline is whats needed more of, in this world...............
We have a 6 yr. old poodle/terrier who has been pooping/peeing in the house lately. This started about a month ago and he does it when we are sleeping, so I never catch him. He goes out alot during the day and does his business, but for some reason he continues to do his business during the night. We need help.
i have a puppy and she does that all the time this web site really hellped me with my problem!!!!!!!!!!.
my dog knows her name missy,
and she pees in my room in my sisters room its getting out of control.
so i listend to this web site IT WORKED.
what is the name of liquid?
Ok so I have a 2 year old chiuaua and she still pee s every where in my house and I really dont want to get rid of because she is a really good playful dog and she is my baby but see my mom said she is gonna have to go if she pee s one more time because she mad are carpets smell like dog pee and I don't know what to do please help......
ok i have this much to say... if anyone here knows anything about dogs, you would know that they are pack animals first of all. and if u knew how a pack structure works u would know that there is an alpha dog. period just one alpha dog. and when this alpha dog wants to correct a pack member its highly unlikely that he/she picks up her paw and spanks another dog... the alpha dog uses tone of "voice" to correct pack members... she also bites them on the ear lol however since it would seem rather unusual to bite ur pet... they also use swift "taps" to the dogs side to get the dogs attention... i can also say this much...i have learned that if a dog is LIGHTLY tapped on the hind end ONLY when being caught in the act... it is effective... dogs dont know what they are being fussed for after the fact and rubbing their nose in it and "spanking" them after the fact will do nothing but cause the dog to hide from you and do its business... slapping the dog on its nose will only cause the dog to associate the human hand with pain and will quickly cause the dog to fear human contact like petting because the dog will think when u come at him with a hand that u are gonna slap it... if u choose to tap the dog to disrupt what it is doing u should use a rolled up newspaper as the dog will associate the newspaper with the spanking rather than the hand
Hi guys
I wonder how some of you are SILLY!!! crate train your dog, and they will learn to go potty in between 7 to 15 days depending on their breed.
Yes, negative reinforcement is necessary in some cases, but just if you have taught them where to potty and they get stubborn(which happens rarely). And you need to use this kind of reinforcement only once or twice!!! if with two times you did not see the result, start crate training all over again!!!
I live in the UAE and train SHEIKHES dogs! if my trainees do something wrong it has consequences for me, so when I speak about potty training I know what I'm saying!!!
good luck
oh one thing
before doing anything, you as a dog handler should learn how to be a pack leader. As I am working only as a one on one tutor I don't have a website, but there are plenty of good websites which ARE useful. read this one carefully and you'll see the result(I suggest this site to my clients): www.dogbreedinfo.com
I have a three year old German Shephard who in the last six months has decided to start urinating in the apartment. This started when I lived with a roommate who had a dog whom she let urinate everywhere. I had to start using puppy pads. I moved into a new apartment with a fenced in back yard. (BRAND NEW CARPET)I thought the problem was resolved because there was no other dog. The first month went perfect she did not go in the house once. She has started doing this again I have no choice but to use puppy pads when I'm not home. I know she doesn't have to go! I don't know how to correct this problem other than a crate which is not an option. PLEASE HELP BEFORE I KILL HER!
some dogs (like humans) are just incorrigable. i tried the discipline, the "light tap" until I did begin beating the hell out of her. tomorrow i'm getting rid of her. 13 years of misery. want the answer? don't get an animal!!! They're highly over rated and a pain in the ass.
If your dog is peeing all over the house it is most likely the dog. I have two siberian huskies.. One from a pup the other was a few months older when we get him.
Both are loved, treated well etc.. the dog that was few months older however has peed from day one. Sometimes you just get a dog with a bad bad bad habbit. As for not touching your dog or tapping.. I think that person has NEVER owned a big dog.. Its called dominance idiot!! not abuse.. !!! Im not sayign beat your dag but be dominant.. if your a push over like you sound you are then the dog will piss crap bite etc when ever they want.. dogs do it in a pack and you have to show them you are the boss. a light touch on the nose or tap NOT a hit and handling your dog to put them in a submissive submission will work in most cases.. if you listen to numb nuts then you will never get your dog to do anything but be the boss..
Dear Dog Owner and weeky. Screw these idiots who says you're abusing your dog for spanking it. First of all, my parents would beat me when i would do bad things. I learned from getting beat not to do that (being bad)ever again. For those of you who call spanking your pet abuse, were you never punished and spanked for being bad by your parents???? Give me a fucking break if you say "NO". All i can say is that you must of been one spoiled ass child.
