my 4 months old puppy has no problem peeing in the right spot, we've been training her for two weeks, and she's been doing well. Yet, unlike peeing, she's not willing to poo on the pee-ing pad. And it's obvious she's a quick learner, but why is she not willing to poo in the same place?

i have four cats, 3 female one male. they don't have a litter box they just go outside which they are very good at. the problem is when i took on one of them, a female and l already had the others the spraying started and its going on constantly. the newer one (although its been well over 4 years or so) and an existing female do not like each other at all and they seem to be the main sprayers, anyway the newer one is now going to a new home just for her will this stop the problem? or are the others just used to pissing all over my house now? how can i stop this, its driving me and my nose nuts.....

10 month pup is house trained but twice this week peed right beside me. Once beside my bed while i was standing & last night in my bed while I was trying to fall asleep. I figure he's trying to express something, can anyone shed some light. He is outside all the time so i know its not urgent matter so to say.

my puppy just pees whenever... and doesn't hold it at all. How do I get her to "wait". I have been taking her outside religiously every hour but she still pees inside in between times. I have read that puppies can hold their pee for up to four hours (and she is good at night) but she HATES her daytime crate (her night crate is bigger and upstairs) and just pees and poops in that smaller crate when we tried that, so we are now confining her to a small space and taking her outside but, no luck! I have tried the praise and treats when she goes outside (which she loves) but she still pees all over the place inside . I think the only reason she doesn't poop inside is because i take her out so frequently . PLEASE HELP!!

My cat is about 14 years old. Last year he had gotten a hold of a stink lizzard and every since then he will not pee in his litter box. ( He will go poo in it though) If we leave him in the house over night he goes pee on a towel that was left on the floor in either bathroom. Now mind you he comes and goes as he pleases (by this I mean if he wants in he can come in if he wants out we let him out. He has never had this problem before and nothing has changed. He did get really sick after eating the lizzard I had in the vets office for a week straight afterwards. So can someone please give me some helpful hints. He doesn't seem to have a problem peeing I see him go all the time out side with out any problems. It seems ot me like a good healthy flow.

I have a six year old soft coated wheaten terrier and he recently decided to start peeing in the house. He was fine for the first five years for not going in the house but for the past couple months he has been peeing on every corner in the house. The vet prescribed him with medication incase of a bladder infection but he has still been doing it frequently in the house. What can we do to stop this?

I have a 9 month old golden retriever and she pee's every night. We remove her water about 8pm and she gets taken out for a pee before we go to bed. The carpets are cleaned to remove the urine smell to prevent marking and yet she still does it. She never pees in the house during the day. I want to avoid a cage as we have another dog, a 5 year old flat coat retriever, who is perfectly behaved.
Please help!!!

My cat poos in the bath tub sometimes. even with clean or new litter. I have used the same kind of litter ever since she was born.
besides keeping the door shut, how can I break her of this?

Hi, I have a 7 month old tom and for the last 4 weeks he has been peeing by the front door, I have replaced the carpet there twice now but he still does it?

I have two puppies. They are six months old. Kashi my male is a much faster learner than Miya my female. I have used an expen where they are concerned. While in the pen Miya knows where to go but as soon as she is out of the pen she pees where she pleases. I do take them outside in the morning and afternoon after a meal and late night before bed. Kashi has learned how to use the Ugodog potty system inside the house. I do see some bad habits picked up by him from her when she has accidents in my rooms. I hate to pen her and keep giving him freedom as it does not allow them to play with one another. Help what should I do. I also take these pups to work with me. I have Ugodogs everywhere in my home and at work.

I have an 11 month old Doberman who is very house trained. Has no accidents at home and is very good. I take him to my neighbors house to play with her 8 month old Retriever. Well they play in her basement and play well. We leave them alone, when we go to check on them there is poop on the floor. Happened several times. Even after cleaning it up. How can we stop them from doing this? They are both males.

Hi

My 4 yr old male Daschund has a yard. When I put him outside he will not go to the bathroom. He sits at the door and barks. When I go outside with him in the yard he will poop and pee right when I get out there. What can I do to make him go to the restroom without me outside with him?????

I have had my 3 month old pup for 4 weeks now and she will do her wees outside, but not her poops, which she does in the same spot in the house! I have tried putting her poops in the garden, but she still does them indoors! Help, what can I do?

