The problem is, my dog only marks when im not around
Same here like he knows when I’m watching
yep still have no solutions. we have a large 8 year old male cat, a 6 year old female rescue mix, and our 2 year old instigator pittweiler. all compete for scents in and out of the home. so much resource guarding it’s exhausting.
Same
Crate when you can't watch
I have had this problem before and the gentleman in video nails it; you have to restrict access in your home. Crate training or leash tethering is the way. My male rottie goes through waves of marking and not marking in the house. He is too big to kennel so we tether his leash to a kettlebell. Dogs shouldn’t have full access to your home if they mark. Also you have to clean up all urine with an enzymatic cleaner. Just wiping it up just spreads it.
My 3 year old mountain cur never actually pees. He marks, like 20-30 times outside, then comes inside and marks too. I've caught him in the act and corrected it many times. He seems to know that I'm upset with him but it doesn't stop the behavior. I adopted him at 6 months and he had just been neutered. I've had 4 other male dogs and none have had this behavior. I can't keep in a crate 24 hours a day. So frustrated.
My Husky is 3 years old I can take him for an hour long walk with him marking. He comes in to pee on the corner of my bed. When I correct him he just rolls his eyes at me, I then tell him to go to his kennel. I love him very much, but he has annoying habits. Sometimes he won't even poop outside. Like he is nervous to do so. I smack him on the butt when I catch him marking. It seems to make him think about it. I've used many dog deterrent scents on my furniture. He don't accept treats outside
Start taking treats on your walks and reward him when he goes poop. @@KhorneyFishRawrFearMeh
This is great advice.
We usually start teaching our dogs as soon as they are introduced to the pack. That is as important as Stay and Come.
Thank you! This is our first unfixed dog (not until he's 1½ years old) and we caught him in the act today. Guess old beds are getting tossed, and this gives us more incentive to start the ecollar training we've been wanting to do.
Time to pee outside my house! Neighbors be ware!!!! 😈
Great information Al!
Thankyou😊 Very helpful. Yes I'm having trouble with my male dog marking inside. Also my female dog, but she is good going on pads. They are both breeding dogs so I'm teaching them not to do that but finding it very hard. Sometimes they both go on the wee pads which is good. But mostly my male dog doesn't. I am very diligent on making sure they go outside frequently, even if it's only for short periods. Maybe I need to wait with them outside n make sure they wee. They are only 8 months and 1.5 years old. Was there anything else that you recommend please😊? But I'll try me and my partner going outside a time where the neighbours are hopefully not being busy bodies and looking over the fence into our backyard. So frustrating...
Thank you!
I just adopted a shelter dog and he likely has a marking issue. He’s 2-4 years old but hasn’t been neutered yet. Will neutering still help this issue?
My dog was neutered before 6 months and I can guarantee you it's not a "sure way". He squated to pee the first year, as soon as he learned to hike his leg he was blasting everything. We can't get him to stop and I don't know what to do!!!
Thank you! I’m having an issue with Nanook marking only when my parents come over.
It’s causing some issues because i’m not able to explain or make my parents think like a dog! I’m sharing this vid with them and hope it helps! Any words as to why he’s only marking when they are over?
He’s 8 years old. Thanks!
Thank you I will
When I take my dog for daily walks should I have him do all his markings out there? I walk my dog three times a day, put him out in the backyard about 3-4 times a day but he'll still mark inside the home.
Same..
your video was very interesting but doesn't really address my issue. My son has a 7 month old Pom. They moved into my home when his lease was up and are in between apartments. We have a 10 year old Pom that does not want to be bothered with the high activity of the puppy and probably considers the house his own. The puppy is marking all around the kitchen and family room areas where our old Pom usually is. Is the only remedy to keep them separated? this arrangement may last 2-3 months.
john maute thanks so much for the comment! This video has what I would do.

My dog is 3 and a half years old approximately from the shelter neutered at 2.5. He marks everything and has even peed on my other dog in the process a few times. I heard him marking my grandma’s couch while I on the toilet. Hopefully he got the message I hollered as soon as I heard.
