Hello! I really need some advice. I have a wonderful, beautiful & month old American Bulldog / Boxer mix. She in the past 2 months has started peeing in the house again. I can't figure out why she is doing it. She was completely house trained. She has gone as far as to pee on my bed. Please someone help!!!

Hello, we had a similar problem with our Chipoo. She is 2.5 years old now but when she was around 2 years old she started peeing in the house again and even on our bed a couple of times. I recommend getting a waterproof mattress pad until you can get it under control as it saved our mattress from the pee. As for why she did it I cannot say but I did some reading and found it is somewhat common in dogs to regress like this and they just need a quick potty training refresher. We started making sure we watched her when she went potty and gave her a treat when she went potty in the right spot.
That has helped mostly every once in a while she pees on the carpet though but not on the bed since. I can't figure out why she did it either as she was completely potty trained (but indoor trained if that makes a difference).
Hope that helps & Good Luck....

Thanks for your advice! Do you think it could have anything to do with her age, she is 7 months. I believe she is getting ready to go into heat. I don't know if that could have something to do with it.

I suppose it is possible. We had our little girl spayed before she had her first heat so I am not sure if that could have something to do with it or not. She is still pretty young it may just be she needs a bit more time. Ours weren't 100% potty trained until around 9 months. Keep working & Good luck... [:D]

Just so everyone knows Chloe is doing a lot better with the potty training and she came into heat for the fist time on Friday.

I just wanted to give another little up date. Chloe is doing pretty good about only going potty outside, but every now and again we have a little trouble. I think she does it for attention. She has peed on our couch once because we were busy and didn't take her out. I think she is a little spiteful. She has to be the center of attention. If anyone has anymore advice on this I would be very grateful. Thanks!

Hi, I also heard from Ginger's trainer, if you got anything new in the house or changed the furniture around, they will start to mark their area. Did you change anything. Anything like floor cleaner, furniture sprays, a new floor plant. Did you change her dog food, or times of feeding? Just a few ideas. Hope all goes well.
Canine friend, Ginger

Hi
I am also new to the forum & Bentley is the first doggy that I have ever had.
I know it may sound silly but I'm 25 years old & never had a pet. Bentley is a 9 week old Rottsky,
I am having trouble with him messing. I have emptied out the study & turned it into a room for him.
In one corner is his food & water, another his blanky & sleeping stuff with chewy toys and on one side I have put paper.
When in his room he is a good boy & uses the paper, but once I let him loose in the house he just messes wherever he wants to.
In a month he is going to be left outside & sleep in his kennel. The vet says its fine.
What should I do to stop him from messing inside wherever he wants to?