If you were a parent and your child who is lets say (5 years old) Peed and pooped all over your couch everyday, would you let him/her continue to do this without punishing the child? I dont know about you but i would spank my child for doing that so you better be sure i will spank my dog as well. Even dogs bite other dogs to show they're alpha. So if mother dog bites her pup for being bad is that an abuse too? Give me a fucking break. I love my dog and i spoil the mess out of her but if she fucks up, i will spank my dog as i would my child.
What can u do to stop dogs peeing in house.We need to have it stopped we have tried white vinegar but they still

iv posted on here a few times, and finally my puppie is house trainned, now i didnt do nothing none of you said, i didnt hit my dog in any way, didnt shout at him, i simply just let him get on with it, and only priased him and gave him treats when he did do it outside, he soon realised that doing it outside means treats! took about 4months, and he has stopped eating his poo :) it all takes time, your puppie/dog will soon grow out of it. just be patient.
now i do still have 1 problem, my puppies poos are so sloppy, iv tried so many differnt types of food, but nothing is working can any-one help me with this?
I have 2 puppies a basset hound ( 6 months), and a pug (8months). I have had dogs my entire life, tapping a dog when they are in the wrong will only teach them that if they get caught they get into trouble so they find other places to do the deed. Puppy training pads are to be used for dogs that stay inside for a long period of time, or are to young to get out side fast enough. The idea of the puppy training pad is to SLOWLY move the pad until the pad has reached the area that you desire your dog to go. I have personally trained dogs both with and with out the training pads, training pads does make it more difficult as the dog may start to think that ANY mat be it a rug, floor mat etc is an ok place to pee but like anything with time the dog will get it.
I have found that when you have more then one dog trying to train the dog to go outside can be more difficult as the dog may rather play then go to the bathroom, then when the dog gets back into the house realizes that he has to go and goes. My two newest puppies will both go on the pee pad and out side, I use the go hear spray at first to teach them it was ok to go there, and now by the pads with the built in scent. When the pup went on any other surface that i did not approve of I cleaned it well and sprayed with a vinegar/ water mix 50/50 i found works best, it does smell a little but glade airfreshner kinda gets rid of the harsh smell. everything takes time, it takes time to teach a child how to read, how to write, how to go to the potty, so this is no different. Which every way works for you works for you.
I feel that hitting of any kind should be the last resort, after everything else has been tried. but what ever you choose i am sure that it will be the right choice for you. :)
sorry if there is any spelling or grammar errors ;)
@ kim
I have an older dog (american esky) he is sensitive to just about everything, I found that Nutro natural dog food help him with his poo problems. Maybe when you change the dogs food, you need to slowly change the food starting at about 1/4 of new food the first day mixed with the old food and so on. If you feed your dog Wet dog food that may be the problem the dog poo, some dogs are sensitive to the wet or moist dog food. it may take up to a month to see if the new food works, but I hope this helps.
I cant say this will work for you, but it help me with my aging family dog :)
Our puppy pees on newspapers located inside the house. Really, the best way is to watch the puppy for SIGNS (spinning, sniffing) If the puppy starts to squat, say "NO" and put her on the newspapers. Or, you can clean up the mess and put the mess on her newspapers and put the puppy there. It'll learn that that is the place where it can RELEASEL.
You should NEVER need to snack you dog....patience and persistance. Im sorry but i think you are a bit of an arse
thats fantastic my dogs listens to everything it syas....so he stopped peeing anywhere else...pamela you are insane for saying that..you shouldnt have wrote a comment on here..if you want to say something negative then do it somewhere else not on here........
I have a I have a year old pomeranian eskimo spitz she can get outside anytime but chooses to pee a few feet away from where the dog door is. We also have another dog a male pom/japanese chin un-fixed and she is fixed. what can I do if she doesnt stop im giving her away!
I have 2 pugaliers and they are now 2 and a half years old. They are brothers, one is very well behaved but the other just pees everywhere, I am beginning to think that is a jealousy problem. He knows he is in the wrong when he does it as he cowers and runs off, even if i have walked in after he has done it, he knows that he shouldn't do it.
I still dont really fully understand why he does it as he will go to the toilet out side and then come back in and pee somewhere in the house!
It is driving me crazy but I would never give him away! If anyone has any ideas then they would be very much appreciated!
Hi,
I have a terrier mix rescue dog from lousiana and she is turning 2 in November..... The problem is that she is house trained but when SHE is mad at us she pees all over the house! We don't know why but its pretty much everyday and It gets very tiring!!! I need Help! If any of you have tips that would be great!
Thanks A Bunch!
Hi to all my dear readers.. Wow.. It has been quite some time since Ive read the comments.. I didnt know I've caused quite some unhappiness..
