Peeing in my mums house??

Basenji Training
  • MayaM

    Anyone got any ideas on this…

    Every time i take Maya to my mums house she will pee in her hallway. This is EVERY time, without fail, unless i carry her through the hall each time i take her around the house. She is impeccibly clean in my house, and any other house she visits, she only does it at my mums :confused: The carpets are all brand new so dont have any doggie smell on them at all (the dogs only have access to the conservatory and kitchen as the house is currently for sale) that might be encouraging it...

    Anyone? :confused:

    I would have to say that she is trying to claim the house as hers…. sounds to me like marking.... and it could be that because they are new, she wants her smell on those carpets.

    I am pretty sure that she has and is clear, her sire and dam are Clear and she says only in her Mom's house… to me that is clearly marking

    I would say that Maya is taking a break from being a princess, and being a little git instead :D- it sounds like marking out her territory to me.

    When Dyna was in season we sent her down to my mums to stay, and peeing on the rug was the very first thing she did - something she never does at home - obviously just trying to put her stamp on a new household.

    I bet your mum is pleased to see you arrive with her - especially if the house is up for sale!

    Sounds like marking to me too, and once done, her odor is there. Not sure what products available in the UK, but you need an enzyme eating product to truly remove her scent from where she peed before.

    I use a spray with pure white vinegar - helps to prevent a stain and is a cheap way of removing the smell. Naughty Maya but very Baseni typical!!! She is obviously not trying to endear herself to your mother!!

    The marking thing did cross my mind, but she's such an angel i wouldnt have thought she'd do that!! She hates my mum and my mum hates her so maybe thats why!!

    And you're halfway there with the "little git" comment Scott, my mum certainly uses a very similar word to describe Maya :D lol

    I would totally say in that case this is "marking"…...

    if the white vinegar doesnt work try Cromessol spray - they have a stand at most shows - i always keep spray bottles of it in the house, especially with oldies/pups about.

    LOL long ago I had a chow and roommate. The roommate did not like the chow and yelled at her. She came home to find the chow had gotten into her laundry basket and pooped. My roommate was smart. She began being nice to the chow. It's like the AA saying, fake it til you make it. She eventually bonded with her.

    @Kipawa: I'll be setting the alarm again tonight for 3:30 a.m. After a week to week and a half of that, I'll change the alarm to 4:30 a.m., and continue on that routine, gradually increasing the time by one hour, until eventuaully Kipawa can hold his pee all night. That sound like a really good plan… hope it works out... I am sorry to hear about Pippins mom. ....

    @Janneke: Sorry.. but she hates her crate… and she has to be in it for 8 hours a day... And you don't walk her in the morning...? I would start with making sure your dog is tired in the morning before you put her in her crate. And maybe you can try to leave her loose in the house so she can move around? This is not only to you, but I read it so often on this forum that dogs spend entire days in their crates... I just don't understand that people can put their dogs in crates 8+ hours a day (I'm not including nights..) I agree with Janneke here - if she hates her crate, she may pee in it because she gets extremely unhappy there. Not all dogs need to be crated - I've never had a dog who was crated, and the two I have now are loose when we're gone because Shaye, who was 10 weeks when we got her, always hated it, never changed, and started breaking baby teeth on it. When we leave we leave them with a treat to get their immediate attention, and they usually sleep or keep themselves busy, with no damage or upset. Of course, we aren't usually gone more than 6 hours when we leave them.

    mia only gets water when were there to watch her and take her out about 10-15 minutes later.. whenever shes taken out of the crate she goes straight outside.. and before we put her in we take her out again, whether thats 15 or 20 minutes or an hour. i've quickly learned that water goes RIGHT through them. so taking the water out of the cage should work! she has an occasional accident but not everyday.

    @mhergom: Hello, I have an eight-month female, She is peeing at least 5th times per day. Many times she waits t o be back home to make pee. I do not know what to do I am getting crazy with pees I had nightmares Thanks in advance for your help If she is not spayed, she may be in season and they do pee lots more (marking behaviors)…. and this can and does start before you even might see bleeding. 5 times a day is not that much really....
