Subject: How to stop my puppy from peeing and pooping in the house.

I have a Tea Cup Chawhywa. She is 4 montha old she use to go to the pad a poop and pee. Lately she has been going around the house. So we confined her to her doggie cage to try and teach her she did wrong. After letting her out she will go on the pad the we have sprayed with the house traing solution. But after that she will choose to go wherever she is around the house. Mt husband has yelled at her because he gets frustrated cleaning up her poop and urine. What went wrong she did so good when she was younger! How can I retrain her so she can run around the house again?

Subject: Re: toilet training

It's easy to train a kitten how to use a litter box. All you do is take the cat to the poop, and in a veyr stern voice say"No! BAD" and hold his/her nose to it! then take one of the kitten's front paw and use it in a scooping motion-as though you were digging a hole in the litter...this lets that cat know that it is supposed to cover his/her business after pooping, moreso in your case where he/she should be doing his business to begin with. This will work I assure you! Good luck!

We have had Charlie for about a month now and he will not go to the bathroom unless we walk out with him and tell him "go potty, go potty". If we let him outside and do not go with him, he will pee on the deck. We tried letting him outside and blocking him off the deck and he just stands there. He was in a kennel the first five months of his life where he peed on his kennel floor. He was left alone from 4 pm until 8 am. Please help!

Subject: new dog--cat spitefully urinating

My husband and I just brought a new dog home from the shelter on Sunday and we have 3 cats. My youngest, Murphy, who is just over 1 yr, didn't deal too well with our new addition. Cooper, our new pup, ran right up to Murphy trying to sniff him and make new friends, and Murphy took off and hasn't come back downstairs since. My husband caught Murphy urinating on our bed tonight as he was getting ready to go to bed. What can I do to stop this? Thank goodness I have a waterproof mattress pad on the bed since we just bought a brand new bed!!! Murphy has always been the bully to my other 2 older kitties and I find it hard to believe that he is afraid of Cooper who is super friendly and not a very big dog. He just wants to play. We also had a dog when I brought Murphy home from the shelter, who we have since had to put down due to illness/old age. She was much more laid back, probably due to her age. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me out? I don't want the spitefulness to continue, and I really don't want him to continue to be afraid either.

Subject: Peeing in an undesired location

I have a mixed breed puppy and I had her 98% potty trained and we moved to a new house. At our old house she had a doggie door that went straight outside, now it goes into the garage where she can go through a man door to get out. The problem is she keeps peeing in the garage. She rarely has accidents in the house and won't go when taken outside. She simply waits until she can go out the doggie door and into the garage. How do I correct this behavior?

Subject: Puppy training

My 10 week old black labrador puppy has been living outside since we got him a week ago, but we bring him in for a few hours at night. Whenever he is inside and needs to go potty, he goes to the door and I take him out and lead him to the grass. He happily does both number 1's and 2's on the grass and then comes back inside. This is also the case when I am outside with him during the day - he happily goes to the toilet on the grass.

The problem is that at night, or during the day when we aren't outside, he does both 1's and 2's on the concrete. He has found a spot in the garage behind my car where he is determined to poo every time, and will pee anywhere on the patio concrete. I have cleaned it up and scrubbed the area clean, and I praise him heaps when he goes on the grass, but as soon as we aren't with him he goes on the concrete again! It's a pain to clean up and I don't know how to stop him going there (we can't be with him every minute of the day, and even when we are outside he doesnt go there, so he must know its naughty!)

Any ideas?

When I am at work i cannot leave her in her kennel all day, so I let her play on the porch. She has learned to go in the corner of the porch, and lately, especially late at night, I will let her on the porch to go potty since we're on the third floor. When i am home and she is inside, there is an accident almost 3 to 4 times a week! she did well when i kennel trained her, but I now cannot leave her in there that long, what do I do?

Delicate - the cat will probably keep a good distance from the puppy when it arrives and normally won't attack the puppy unless the puppy wants to play - then the cat may get nasty and scratch the puppy. Other than put a crash helmut on the puppy, you just have to hope that they can get on !!!