Im sorry if I gave bad advice.. I'm only sharing what I did that worked for me and my 3 dogs. Please do not take it if you disagree..
However Im really glad and thankful for each of you dog owners that helped to share your tips and experience in helping others
Dogs owners who are experienced, please continue to comment here and help the rest who are really in need of training their dogs. It would be greatly appreciated!
Peace guys! All the best in training your puppy/dog! Greetings from Singapore! :)
I think I was a little too rough on my dog. I said "bad dog" too firmly. The little guy took it too hard and committed suicide. He overdosed on Alpo. It wasn't pretty.
ok for all of you who hate the "slapping" all dogs ar different. some need more disopline than others. sorry if some dogs arent perfect anfels like urs may be. if they were abusing there dogs they wouldnt have them. let them take the advise and if THEY feel its wrong theyll stop. we dont need ur stupid hating comments. GET OVER IT we dont need high school bull sh** on every d@mn website.
My dog is my best friend, and I beat the shit out of him when he was a pup for going in my house. I only had to do it a few times. No problems since. I also punched my friend in the mouth for dumping his plate of nachos in my lap as a joke. He's still my friend and my dog loves me. This stuff is just part of life, it's not violent or "abusive".
I have a 4 month old American Bulldog that just will not stop peeing inside. I know for a fact this dog won't learn from any technique tried. I leave the door open at night and put up a blockade right infront, so she can sleep inside, yet easily go outside to do her business.
The pup will go out to poo, yet come back inside to pee and sleep next to the pee.
This is disturbing, cause I'm being left having a cold house and the possibility of someone coming inside, yet the dog won't learn to pee outside.
I caught her in the act yesterday, and did yell (scream even) and had to punished her in the snout with a very gentle slap.
I hoped this would work, cause I couldn't catch her in the act before, since she would only pee inside at night.
To my shock, she pee'd again last night right next to her pillow which is getting really annoying since I'm left to clean up pee before I leave for work.
The dog knows she isn't allowed to pee inside, cause I can see her embarrassment in the morning when I'm angry and upset, yet she keeps on doing it every night.
And I know she's only 4 months, but we walk and jog every evening. and I leave the door open during the day which she uses to go out to pee and poo.
Why won't she just do it at night? is she lazy? dumb? affraid or just trying to annoy the hell outta me?
this is crazy i was looking for advice on my puppy and theres some mad people on about hitting children :):):):) i smack my dog if she pees in front of me and she shys away and will go to the door after the event obviously the person on this who dosnt believe in smacking is a hill billy flower power person
hey guys , i have a problem...my dog is 6months old and sometimes when i touch his neck or hug him he bites my hand ! How can teach him not to bite?I tried holding his snout closed with my hand when he bit me but it didnt work.
oh there is sth else i wanted to say .whenever he pees or poops on the floor, i hit the floor with a rolled newspaper near his legs in order to teach him not to do that and then i put him on a newspaper and tell him that you should pee here.Do You think That This Is Effective?
I think people like you should be banned from even forming an opinion-IT IS NEVER OK TO HIT A DOG OR ANY ANIMAL. You are a pathetic excuse of a pet owner.
Please help I have a 8 wk old puppy stray & he pees like.20 times a day I also have a 11 month.old & he pees in the living room & I have to hold kadia to clean it up I got him to pee on the pad today once but nkw he wont I dont know how to train jim I scold him & say no puppy & touch his fur I dont slap or pat but it doesnt help
A lot of angry people here!
If you disagree with swating your dog to teach them then say so like an adult instead of ranting like a child pls and maybe put in some of your own advice instead of just complaining about other peoples advice =) your not being productive,reasonable adults and you'll be ignored like you deserve.
Also lets not say Americans don't disipline their kids =) Some of us do and the first time my son told me after a spanking "My teacher said its child abuse to spank me" I picked up the phone and offered to call child services for him. He's 18 now and while hr isn't perfect,as none of us are,he doesn't steal,cheat,beat people up,do drugs or any other bs like that.While the spanking haters tend to have wild children who do all the above.
As for the peeing dogs...if you don't want to swat them then find out what they hate, a sound,a certain room,being left alone...what ever and do that as punishment.Either way there has to be punishment and "No!" Just doesn't cut it in my experience.
EVEN the best dog trainers tell you a sharp touch when nessesary tells your dog who's boss =)
THANKS
What happened to watching your dog for signs that it is going to urinate/deficate (running around in circles, sniffing the ground) and then immediately taking it outside? I have three dogs at home ranging in age from 7 to 11 and all three were trained using this method. And to the person who said to rub their noses in it - seriously? Dogs cannot make the link between something that happened ten minutes ago and what is happening now. Rubbing a dog's nose in its own urine only teaches it that you do strange things for no apparent reason.
