I have an 8 month old Lab who has lived in my apartment since he was 10 weeks old, and we live on the third floor, so when he was small, walking up and down stairs was impossible. He learned to pee on training pads in the house. Now, I take him outside on a daily basis, and he smells around the neighborhood where other dogs go, but he won't squat or hike his leg to potty outside. He will stay for hours outside without making any pee or poop, but as soon as we come inside, he rushes to the pads I keep down to go potty. I have tried to take him right back outside, but he doesn't understand, and continues to wait until we get back inside to potty. I can't stand the smell, and I have to constantly clean the area where he misses his pads, and it's driving me crazy. Why won't my dog try to mark some territory? What can I do to encourage him to make use of the outdoors and stop using my carpet? I need help fast, because I would like to have company come over without being embarrassed by my stinky home!

My 1 year old cat has always used her litter box but recently she peed on my bed and my sons. this morning she pooped on our couch. luckily i use the formula on this site to remove the urine. i had recently changed kitty litter brands so this morning i switched back. If this continues what should i do? she has done this once before but that was when we first got her. Is there another reason or is she just getting lazy? HELP

Concerned that our 3 yr old bichorkie is now peeing on the carpet. She has been great to go outside now she frequently pees on the carpet. For the past 6 months someone is always home with her - which she loves - she doesn't like it when we go out and leave her. But she goes when we are home. Wondering if she may have a medical issue - any thougths.
She is very tiny - 4 lbs and a total lap dog. When it is nice out she goes in and outside on her own thru a doggie door.

I do hope that someone can help. My Boxer Tara is in season, she is fully house trained and usualy I have to wake her up to go out in the morning. She has suddenly started doing her business at the front and back door of the house. She has never done this before, could it be something to do with alpha - omega thing, or is it normal when she is in season?.

My daughter will be bringing a young 6 month kitten home from her previous house to live with us, I have a 11 month old female cat (Molly) who is already set in her ways. Harry (kitten) at the moment is infested with fleas, but has been treated with Frontline. They are due to move in, in 4 weeks time will that be long enough for the fleas to have left?

I am wondering how the new addition will affect Molly?

Please help

I just got a cat from my brother they are moving. He has not come out of hiding in 24 hours. No eating, drinking or pooping. Should I be concerned or give it another day? How can they go without poopy?

I have a 4 yr old cat. Over the last 2 months he goes poo in the morning right after we get up somewhere different in the house. He never used to do it before. But when he does it, it doesnt look healthy. We just recently moved into a new house but he did it before in our old one. We clean his litter box atleast 2x a day to make sure thats not why he is doing it. We havent changed litter brands or food. We took him to the vet and they said that they would have to run tests on his pancreas but thats really expensive. Could it be something else Im not thinking of???

how do I remove dog urine stains from white carpet?
I have cleaned area...there is no odor, but a yellow stain remains.(white carpet)

Does anyone have some good suggestions for this problem.
I got a 4 month old jack russell pub who is now almost 8 months.
She lived outside in kennels before I had her and still does with me.
She has a large run and comes to work with me everyday to my horse yard, and she is allowed to come into the house when I am there.
She is'nt house trained very well which I accepted as she's always lived outside, so thats something that I can work on, but, despite going for a pee in her run, she also pee's in her bed and she can go into her run any time she wants but does'nt bother.
Lately she also comes in the house, hops up on the sofa and goes there.
If I take her on a lead and stay with her for ages she does'nt go.
I don't know how to stop her peeing on her bed as I'm not outside every minute to watch that she does'nt.
If anyone can help I will spend as much time as it takes to correct this problem as I don't blame the dog, its just very inconvenient and frustrating to have wash the dog bed everyday, and its quite uncommon for them not to mind sitting in pee.

I have had my cat who is 1year old and i have a nother cat who is 5 years old. The 1yr old is a male, fixed and declawed at 4 months or so. The older cat is female, fixed and declawed also. My 1yr old cat got out, he fell out of a window and he did come back home almost 2wks later. The 1yr old used the bed as a litter box a couple of times but then stopped. NOW HE IS USING MY COUHES!!! He has used my loveseat three times, and now is using the couch. I can't keep cleaning my couches, they are going to start showing damage... WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS??? He didn't start doing this right when he came back, but about one month later.... no change is food, or litter. Nothing has changed with anything... HELP!!!!

I have a cat we have had him since he was 3 weeks old. In april he started po po on the floor at first it was runny so i over looked it thinking he may be ill. then it returned to solid. he is 6.5 yrs old and we have never had a problem with him using his box. Then a month or so back i noticed he was peeing on the floors in the kitchen and living room. So i took him to the vet they did a few test and told me they didnt know what was wrong. Told me to give him prescription food and see if that worked. They said they could do more test but it would cost 5 to 6 hundred dollars. I dont have that kind of extra money. The food has not helped. Nothing has changed in his life style and nothing to stress him. I am seriously considering putting him down because I cant put up with him peeing everywhere. His box is clean and is in the same place its been for years. I love my cat and dont want to do this but its looking as if i have no choice. Do you have any suggestions. they did a bladder check on him said he didnt have an infection but he could have a cyst on his bladder those r the other tests they wanted to run, but I just dont have that kind of money . Any help will be appreciated.