I tried very hard not to but I came back from her funeral today. I’ve never been so mad.
Would this work with a senior dog? We adopted a 8 year old and he’s done a 6-7 spots already. We have a female dog and a female cat so he’s for sure marking.
I think it's worth trying. If you need help after trying, feel free to message me. I'd love to help. (832) 734-5189
I’m doing a trial for a 3 .year old rescue who just got spayed back in February. I can’t find any hope that the behavior will stop for sure . I’ve read tons of articles , he has limited access in the home , isn’t allowed upstairs ect . Implementing the catching in the act . Realistically will this ever stop ?
I have a 14 month old Glen of Imaal, Gunder, who started marking in the house at 1 year. We have an older, little neutered male multipoo who marks everywhere, but only outside - these two have had pissing contests since Gunder was 6 mos. I have started having Gunder wear pads, but he doesn't seem to mind and the marking in the diaper continues. I'm trying to keep him on a leash attached to me in the house but he's very dog reactive and if a dog walks by he will suddenly yank my arm off! I'm working on both problems at once - am I doing it right?
It’s hard to say if you are headed in the right direction but it seems that you may not be. Have you considered a pinch collar to deal with the lunging? Are you hand feeding your dogs and rewarding them when the are behaving or letting the eat out of a bowl? You may consider changing up some of this as it may help.
how do you know the difference between marking and just peeing inside the house..my sons friend just moved in with his two dogs ( my son has two dogs himself) and I think his one dog has been peeing in several spots.
Since each dog is uniquely different, it would demand that we, their owners, really focus on them for the subtle hints they are giving us to know the difference.
Hi I have found a 2.5 yr old poodle/ dachshund mix that I would like to adopt. The current rescue owners said his issue and why he was surrendered is he marks. He has been neutered. Really nervous about the idea of bringing him home and this happening as I have never owned a dog before. I am definitely willing to do training if I know it will work. Suggestions?
Dachshund are super hard headed dogs. Tbh a less stubborn breed like a German Shepard or a Labrador would be a better idea. Some poodles are very clean depending on the parents. Some are just the nastiest tbh.
So should i neuter my dog ? because he just started marking everywhere and he s 9 months old plus he just finished inside potty training
sorry that I'm just seeing your comment. I don't think you should.
I have two males that were neutered before 6 months and one that was neutered at 3 years and yet they all do it and I was told when they were neutered that they would likely still do it and they do for sure.
I am about to go insane with my dog. He was trained from birth forward to be housebroken. He never made a mistake - From the breeder to my home, he's always had one of those Walmart blue pools to go in. It's cleaned every single day from bottom to top, removing all the ammonia and feces possible. New mulch at least once a week or twice, as needed. (I'm handicapped and he was purchased and trained to do this as I'm in an apartment and cannot leash him as needed)
At about 7m old another dog was visiting and marked the corner of a hanging tapestry (and thus, the wall, corner, foot board and carpet). I cleaned it immediately and sprayed everything with vinegar and shampooed and used ozone out...
But the damage was done. I have tried everything but this hall goes sideways to all rooms, there's only one way to watch it - camp in the hall. For months now I've had plastic chef mats cut and stapled in place, then a towel over it (visibility if he did pee plus no slip facter from standing fluid). He marks about every 4-6 days.
He is most definitely urinating in full in his box and the walls were raised for his shy factor and height - there is no one competing...
Please... I'm going crazy!!!!
Go back and clean with Rocco and Roxie Pet Stain Remover. What we smell as “clean” with vinegar and regular cleaning products, our dogs’ noses are still strong enough to pick up the tube scent. Once you clean with an enzyme solution, the urine smell should TRULY be gone.
If I buy a crate would that help? Or no? I’m buying dog barriers so he’s secluded to an area and he’s not peeing all over, but I read that a crate for night time is good? Is this true? Please reply. 😊
Random Ness Think of crates and gates as physical boundaries. They can block the dog from going in a particular area. So in that sense, yes, it can help. I’d recommend showing your dog exactly where you want them to go and to not give them to much freedom inside the home until the habit of peeing where you want is formed. Let me know if that makes sense.