Hey, the best way is to put a baby door between them, one in one room and the other in the next. Let them sniff each other, but don't tolerate growling or hissing. You can feed them together, beside each other, or play with both of them at the same time. Give your cat someplace high where he/she can escape to if the dog pursue's he/she. Eventually, they will realize that they can get along fine

Subject: Re: cat

I have done this twice. Here's the best thing to do: Put your puppy in a crate before bringing him into the house. This will not only help the puppy feel secure, it will allow the cat to investigate the new pet in safety. Leave the puppy in the crate until the cat has explored and found him. Introduce the puppy to new rooms in the house one at a time. Each time the puppy is taken to a new room, close the door, (then let puppy out of the crate) so the cat can't come in and the puppy can't go out. Feeding them side by side is great too. If your cat is young, you'll find that the two pets will likely become the best of friends. An older cat will tolerate a new dog but will not give it much attention. Don't be surprised if you find them napping together in the future though.

Tell her, that she can't expect for the puppy to be fully housetrained at the very beginning. Its like asking a baby to be potty trained. If you realy need it, you could take her to classes to help, or crate train her and fence off a place in the back yard for her to stay.

Subject: Re: new owner

Definately crate train her. This will become a place where the puppy feels safe. It's also a great place for it to sleep at night if your mom is worried about the carpeting (although I bet you are hoping the dog sleeps with you). Do NOT allow the puppy to sleep with you until it is crate trained. It will whimper and whine the first few nights, hoping you will allow it up with you. DON"T give in. This is very important. Once your dog is potty trained and goes to it's crate on it's own, showing that it has come to like the crate, then you can finally allow it to sleep with you if you wish. It's very hard to wait that month or so but it is well worth it! Another suggestion, have the puppy ring a bell hanging on the door knob and then put it out... mine is ring right now...gotta go! Good Luck!!!

If you need, you could put puppy pads on the floor. If you catch her in the act, pick her up and take her outside and praise her when she goes. Never, EVER punish your pup. She will then go somewhere else, where its harder to find, like in a corner. Clean it with some paper, and take it outside. The scent will make your pup more likely to go there. On the other side, you have to disinfect the spot where your pup eliminated, or else she will go back there.

He was very well trained.
Although now he is starting to go through a stage where he barks constantly at us when he wants attention. So we tried using a squirt bottle which is now working.
Although now when he feels he is being ignored or we leave him in the house for a couple seconds while we run outside he will pee and poop in the house. Even after going outside only 5 to 10 minuets before.

Your dog probaly thinks that it is ALPHA, the leader of the 'pack', your family. Therefore, he thinks that he is entitled to everything, and can go wherever he wants. Try some alpha training. Place your pup on his back, and place your hand over his stomache. THis is a submissive position in Dog World, because you are exposing his tummy, the most sensitive part of his body. Do not scratch, tickle, or rub his tummy. If he squirms, growl, deep in your throat. When he is quiet, release him. Dont help him up.

Just take the cat poop and put it in the litter box. Then show the kitten where the poop is. Cats have a natural instinct to bury their feces, so to your kitten a potted plan might be an ideal place to go to the bathroom, since it's sort of like going outside. If you've moved the poop a couple of times and the kitten still doesn't go in its litter box, I would suggest changing the litter to a different type or brand. Also, fill a spray bottle with one half water and one half vinegar and spritz that around the bottom of your plants. Its won't hurt the plants, and only a spray or two will be enough to deodorize the soil.

Hi, once you get the kittens, put them both in the litter box right away. Show them where it is. Most of them will stay in there till they are ready to come out. Having kittens is fun but I suggest you make sure your toilet paper and paper towels are unable to be reached and anything like curtains, use a spray bottle with water in it. They learn real fast what they can and can not do. Have fun.

Clean it up. Disinfect, because the smell will make him want to go in the same place. If your realy worried, you could confine him to a kennel, and take him out immediatly when you wake up. The kennel should be big enough that he can stand up and turn around, but not enough that he can eliminate in one corner and sleep in the other.

Hi I adopted a lab/rott mix from a rescue in Feb. Maybe once or twice when she had been sleeping I noticed she had leaked a little urine. Dog park opened and now she goes swimming. Problem has gotten to flood proportions. Took to vet, vet put her on antibiotic but her urine test didn't show infection. Vet said spayed females sometimes have leaking problems. So do I have the vet put her on meds? I have heard they sometimes cause exitability.
Ideas? Thanks!