Three dogs, four years old, let outside about 10 times a day to run in fenced yard and they still pee and poop inside!
You really do need to use rewards and punish by nose rubbing/verbal corection and a good slap on the ass.if the dog pissed on your bed recently, he/she know as soon as you look at the dog while near the area.they aren't being confused.as long as it was recent.I feel, for most dogs, only positive or only negative reactions/training are what confuse the dog.that's grey area.they need black and white.
Great advice, thanks! I have a small 5 month old puppy. The breed is unknown because I picked her up from the streets. Anyway, she wont learn at all! When she was smaller, she would pee on the newspaper just fine but now shes really out of control. She pees on the beds, on the floor, everywhere! I take her out to the laundry room in the morning and cover the whole floor in newspaper, tie her up and let her eat and drink and then leave her for a while to do her business. But it seems like she wants to poo ANYWHERE besides the newspaper! So, I will consider looking for the liquid that attracts the smell to pee on the newspaper. Thanks.
I have to say that slapping your dog is a good way of pinishment evan tho it hurts then they kbiw what they did wrong
dog trainer and behaviorist or whatever your name is.
I don't think I have read that much shite in a long time. A dog has a two second window before it forgets what it has done does it. oh fucking really.
why don't you show your dog a full bowl of food and then take it outside for 30 seconds and then see how quickly it remembers its bowl of food. I am guessing it would be pretty instantly you idiot. its a dog not a goldfish.
now back to the original point. by all means try the nice give the dog a treat and praise it way to toilet train your dog. but if that does not work don't let these idiots make you feel guilty if you have to slap your dog on the ass to teach it right from wrong.
I have tried the pussy footing around technique with 3 of my dogs and it never worked on any of them. As soon as I moved to the slap on the ass technique within a week they were all pretty much trained with exception of a few accidents.
now before you feel guilty ask yourself how dogs get disciplined in the wild.? I can assure you dogs in the wild are not armed with stupid clickers or treats. they get bit and barked at.
that's how they learn in the wild and sometimes that's how they need to be trained in the home.
I have a four month old puppy and I'm trying to potty train her bit when I take her outside she won't go but she goes in the house when I'm not looking and it's never in the same area either its all over the place
It is NEVER okay to spank your dog. The arguement that "But do you spank your child?": goes out the window. DOGS ARE NOT HUMAN CHILDREN! It's a wonder they haven't killed you yet. Like someone else said, a simple and firm "NO!" does the trick. Also... it's all in the energy you emit.
Like the dog whisperer sayd, "Calm, assertive energy".
My dog is almost 10ten months now, she has been trained on the pee pad for 4months. We recently got her spayed, now she is peeing everywhere but on the pad. Has anyone else had this experience?
My Husky has never peed in the house, but housebreaking him was a total pain. We got him when he was six weeks old. The first thing I did when I got him home was to carry him to the portion of my backyard that I wanted him to use. I think the key was my carrying him and not letting him walk or run. I did this every time I fed him, gave him water and whenever he got up from a nap. I did this for several weeks and he seemed to pick it up pretty quickly. Whenever I would take him out, he would run to the designated area and relieve himself. It was a very tedious task, but I believe it was well worth it. I also made sure to keep this area free of poop. He is 9 yrs. old and still has not messed in the house.
First of all, when I was a kid my mom used to back hand me any time I did anything wrong. I learned from it and didn't do it again. And we have a great relationship and it doesn't make me love her any less. Kids crave discipline just like dogs do. No one is talking about beating dogs, all they're talking about is training dogs and how they did it and OBVIOUSLY it worked. Who are you to judge. Stop getting you panties in a bunch. Dogs are very much like children and if you think a dog is a pet, I could easily say shame on you.
When training our military working dogs slaps on the nose is educated training. So this man is doing nothing wrong. If its good enough for a dog the military considers more valuable then a soldier then it's good enough for common mutts.
I have a female yorkie,about 3 years old, she was housetrained, then we got a another dog and all of a sudden the yorkie started peeing and pooping on my couches and beds. I dont know what to do anymore to stop her from doing it. Can anyone please please give me some advice?
i have kept two dogs for years and have always had top dog problems this is the price we pay for having two dogs they both like to leave their marks around the house !!!

Dog's don't necessarily need to know their name to house train them. You shouldn't get ugly with a dog that has peed in an area that you don't want unless you see the dog doing it, otherwise it serves absolutely no purpose. If you train the dog to potty on puppy pads or newspaper, you're basically telling the dog that it's ok to potty in the house.
There are a number of methods that work better. No offense, as these have seemed to work for you. They're just not the best methods to use.