Thank you so much! :)
I use a Crate, each time i put him in , he piss in it.
Its terrible because ita his sleep place but at least he doesnt pee much somewhere else
I enjoyed your video! I have 3 male dogs, a 125 docile Doberman , a 4 pound Chiapoo who bites, excessively barks , and a Pekingese ALL MALES. ALL NEUTERED accept my 1 yr old Peek. The tiny Chiapoo excessively marks and excessively humps. Won’t stop marking. The 2 little ones go on wee wee pads because I have a pond and lost a dog from a buff toad before
Thank you!
Was there anything I could help you with? I think I missed something.
@@AltheDogTrainer what I got from that is her dog has gotten eaten by a frog 🐸
What were using as a 'corrector?'
David Procaccini good question. Punishers are unique to the individual so it takes some figuring out on our part to determine what would work best for that specific dog. If you want to have a conversation about your dog, I’d love to help for free. Just text me at (832) 378-8529.
Longoriahaus Dog Training what is the collar you use to train dogs? Is it the shock collar or a collar that makes a high pitch noise?
I peed in my backyard when house training my puppy 😂

My dog marks everywhere in our back yard, we can’t have any nice outdoor furniture because of it. We will be neutering him this month, do you think that will make him stop? He’s 5 years old
I’m sorry that you’re going through that. There are training solutions for this kind of problem and if you and you’re family can make some changes, they may be difficult for you all, I believe it is possible. Obviously, I don’t know you or your dog. So, generally speaking, I would say it’s probable. Only you can determine if it will work. If he was my dog, he’d be tethered directly to me on a leash every time he went outside for the next 20 days. This way, he has little to not chance to screw up. I’d have you rewarding him each tone he marked EXACTLY where you wanted him to go without fail.
We have 2 female dogs and now have rescued a male pup who is at least 3 years old. He was just neutered a few months ago at the shelter. He has only marked 3 times in our home. Once on our ottoman. After that, we put a belly band on him and I was able to stop him once from marking in the house. The third time, I didn’t actually see him do it. Otherwise, he does very well in our home. But - my question is, how do I work with him when we go to someone else’s home? I keep the belly band on him indoors but I don’t want to have to always have one on him! Do you have a recommendation for how to handle new places? Thanks!
What if the dog does the marking when you are not home or not in the area where he does it at the time he marks? Trying to help my son in-law with their dog. TIA.
The hardest part in training a dog is getting the humans to be organized and diligent. My suggestion is to sit down with your SIL and come up with a plan to create the habits in the dog you want. I’d do everything in my control to not give the dog enough freedom to make the mistake. Much easier said than done but this is where your plan should really help. Good luck!
Help !!! My 14 year old dog has started marking in my house for the last 2 weeks. he will do it in 3-4 different spots a day. We do have big changes (4 month old baby) but everything was good before this and we see no signs of new sickness he sees his vet regularly. It is not like peeing volume which he does outside. Any ideas on how to fix this would be awesome.
Also he has started humping my wife and her items like jacket and shoe's.
My female spayed dog will not stop marking in our house, and my in laws house (even worse). Any different tips since it’s a girl
My senior dog always marks behind my back. So I'm assuming having him neutered at 8 years won't help prevent the marking?
This is one case where I’d consider the surgery but my feeling is it won’t help much. Try crate training just for a week and reward heavily where you do want him to go. Good luck
Just rescued a dog from outside. we let him sleep on the bed last night and he marked in 3 different places last night. when we bring him out to pee he marks, doesn’t do a full pee, just small pees everywhere. any advice?
Sorry for the slow response. If he was my dog, I would keep him around me as much as possible and on a leash. This way, if I could tell that he was thinking about marking I would take him out. That's not so easy to do. So, use your crate wisely but not as a prison too. I would also really make it obvious to him that marking outside was very valuable.