Subject: Re: dog peeing after swimming

We had a similar problem with a 10 year old female lab mix who was thoroughly house trained but started having problems....large problems!
After doing blood tests to rule out infections, our vet put her on the medication (I forgot the name) you describe, and we never had another problem. She lived to 14 without any more accidents and we never noticed any side effects. Our vet did tell us that it doesn't always work as well for every dog but I would certainly try it. Good luck!

Subject: why?

My dog is 8 years old. He has never urinated or pooped in my house, until 3 days ago on our guest bedroom bed. He jumped up on the bed and urinated and pooped all over it . He is also running away alot, things haven't changed in our home. We have a 5, 3 and a 7month old. So, i don't think that would be the problem he loves kids. so iam at a lose on what to do with him.

Your dog may not feel loved, with three kids in the house, and therefore peeing to gain attention. Or feels threatened by the others, and feels the need to mark his territory, therefore making him feel bigger.

I do not see a date but when did this happen and you posted a question instead of taking your cat to the vets immediately? I would be surprised if your poor cat is not dead!..really!.....when an animal is sick TAKE IT TO THE VETS ASAP IMMEDIATELY NO MATTER WHAT!..
probably got hurt, hit by a car, a person something, keep them inside and go to the VETS!

Subject: My puppy pee's and poo's everywhere

I have a six week old puppy, she is a staffy cross pit bull. I have puppy training pads and newspaper down, but she tends to just go anywhere other then where I have placed the Pads/newspaper. I want to know how I can get her to learn to use them as I have a 1yr old boy and he is always in the kitchen. My puppy does go outside in my back garden and i praise her for this but I wake up in the morning and have to clean up pee and poop before my son can get in the kitchen. Please help as she is a birthday present from my partner. We ae also worried because of her breed, we would like to know if she woukld turn on our son when she is older.

Subject: Pet poop and odor

I met this woman who lives with 4 dogs and 1 cat and 4 kittens. The woman's house stinks so bad as I witnessed poop throughout the house. the order reaks so bad that the young girl who lives there reeks as well when she comes over.

1) isn't this unhealthy to breath
2) how do we report it
3) how do we clean the house to get the odor out?

Subject: pee problems

I have 2 pomeranians and they both have two different pee problems. Dieter (male) is 1 years old and he loves to pee outside, but if he has to go while inside and we dont catch it him he will pee/poop anywhere in the house and refuses to use the emergency pee pad. Osa (female) is 10 months old and she refuses to pee/poop outside and only uses her pee pad. I have to bring pee pads to guests houses so she can pee on the pad but Dieter pees/poops when needed. Ive been trying for so long to get Osa to pee outside, i praise her and treat her on the RARE occasion she does pee outside. And Dieter always seems to pee/poop when im not watching and i have found lots of "piles" all over. HELP!

Subject: Kitten pee problems

I recently bought a kitten and he goes in the litter box just fine all day. But at night when he is on the bed he will pee, not all the time, just sometimes. I move the litter box in our bedroom so he can jump down and use it which he does to go poop during the night but he will come back on the bed even after he just got done using the litter box and pee..

Subject: dog pees on my bed

i have a housebroken 8 month old and decided to let him sleep in our bed, he got up and very purposefully peed on it. a few nights later, I decided to put his doggy bed next to mine to let him sleep there (instead of his kennel) and he peed on it! Its not in the middle of the night, it is immediately. We got him from the humane society, not positive of the breed, but they are guessing lasso apso frisse mix.

Subject: Older cat often pees on our laundry

My older female cat will often pee on our clothing if it's left on the floor. she also likes to pee in our shoes if we leave them out. I've started being vigilant about keeping everything in a locked closet, but my husband is often the victim of a peed-on shoe or clothes. He is beginning to despise the cat! What can be done? Should she go on anti-depressants?

Subject: Rescue dog refuses to potty

I recently adopted a dog. She has relieved herself 2 times in the last 3 days since I got her. Once was on my friends floor and the other was at the vet's office. She apparently has never relieved herself while walking on a leash.. she holds it for an ungodly amount of time. The only times that she has used the bathroom is when she is off her leash. I crate her at night and when I am not at home. I understand that she is going through a separation anxiety issue, but the girl has got to pee! She is going to give herself an infection. The vet was at a loss for words to tell me what to do, she told me "good luck, I've tried everything"... I live in an apartment, so she has to pee while walking on the leash, otherwise, I don't know what to do...