I have 2 jack russells. One is about 6 (which we adopted) and have no trouble with him in any respect (except he wants to fight every dog he sees) but we also bought a pup who is 6 months old now. I am having a lot of trouble house training. Am I expecting too much as this age. He seemed to be clean for a couple of days before he went to be neutered and since then he is doing it everywhere. I now have to keep the older one locked up in the kitchen with him which is not fair on him. If I dont the pup barks constantly. He has also ripped up all the lino from the kitchen floor. Please help, I could do with some advice.

We have a 12 week old Australian Shepard/Lab mix who pees on the floor within 3-15 minutes of coming in from outside. She goes outside just fine and then will pee on the floor. It's like she's not fully emptying her bladder. Any suggestions?

I have two cats. One is the mother cat and one is her baby. They are about 4 and 2. They will not use the litter box. We make sure that we keep the litter clean for them all the time in case that is the issue. But its never dirty because they don't even use it! They pee and poop all over the house. But most of the time they will poop in the same spot a numerous amount of time. And they seem to poop many times a day! Could there be something wrong with both of my cats? Has anyone experienced this!?! or have any advice for trying to stop this!

I decided, long story short, 4-6 months ago i took on a lovely seven month old pitbull mix called Cody (i re-named him because he didn't answer one single bit to his former name he'd supposedly had for 7 months - and he started listening to this name in less than a day)

He was a boistrous, friendly puppy who loved everyone and everything, though the former owners had never allowed him to go near other dogs or cats incase he decided to 'fight' with them. When we took him on he was slightly underweight, they claimed he just never gained weight no matter what they fed him or how much. (within a week of 2two meals a day here he was stocky and healthy)

After 4-6 months he still hasn't learned, Cody, i regret to say (or do i?) is being put up for adoption (NOT 100% DECIDED, but i feel like i should seriously consider it)

It's safe to say i REALLY despise him right now, today he had been out for just over six hours (with our other dogs just in the yard while we did garden work, it was recommended to help him learn he can't hold it in forever) he comes in, less than five minutes later he had pee'd on the floor.

There's a fine line between wrong and right, a finer line between love and hate, I'm on my last nerve. I can't do this forever. I'm really stuck as to what to do, he's amazing in every single way, just...if i had left him 5 minutes longer i bet there'd have been a pile too, as people say 'he's still young he'll grow out of it' but he's almost a year old he's had approximately five months since we got him to 'grow out of it' and he's ruining everything.

As if the chewing wasn't enough, a month or so back, but he learned in a week what to chew and what he can't. Took him less than month to do anything on command, he sits, stays, lays, waits, eats, stops, and guards without a repeated command.

We have had litters of puppies here that he has grown up with and they are better at this than he is, they learned from paper training, then to go outdoors. It took them two weeks to learn and he spent a lot of time with them, he was the only one who did not use the paper.

Ireallyreallydon't see why this is so difficult for him. He's a really smart dog, i mean he's protective of us and the other dogs, he loves people but they love him for the wrong reasons. A couple of weeks ago he got let out onto the street, he has never harmed a dog befor euntil that one day. They tried to make their dog attack one of our pups and the mother who they had let out, Cody chased, tried to play with the dog until it went for the fourteen week old pup, he attacked it, and refused to let go until it submissed. The owners beat him off the dog until his lungs blead and he had to be taken to the vets, he would have stopped if they had given me a chance to make him. They kept taunting and encouraging the fight - until their dog started losing / and whooahh who got mad! -.-

As far as i know the other dog is okay, admittedly i haven't seen it, or the stupid owner since the accident, but at least nobody else has tried to steal Cody - yet.. We are still cautious with him. Especially since he's gotten so protective of the dogs we have ( towards other dogs.)

So back on topic, We got him when he was about 6-7 months, he'd be around eleven months to a year now, he was [supposed to be] toilet trained when we got him, he was fine for the first week, then it just spiralled out of control.

I could understand if it was minor accidents, but not when i wake up and have to swim and dig to get out of my own house. (It can get that bad)

I've been tempted to make him an outdoor dog but he'd just either kill someone for trying to steal him or get stolen himself...I will not risk it i know exactly why they want him.

He is not vicious but he will not stand down if someone tried to hurt him or his family, or take him without my permission - or his.

When we got him he was slightly underweight and hyperactive, he gained weight in a week of being here with us and his behaviour changed within a minute of him being here. Now he is very calm and only jumps when told to. He does get excited and he whines a LOT if he's not allowed to jump.

One reason i don't want to get rid of him, it's not 100% his fault, but there's nothing i can try that works. I think he was more than just neglected in his old home...

We never saw the other owners hurt him when we went down for him, but when we brought him home and closed the gate he attacked my boyfriend...we spent a while calming him down, then he refused to go inside the house, although now he's happy to go out and would rather run out in the yard than stay in.. unfortunately he has to be chained so he doesn't jump the fence and run into danger - or the wrong hands.