My dog is marking everywhere, he marks even after a walk...
kate C I’m sorry to hear this. I’m happy to help if you need more advice. Feel free to text me and I’ll help you come up with a plan. (832) 378-8529. I’ll mention this, it’s very possible you’re giving your dog too much freedom. When you come back from walks, change his routine in a major way. Keep the leash on him and make him do a 5 to 10 minutes place or down stay. Don’t negotiate that with him. Then at the end of that, walk out the front door and take him to where it is ok for him to mark and tell him what a good boy he is. I have more advice if you need it.
I have 2 shih tzu brothers always fight. Being dominant to his older brother. When the older one he pee on this area and the younger one who is being dominant he is waiting his older brother to finish peeing. He will pee too at the same area where his older brother pee. Help. They are always 8yrsold already
Joshua Yap that can’t be easy? Have you considered taking some privileges away? I’d make them wear a leash in the home so that way if they want to get into it, you can address it. I’d also remind them that peeing outside is what you want.
Lol, I use to scream at my ex-boyfriend for peeing outside in the backyard with the dog. Omg, my ex was correct and I was w-r-o-n-g 😞
Don’t feel so bad about it. How could you have known? 🤷🏻♂️
No, don’t spell it. Say the word wrong.
@@bradleymiller437 They will never say it. This is the best we can get. lol
@@eriksaenz1899 lol 🤣 women issues much? 😝
Nah it's still a gross behaviour. Especially if someone does it all the time. But for teaching reasons it's a good idea. So don't worry, you were still in the right. I agree with you. Most dogs are okay. It's only most likely breeding dogs that are a bit tricky to teach because they want to mark all the time. So that's what I'm finding hard
I have an odd question. I understand dogs can sense a lot of things. I believe my dog actually had an accident on our bed however I’m not 100% sure. My husband and I are actively trying to have a baby, so of course we’re doing the baby dance. Last night our dog had Peed in the exact spot where my husband and I baby dance. Is this possibly a territorial thing where he’s like I want to be an only child, even so he is our fur baby? Or could’ve it been an honest accident?
Take your dog out of your bed, not his place (hygiene, dominance, etc). Problem solved
@@maclane7 yes. Since the incident he’s only allowed on the floor with his own blanket. Thank you.
My pom was potty trained he knew where to potty from age of 3months but since he hit puberty he marks curtains all the time. He is potty trained with peepads inside I cant take him out
Our SHIBA (8 weeks old) is peeing in the correct spot but then at night she pees a tiny bit in the bedroom to mark a spot. This happens every night. Not a full pee. Just a couple drops. Very frustrating.
My 19 mo male is AKC show quality but marks obsessively outside and occasionally marks in a couple of favorite areas in the house. Usually I'm too late to catch him but I will do better with confining him in the house and catching him in the act. My concern is the strict regulation against show dogs that must not be neutered (or spayed) and will be disqualified if they mark during the show. How to train intact dogs not to mark anywhere?
Hi Melinda. It sounds like getting a handle on this is really important to you. I’d really encourage to increase the structure in your adolescent dogs life for a short time to help lead in the right direction. I’d suggest being clear with yourself on where you want him to mark. I’d not give him more than 3 locations to go. Perhaps one where you live and then two on your daily walks. Also, if he is marking in you home, don’t leave him unsupervised and without a leash until the middle of next month. Now when he does use it in one of the pre determined locations, make it very satisfying for him. If you need more help, please reach out. I’d love to see y’all overcome this.
So will a puppy male 10 weeks old mark? What month do you recommend to get neutered?