My pup has a eat her own poop problem. We take her out several times a day even have an xtra lg fenced in area for her in the back yard. She will still poop in her on bed at night I heard vinager is the best cleaning defence to deter her from continueing this. Any more advice?????HELP Its Gross We are more concerned in the poooping in her own crate that she sleeps in then the eating problem

We have a sweet inside dog who was accidentally left in our fenced-in back yard all night for just one night. Ever since then, she has left a pile of poop in the girls' bedroom where she sleeps. We figure she's doing this some time during the night. It seems that her bodily functions got mixed up somehow. This is the only thing we can figure. Any ideas on how to retrain her poopy patterns? Thanks.

My 2 year old yorkie has virtually ruined every carpet in my house. Short of giving him away I am desperate to remove the odor and start training him the correct way. I bring him outside every two hours but he will wait until he comes in to poop. Do you have any ideas on how to get the smell removed and begin him on a training program that works. I'm desperate.

She used to be at me to go out the moment I woke up, and I was never mean to her but I did say 'no, leave me alone' for a few minutes so I could wake up. Slowly, slowly, she 'learned' not to ask for a long time after I wake up (or so I'm guessing).

I always take her out right before bed, but sometimes I do not sleep right away, and by the time I do I sleep for a long time. Like 12 hours (health problems). STILL she does not ask to go out.

She will go *18* and act like it's not a problem. That is not usual, for I will take her whether she asks or not, but she did this today.

I woke up when it had been 12 hours since she had last gone. I had not really slept so planned on doing a pee break and going back to sleep.

Now I know this is bad, I'm just explaining and looking for input - she didn't indicate a need to go out. So I just drifted back off. By the time I woke up again, it had been 18 hours and still she was not even asking to go!

I took her anyway, of course, but how can she do this and why? I have never been mean to 'teach' her not to bother me when I am first awake. I feel like maybe she is just so wanting to please that even just me ignoring her in the very first few minutes of the morning 'taught' her this.

What happened today is not normal, but on normal days it will still be like 12 hours that I sleep and she will not ask to go out for two more!

Is she harming herself to overly please me?

:( my catbox makes my eyes burn when I scoop it...

My cat is freaking out, two days ago she stepped in poo so my new roomate of 2 weeks washed off her feet and bottom, since them she has been acting strange, she has been hiding and has mauled my roomates hand. She went the bathroom on my couch and growls whenever I pick her up or my roomate and I pick up her bed with her on it. She was more lively this morning but when my roomate tried to move her bed she bit him again and went the bathroom in her bed. We have speculated why she is doing this but I wondered if anyone had any advice. We think she has been acting strange becuase my roomate moved in and she is no longer allowed in the bedroom, and that she no longer has my full attention. Any advice would be appreciated.

my kitten keeps going to the toilet every 5-10 mins dnt know wts wrong with her dnt know if she is trying to poo or pee but whn she does she has diarrhaeo

we just got this dog a week ago, and we take her out every 4 to 5 hours durung the day. we let her sleep at the bottom of our bed, then she pissed in the bed, their have been times were we see some spots on our couch. but she pisses outside every time we take her out. but when she pisses on the couch, she normally is laying down on the couch, not bending over as female dogs do! and laying down in the bed. so i put some boxes on the couch, to keep her from getting up there. we nornally go to bed between 9 and 10, and then i will take her out between 7 and 8 am. the spots on the couch is normally during day.

My friend gave me her mini rat terrier. It was trained to go pee & poop on pee pads by their front door, but it won't go on the pads in my house, it goes everywhere else! It refuses to go potty outside & just holds it till it gets back in. I've even taken it on long walks. When it goes in the house, I tell it no, and take it to the pee pad, and have put poop & pee on the pad, but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

I have a 14 week old female Cavalier who has taken to peeing on my bossess pool cover, whenever she's been alseep i take her to the grass and sometimes she will go there but for the most part she just pees on the pool cover! I've tired the pet repellant but she doesnt care and even spends time sleeping on it now! HELP!

My pu pjust turned a year old and for the most part is housebroken, but the problem is he urinates when you go to put a leash on him (if he has held it for more than 3 hours) when i come home, thinks he's in trouble, etc. if that wasn't bad enough, he is just getting lazy with holding it, especially whe nhe wakes up, and keeps peeing on my blankets, couch, parts of the floor. i don't know how to get a handle on it anymore, he just keeps getting worse!

