Pee trails

Behavioral Issues
  • Iam new here and to B's since i just learned that my puppy is a B mix, mostly B though. He is 5 months old we guess. He knows to go to the dog to outside to pee, but sometimes if he is playing with our other dog or even for no reason he pees alittle. Its like little pee trails through the house. It also seems like he pees frequently. But when he's in his cage he never has an accident. It seems he just wants me to take him outside. Any suggetions.

  • Has he had a vet check? He may have a UTI. It may also be that as a 5 month old puppy he just doesn't have a mature bladder. Many puppy accidents happen when they are excited like during play or greeting. They get so excited they just can't hold it.

  • Erik, My Keoki is 6.5 mos old and we had a similar problem w/him. I guess you could say we still have that problem, since he just did it again last week {ARGH!!}.

    He has always stood still and peed in one spot outside. But even as a young puppy, if he peed in the house he left a pee trail. No UTI, no other health problems. I have yet to figure it out.

    You're lucky he "pees a little". LOL Keoki left trails from one room to the next. We have hard wood floors through much of the area, and it was sometimes hard to see the pee. There'd be one of two of us, standing or crawling around, cocking our heads at different angles trying to see the pee {it gets "lost" in reflections from lights and windows}. Really, quite ridiculous!

    Our female never did this.

    Good luck.

  • Thanks, glad to hear I am not the only one. He has been to the vet and gotton all the shots and a general check up, and they said he's healthy. Just gotta keep with the training. thanks

  • My mom has a dog that did that when he was a puppy. Now that he has gotten older (2 years) he doesn't do it anymore. If he is otherwise healthy he probably just needs time. When he gets a little older and develops a little more control I bet he stops.

  • It can take at least 6 months or more till they are truely house trained.

    Btw, let me add… after about 5 mos, neutering often has NO effect on marking behavior. You should also treat ANY new dog, puppy or adult, as a puppy. Which means you either have them leashed to you, crated, or actively watching every single move. It is far easier to stop marking from starting (or any bad behavior) than correcting it once establish. You also need to go back to that when marking or other unwanted behaviors start. Sure, it's a pain in the butt, but easier than letting it become a habit then try to retrain.

    A UTI IMO would be the best case scenario, some antibiotics and bam situation resolved. Changing behaviour is a hard thing to do, it takes time and effort. Having your animal checked for medical issues first is what ANY good behaviourist would suggest when there is a signifigant change in the animal. It makes sense. BTW drinking a lot of water would also make me recommend going to the vet first.

    Had a Corgi at the bark park come up to me, look at me with the cute face Corgis have, then lift his leg and pee all over my shoe. I gave him the same line I give She-Ra: "You're lucky you're so damn cute!" :)

    @-Clar|Emm|Kai-: …Uhh, is it bad to admit that I don't correct my B when it comes to the coffee tree people?... =D That'll teach em to stand around! :D The thing I see most at the dog park is humping.

    thanks to all your suggestions. this is the second day/night now and she has peed outside. She has started to go towards the door when she needs to go to do a pee, so i've let her out..stayed with her until she does (which has been very quick, it used to take 5 or so minutes but now only 5 seconds..which is great!! She gets alot of praise when she does and she is quickly allowed back inside. Fingers crossed it stays that way!! Yes all bedroom & toilet doors shut..i learnt not to let her out of our sight as she is very sneaky??? One more question which i find odd..why is there a need for her to clean up after herself after peeing on the floor or her bed??