In my experience, it is highly unlikely but not outside the realm of possibility. I never recommend a month for neutering a dog. I personally leave my dogs intact unless it becomes medically necessary to do so
My dog will only mark in the house at night and the morning. We let him out almost every hour and one more time around 1am. I swear he purposely tries annoy us with peeing. I will go the the bathroom in the middle of the night and in that minute that I’m in the bathroom he will pee or poop. Do you have any advice
My dachshund marks all the house!!! I take him out and he pees and everything and comes inside and marks. So most of the time I tell him to go in his crate but I hate doing so cause I wished he could get cuddles like our female cat ( who is fixed) debating on fixing my dog. His crate is huge though. Also. He pees his own water bowl 🤔
I have a small Aussie. He is 5 years old. We take him out and he will pee on command. However, he will mark in the hallway and right in front of out master bathroom. We’ve put in new carpet in the hall and bedrooms 2 times now and even on new carpet with no pee smells he still marks the same areas. I can’t figure him out. He gets plenty of pee time outside. He’s been neutered. Great dog but just destroying our carpet. We are at the end of our rope with this guy and about to give him away. Any other suggestions than what was used in the video to stop this territory urinating behavior?
Omg...so glad I don't have to deal with this now! Thanks anyway, TH-cam!
I have 2 males one 2yrs and 1 3yrs they are for the most part potty trained however, when I'm not home they wanna mark the couch or their dog food bag or whatever. I've tried everything...can u please advise me on how to stop this some way other than diapers? They are my kids and I don't wanna crate them
The crate is necessary, or at least a dog pen. They need guidance, too much freedom makes them anxious and unsure. They're dogs, not people, they need strong rules and need you to make choices for them to feel safe and relaxed.
How’d you suggest to deal with a 7-year-old dog who ONLY marks when he’s left alone in the house, habitually. But when someone’s home - he doesn’t even bother to sniff the spots.
Thank you!
If you’ve figured this out, I’m in the same situation and would love to hear a solution.
Crate them when you’re out. A crate trained dog will feel more secure as well as not having the opportunity to mark.
SO what do I do if my dog keeps marking in the house while I am at work? I adopted a male dog around 2 years old and I can never catch him marking inside...but I know where he marks.
This is obviously very challenging. The problem with your particular circumstance is that there is no way to influence your dog for his choices. If you were able to, I’d have him in a kennel/run but not inside the home. You need to find some way to not allow him to Mark when you are not there.
Now, when you are there, you really need to reinforce him for going exactly where you want him to and use a correction that works for him when he starts thinking about marking in the house.
I also want you to consider getting anything that he has soiled, professionally cleaned.
@@AltheDogTrainer I dont have a dog run and I dont have a fenced in yard...I do have a leash, but Im afraid he would get tangled up under the deck and I cant exactly take time off work to check on him. Not sure what my neighbors would think either.
I’m sorry that this situation is very difficult. I feel that adding a human that can help you during the day is your best bet at this point. You could try a dog day care or a pet sitter to help you manage and train the dog.
@@AltheDogTrainer Guess that means I better crate him until I can find someone during the day...dont like the idea, but need to do something and dont want to take him back to the pound because of something minor.

Hello! We have a little bichon maltease, 8 mounths old and we have a problem whoch we cannot fix it. We are working 8 ours per day, and in this period the dog it is waiting us back home. When we are at home it is not doing nothing wrong in the house, it want to go out, so it is asking for going in the back yard. In the moment we are leaving the house, even for 15 min he start peeing all over the house... It is a really big challenge for us and your advice it will be very important and helpfull. How can we make it to not "revenge" on us?.Thank you and have a nice day!!

Is there a difference between marking and just peeing in the house? Would marking be what you call it after the dogs “have been” potty trained?
Yes. In general, marking is a behavior dogs use to help define their territory. Potty training is how a dog relieves themselves.
But how do you know if their peeing or marking. We have a doggie door and my dog is starting to pass in certain areas
My puppy is peeing on my bed whenever we (me and the puppy) go meet other people. Why and how do i stop it.
My dog is a female and she has this trouble. Got any advice
I’d love to help. Was there anything in the video that you found difficult? Is there something unique to your dog that might give us some insight into what is going on?
So if I have my dog fixed @ a year old will he still lift his leg?