Hi we have just brought home a 14 week old kitten she has been living outside since she was born. She keeps pooing in her bed and weeing next to her food bowl and she has also done it in her bed aswell. we are very new to this and would like some advise on how to teach her to go in the litter tray.

We were out last night and left our 5 year old standard poodle home alone for 9 hours. He urinated on the corner of an oriental carpet. He has never done this before. Aside from getting the carpet clean (and never leaving him home alone for so long), what should we do to make sure he doesn't repeat the behavior.

I ADOPTED A NEUTERED, 3-1/2 YR. OLD FEMALE CAT FROM THE SPCA 3 MONTHS AGO. I HAD NO PROBLEM WITH HER LITTER TRAINING, WHICH IS KEPT IN THE BATHROOM WITH HER FOOD & WATER, UNTIL LAST WEEK WHEN I SMELLED POOP AND FOUND IT IN LIVING ROOM WHERE MY 20 YR OLD CAT, RECENTLY PUT TO SLEEP, HAD A POOP ACCIDENT. I HAD THOROUGLY SCRUBBED THAT AREA, SO I WONDERED WHY AFTER 3 MOS. SHE SUDDENLY DECIDED TO POOP THERE. TWO DAYS LATER SHE POOPED ON A CARPET 1 FT IN FRONT OF LITTER BOX. THE BOX IS MY OLD CATS BOX, BUT WITH FRESH LITTER. I'VE HAD THE VET LOOK AT HER FOR FUR BALL COUGHING AND THEN FOR A SNEEZING COLD SINCE SHE WAS ADOPTED. THE VET THINKS SHE IS HEALTHY AND GAVE HER A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH WHEN I FIRST TOOK HER THERE SO I COULD HAVE HER IN MY APARTMENT. PLEASE HELP ME - I HAVE FALLEN COMPLETELY IN LOVE WITH HER. I HAVE SPENT A SMALL FORTUNE ON 'SWEETY-PIE'. P.S. HOW OFTEN ARE THEY SUPPOSE TO POOP? YOU'D THINK I'D KNOW AFTER 20 YRS WITH ONE CAT, BUT I NEVER PAID ATTENTION, I JUST SCOOPED THE BOX. IT'S SATURDAY AND SHE LAST POOPED ON THURSDAY. {IN FRONT OF BOX).

Hello everyone! can someone out there please help us.

She has done it 3 times now and once she even did it when all the doors wee openand she could have used the litter tray in the laundry...the laundry is the next room over.....what can we do?!?! the tortie was fine to poo in the laundry during the day and she used the litter tray when it was in the actual room....help us please

i have two male kittens and only one of them will pee on the bed as soon as i let him out of the kennel. i don't leave them in long unless i have to work. i have tried sprayin him with a mist of water and that doesn't work.. i don't know what to do.. i go through sheets and comforters like crazy.. any advice on how to train him not to do that.

The ONLY solution to this problem is to put pets in an OVERSIZED pet porter when inside. They need room to stretch out and feel comfy inside. This establishes their area indoors. Put food and water outdoors. A pet's natural balance is to do their business outdoors before eating or drinking or vice versa. Most pets in the winter time or rainy days find it convenient to potty indoors but you have to keep strict reign of who's boss of the house. Pets know there is an indoor potty room for you so they think it's the natural thing to go indoors. They don't know how to use the toilet indoors so you have to teach them their potty room is outdoors. While they are in the pet porter, eliminate any urine odors in the home and this should put a stop to indoor pottying. If you live in an apartment or condo, you might consider a large caged area on your patio with a litter box and put them in it with food and water. Unaltered pets are especially bad about "marking" their territories. Multiple pets in the home are bad as well, it's a jealoousy thing about territory or dominance. You can eliminate the problem by putting them both in their place-outdoors in a fenced area to get it out of their system.

My Hubby and I rescue pets and we put a stop to this problem this way. When supervised indoors, we let them out of their crates and get them pottied first thing, then we can work on training and behavior and enjoy their personalities. The pets are more relaxed and enjoyable when they have everything out of their system. GOOD LUCK and hope this helped.