Someone said he's probably marking his territory inside, but he prefers to be outside, So i don't get why he wont 'mark' outside

i'm really wanting to make him wear a diaper .

Thing is, he KNOWS he's done wrong when he does it, but yet he CONTINUES to do it.

It's as if he enjoys being devious, and he enjoys seeing me cry when i have to 'beg' that we can try keeping him a bit longer, and i KNOW he can hold it in longer than five minutes.

I'm constantly 'promising' i will make him stop, promising he wont do it again - just for that bit of extra time.

We've had one good night where he made no mess at all, though he was only inside for five hours, i thought it was progress........clearly i was wrong.

I'm dying inside here.

i have a 8 year old sterilized american bulldog x female and where she pee's on the grass it's dead any suggestions on how to save my lawn would be great.

I got my 1st puppy last night. She's a toy poodle. Very timid. I have no experience w training and need help. Also worried abt what happens when I go 2 work.

I just got a puppy saturday it will pee on the puppy pad sometimes, but never poop can u help me?

my cat is 18 years old. She is persian/himalayan and hasnt had shots for a few years. The vet here told me she didnt need any more shots, so I haven't visited him in quite sometime. Now my cat will use her litter box and poop in it and then before or after, will poop a little more either near her litter box or in the living or bedrooms. Most of the time there's a little blood on a spot of carpet and then some poo poo. She pee pees in the litter box all the time. She cries at night sometimes and I dont know if its for attention or if she is hurting. She shakes her ears a lot. At her age, I dont want to spend a lot of money for a vet to tell me she'll be all right with certain medication, because she is very finicky and will not take anything orally. Do you think its time for her to be put away? She still seems alert and purrs most of the time but sleeps a lot also. She does seem out of it sometimes and other times she follows me all over the house. I usually take her everywhere we go. About 10 months ago, I had a neighbor take care of her for 5 days and she hasnt been the same since. She used to be really shy and hide when I had company and now she is completely different and just lays there when someone visits. Anyway, your advise would be greatly appreciated.

Can someone please help!!
my mum has got a tibetian terrier, she is now 15 months old and still not house trained, my mum has had dogs all her life so knows the basics of training, she has tried everything, mum leaves the back door open nearly all day so she (the dog) can go out whenever she wants, but for some reason she does it in the kitchen. we have tried wlaking her, bought her a crate, shutting the back door and letting her out every hour but nothing has worked, she can be out for 2 hours and then comes in and poo's and wee's on the floor, mum is at the end of her tether with this and needs help, we aslo have a cocker spaniel (also a bitch) she is 3 years old and like to let the other one know who is in charge, they do get on really well so we are not sure if its the cocker that is causing this problem. we have been told by breeders that it could be that she is stressed out but we have tried everything to give her a stress free home, my mum would like to try and seperate them and see what happens but she doesnt want the risk of the dog soiling in the living room etc. please, if anyone has any advice wewill be vey greatfull, thanks.

I have a 4-year old Yorkie. I have had him only a year. He had been piddle pad trained and is very good about going to the pad to pee and poop. However, He constantly misses the pad and only half of the urine goes on it. I have tried to retrain him, but to no avail. What can I do to help him get all the way on the pad?

My 5 yr. old lab always went outside to poop and pee, but now that I have gone to work, she continues to do this in my lv. rm. always in the same spot. Even when I have taken her out or have my daughter come in to take her out. What do I do????

MY Schnuzer has started to pee in his cage ,, he started after being at a kennel while we were gone,, how can I break him??

My dog is almost 5 and we have recently moved. Since moving, Asia has been frequenting my bathroom with her own elimination needs. I have cleaned the rug, yes, rug, and she still continues to go there. What can I do to deter her from using my bathroom to relieve herself?

I've had my cat since she was a kitten, and have never had a problem with her going inside her litter pan to pee/poop. However, when it comes to urinating she sits on the edge of the litter pan, like she's squatting (kind of like imitating a human). I've had a cover over the litter pan, gotten a bigger litter pan, and the litter is always clean and fresh when she's doing this. Putting down a liner only lets the urine run more easily to the carpet. As for any type of mat just holds the urine. How can I get her to stay in the middle of the pan like most cats?

After you do this rug clean up process. Can you still see the stains with the black light after you do this clean up process?

is there anything i can give my cat to help it poop. she is having a hard time after swallowing fishing line

My cat is about 1 and seems to drink tons of water. She forms huge chunks of pee in her litter and poops quite a lot. I can't tell if this is a problem or if she just has a fast metabolism. Help!!

we rescued a stray cat from the neighborhood. we think that he is about 1 year old. we still have not taken him to the vet for checkup and neuter.

he is mostly an outdoor cat. we can't really keep him from going outside. we prefer that he stays in at night. so we tried to get him a litter box, but he threw the sand all over the place. is it hard to train an adult cat to go in the litter?

he has started having explosive diarhea-looking poos in our bed. as well as pees. we had to toss all our blankets last night. and he just did it on our new blanket while we were sleeping.

it smells terrible! could this be spray, mixed with poo? why does he do it in the bed? is there anything we can do? or should the first step be: taking him to the vet.