I’m not a veterinarian but my experience says most likely
Please let me know why you don't recommend to neuter the dogs before six months. Thanks
Hi Billy. This video influenced my current recommendation about this procedure.

I have a un-neutered two year old German shepherd w 12% Labrador in him and he hates puppies and will growl and lounge. I don’t know what to do anymore Ive tried quite a few things but jot everything! I hope you can help me out and give me some tips so we can enjoy dog parks and other fun activities
I’m sorry you’re going through this. Have you considered getting a professional dog trainer involved to train your dog and coach you? I feel they will do a much better job than I can here.
Hey i hope you notice this!
My dog is 1yr old right now he is an aspin which i love very much.But the problem for me is he keeps on marking ang peeing anywhere.My relatives want him out of us because it's marking everywhere Sofa's,beds,curtains and even on pillows.I love this dog so much but he is in trouble because my relatives want him out now what should i do.ilove this dog so much please help me.
I’m sorry that you are struggling with this. The best advice I can give you is to do two things well. First, manage your dog very well. This means the dog doesn’t get any freedom to do the things you all don’t like that he does. For me, that means, he is either in a playpen, crate, or with you. He should spend as little time as possible in the crate and play pen. He should spend as much time as possible with you. When he is with you, you need to train. Have the dog on a leash and have a food pouch on your waist with his daily meals. Start training, don’t let him screw up any more and prove to your relatives that he can be an excellent dog.
Yeah that's what iam gonna do.Thank you very much for your loving advice♥️
We have 2 Small male dogs who use puppy pads. They will pee on anything vertical.
I have two male dogs and one female and the older male pees on the female dog when they go outside and everywhere in the house as well what should I do to stop this?
I'm sorry that you are struggling with this. You or a member of your family are probably going to have to be there with your male dog and on leash for the next two weeks to prevent your dog from doing this. If after the first week of you all being consistent, I would give the male dog some freedom. If he tries to pee on the other dog again, then it may be time to correct that dog.
My 7 months old pup is marking inside the apartment. What’s the best age to neuter him?
This is a good question and probably best answered by your veterinarian. My opinion is to only consider this after the growth plates on the dogs major bones have closed.
In regards to marking, structure the environment so that your dog can’t make the mistake and you’re heavily rewarding where your dog should go for at least the next two weeks. This article might help.

Just wondering what my neighbors will think if I pop a squat in my front yard 🤣

One question I had from your video was about being very diligent and using a leash. Do you keep your dog that is marking on a leash and with you at all times when not in their kennel? What I mean is, say I’m watching tv or on computer. The dog would be on a leash at my feet so they can’t just roam our house freely? I did I enjoy you video by the way.
sophiesmom8 I’d say maybe. One of the reasons I encourage you all to keep a leash is because each time your dog practices doing what you don’t want them to do, they get better. So, if you see that they start the pattern of searching where to mark, you can more easily interrupt it if that leash is on them. You know your dog better than I do. Can you trust them?
Longoriahaus Dog Training Dexter is sneaky...he will go tinkle when your not looking. The weird thing about him is he actually pees next to the edge of our couch(leather thank goodness) or next to our recycle bin. It’s like he thinks he’s marking his territory but not lifting his leg high enough, he’s 1 year old
sophiesmom8 I wouldn’t trust him yet. Prevent him from making the mistake and heavily reward when he’s right. Try to do this for 14 days.
I am having problems with my French mastiff. He used to be potty trained and now that he started lifting his leg he keeps peeing inside the house. I wake up in the morning come downstairs to 3 or 4 puddles of pee that I’m constantly cleaning up :( he is turning a year old this weekend. And what sucks is he won’t do it in front of me or when someone is around, it’s more when he’s belt himself so I am not able to correct him because I don’t see him do it
Crate him overnight - dogs don’t want to pee where they sleep!