Our cat Sammy has been peeing out of the litter box ever since we got our second cat Jazzy. They get along just fine but ever since she (Sammy) has slowly been doing it more often. Now Jazzy has been doing the same thing. I'm starting to think about sending samy away and if Jazzy keeps it up her to.

I have a 6 yr. old and 3 yr old King Charles Spaniels. Recently they have been peeing and pooing in the house, even when I am home. They are let out frequently and before this were totally housebroken. Aside from crating them except for when they go outside I don't know what to do. Help!

I adopted my cat about two months ago. Everything was fine. I went on a short vacation, came back to her not pooping OR peeing in the litter box. She poops & pees right next to it. She never had a problem with the litter, before. And it's clean litter. I don't know what to do!

just be for christmas we made our cat start pooing outside by taking his litter tray away and he did great for about 2 or 3 weeks. Now every mornin i wake up to a nasty suprise! No matter how much i tell him off, i have even rubbed his nose in it, but he just never learns. What can i do?

I have had my cat for 4 years now. She has always used her litter box until recently. I have researched this OVER AND OVER and I just don't know what to do. She's a quiet cat and is use to really only me. She doesn't like other people all that much however through the years she's gotten so much more social and she comes out and she lets people touch her. I have always had roommates so it's not like it's just been me and her completely. Recently we had a friend sleeping on our couch for about 4 months and my little sister has moved in with me and is sharing my room with me dorm style. My sister has always been nice to my cat but for some reason she's stopped using the litter box in the room. She will go to my roommates room and use her litter box but not mine while it's in the room. I thought maybe it wasn't clean enough so I cleaned it, then thought maybe she likes that litter better... or the box... now we have the same box & litter and still she won't use it in the room. I've moved it around in the room and still she wont. I have put her in the garage and left her and she will use it when she's in there!!! She poops (doesn't pee) on my sisters bed any time we leave her. I have been keeping her in my room to make sure she doesn't go on anything else. She must be holding her pee until I let her out and she sneaks into my roommates room. I hear her using the litter box in there. I don't understand what's going on. I know she must be upset but how do I stop her from doing this? I have to turn my sisters bed on its side everyday. I just want her to use her potty again. I know she doesn't have a uti and she's good health wise. I just need a good fix to get her to be okay with using her potty again. She did also go on the couch once when the guest was sleeping on the couch (well she went poop where she liad.) Does she not like guest LOL??? Thanks for the suggestions in advance!

We rescued a male dog over Thanksgiving. The vet says he is 3-4 years old and a black lab mix of some sort. He continuously marks our basement and anyone's house we take him to. We have done the "strict watching" tactic, closing doors and following him around, and we have caught him in the act, but it still hasn't helped.

Aside from this he is a wonderful dog, the problem is he's peeing all over my new fully remodeled home and after giving him a month I am at my wits end. He has been to the vet, there are no medical issues. We go outside with him to pee (he just sits by the door if we don't) and we praise him when he goes in the correct spots. Any thoughts? Is there a smell dogs don't like? I have read if you spray citrus it will keep cats away, anything similar for dogs?

I keep my dog on the same schdule all the time but he just keeps on peeing in the house. I really would like to stop this problem because I have a really large house and sometimes it's hard to find the places he pees.I mean even sometimes he will make a spot of pee right after I take him out. I always let him know he did wrong I mean he's peed on my bed before.I'm really desperate for help I need advice because I love my dog but my family can't take it anymore.

I have a 7 month old nuetered male kitten...he is actually a manx..(born without a tail). He has always had a gas problem....very foul smelling at that. For about two months now his anus is always poopy, and when he sits, it gets on whatever he sits on:P. I have been wiping with a tissue or wet rag and I am so done with doing that. What can I do? What is wrong with my cat? I have another kitten...male, nuetered, 7 months old, domestic long hair, and he is perfectly normal. I am going to attempt to bath him in a sink of warm sudsy water, because his anus is sore and slightly bleeding, I don't want to hurt him. Please help if you can.

I have 3 cats. Lucy decided she doesn't like the litter box and poops outside of the litter box all around the box and anywhere on lanai tiled floor. She recently started to pee in the sink. Great right room. I have cleaned the litter box out with bleach and I purchase new ones all the time thinking the smeel will not come out. I also purchase x-large boxes of any type and size. I tried to change the type of litter and two of the three do not like that change.