I can’t get my 5 year old male Doberman to stop marking I also have his son who is 3 which I know is part of the problem I have tried every cleaner possible I’m going to strict his romancing access heavily now I am tired of cleaning my new couch everyday
We’re he pea at put some vice vapor rub on it so when he goes to smell it it’s gonna burn the shit out of his nose and he’s going to run
My daschund was altered at 7 months as was my other male daschund which is now 8. The now 1year 1/2 puppy is beginning to lift his leg and marking on tires, air conditioner....what the hell? My oldest Daschund never began doing this. Why is the youngest starting this even with being altered?
I'm going through the same thing, some dogs are more territorial than others. I guess its going to take a lot of training🤷♀️
Yup 8 months my doby started doing this
My dog is a chow and from the day I brought him to home in three days later he was house trained. He is five months old and has finally figured out how to go down stairs to the basement. Which is fully developed. The basement has new underlay and carpeting. My sons dog is a female . She is 4 years old and has been downstairs visiting us many times. My dog started marking in the basement. I am at a loss as to what I should do. He never marks anywhere in the house except downstairs. He has done this four times. Besides saying bad boy right after he did it nothing has worked
The simplest solution may be to first not give him access to the basement for the next month. Then, when your on one of your daily walks, reward him when he marks exactly where you want him to. I’d do this for the rest of the month.
My 19 month old Doberman marks on EVERYTHING. Couches, beds, furniture, kitchen island. It's causing soo many issues. :(
He's a 5 year old, rescued chained yard dog. He was neutered yesterday.
My dog is 5. He never goes in our house, but we can’t take him anywhere because he will mark in other peoples’ houses. Any tricks to stop that? Thanks.
We have a 10 week old puppy. He is marking EVERYWHERE!!! I am conflicted because I want to keep him on a leash tied to me and my husband thinks its not necessary. So he ends up peeing in the home, gets put outside, and after 15 minutes he comes back in. We also have training pads, one by the front door and one by the back door, when he wakes up, I put him on the pad and keep him there for about 5-10 minutes. But after that, he will get off the pad, and go find clothes, a comfortable spot, whatever he can think of and pee. My husband keeps telling me that dogs won't pee where they sleep...well lo and behold, he is constantly peeing in his bed and we are always washing it or buying new ones. Please help. I honestly don't know what else to do.

So we just got a pound pup that's 2 years old seems like outside dog, he just at neutered at 2 years old. He was peeing on the couch. 1st day. He did it twice I watched this and had my 11 year old son go outside and pee on the fence post and 5 minutes later he went to the place my son peed and peed. We immediately gave him treats.
My dog he's peeing on the kitchen tables and dining and almost anywhere! My dad is getting really angry and he says if he doesn't stop he's gonna kick him out and I love my dog but I really need help! I have a female Siberia husky and since she's arrived he started doing that. I don't know if he's marking or just peeing since he has a pad In the kitchen we're he can pee help!!!
I’m sorry you’re struggling with this. I’d suggest you get a professional dog trainer involved. If that not possible send me a text and I’ll help you sort this out. 8327345189
For some reason even when I leave my Shih Tzu (Gizmo) in my room by himself he still marks his territory on the corner of the bad also when I take him to my sister house with me and we get ready to leave I put him in the bathroom and he marks everywhere in the bathroom even after being taken outside.
Is there any chance that he is confused about what he’s supposed to do? Would a crate in those rooms help prevent him from having those accident? How well are you rewarding him when he does mark in an acceptable place?
@@AltheDogTrainer I’m not sure. And when he was younger we had him in a crate but when he is left alone he has accidents in the crate. And I do think if I start to reward him a little more the accidents wouldn’t be so often but by me disciplining him as well when he marks in the house it’s like it’s not working and the crazy thing is he knows when he is in trouble when he marks in the house.
I feel that the advice I give at 2:28 is really the thing that will make all the difference. If your dog doesn’t know where you want them to go and why it’s so good for them to do that, then any place is just as good. Make this beyond obvious to your dog before you ever consider corrections.
My puppy started urine marking at 5 and a half moths yikes😬
I've rescued a a dog he's nearly 5 he's been an outside for 4 yrs he's a scared dog but he's always been outside but he's peeing everywhere and on everythin I've had him a month but any time you say no he gets scared I don't want him to feel afraid of me
We have a 15 year old bichon frise and he has always been very clean and we never had accidents with him in the house and he never marked in the house. A couple of months ago we got a second bichon frise puppy, he is 5 months old, they are both males and are not neutered (i don't really like the idea, i mean, if i had a kid, i wouldn't want him neutered lol). The pup likes to play and lick the older dog but sometimes when they get too excited the pup marks the older dog's pillow, or where he sleeps. Sometimes, the older dog marks near the pup's crate. He never did this and we want it to stop, from both sides. We tried to keep them separate, and give them short sessions of playing together but whenever they get together for some time, the marking happens. It doesn't happen all over the house, and they do not mark inside the house when they are in separate rooms. How can we stop the marking and keep them calmer when they are together? I really want them to get along...
Have you considered not giving them the privilege of playing together inside your home? It seems that they will grow out of this but I wouldn’t give them the opportunity to make any mistakes in your home. Good luck
@@AltheDogTrainer hi, thank you for your response. Well actually, they aren't really playing because the older dog is just too old and all that he wants to do is sleep... So, i should just keep them in separate rooms or the pup in the crate for the majority of time?
This is hilarious 😆 I never thought about going where u want the dog to go lol ... ok so I have a seven year old dog that started marking all over the place right after we got our female dog neutered.....why is he all the sudden doing this ?? Does he think she’s now a male dog as well??
That’s a great question. It’s really hard to know but I would encourage you to spend the next several days reinforcing where your dog should go and try to prevent your dog from going inside.
We inherited a 3.5 year old Maltese male- he is marking. I bought him some diapers to wear in-between going outside. It’s been a month/ I take him out every hour(I set an alarm!!) - but if I don’t have the diaper in him- he still marks. He has 2 walks a day- so it’s not that. My question for the guy that did the video is/ if I fix him will he still mark. (Not looking for comments about benefits of fixing him- I’m in a gated community- we don’t have dogs or cats freely roaming/ all animals are on leash or fines are handed out) the only song I. Shelters here are in wanted dogs that are most likely already fixed.
Mister PuppyPants I think he still will mark because of his age. Marking is a secondary sex characteristics and because he’s gone through puberty the behavior is now there in his repertoire. I do think that if you neuter him testosterone is going to go down so the behavior will go down to some extent. One of the things I want you to consider is the amount of freedom that you’re giving him and the opportunity to make the mistake. I would personally take up his water bowl, control that and I would also use a playpen for several weeks to prevent him from marking. I hope this helps.
Longoriahaus Dog Training what does preventing them from marking for a couple weeks do in a playpen?
I have a Pom boy who is a markaholic and he will prob just piss on the gate
Lord Thornton Eddington that’s a good question. Perhaps I mis spoke in the video about using a playpen to prevent marking. I would use a crate to prevent marking though. The reason that I would prevent marking for two weeks while I heavily reinforced marking where I wanted is to diminish the association and help the dogs brain forget that he ever marked indoors at all.
7 months for me and i was just about to talk mad shit when you said nuder 😂😂 but you said not too.
Logan Beddard it does work but I like letting my dogs become their genders. It makes them more complete!
Same here
@Ian Mangham Hello! I wouldn't recommend neutering him at this point. I would supervise he more than you are currently doing. This is easy for me to say but he has more freedom than he is ready for. Try taking up his water bowl, having him with you as much as possible practing place stays and then making remarkable rewards when he pees where you want him to. Try that for a week and let me know how that goes.
I'm nuder than him
My male dog marks inside the house. He was neutered at 6 weeks by the breeder
So is after 7 months ok to neuter?
It's my opinion to only do it if it is medically needed. That works for me. I train dogs to solve problems I have with them. I don't remove their organs.
My puppy is 8 months and is marking every 5-10 minutes no matter what I do. Help...
I’m sorry you’re going through that. Feel free to text me and we can have a conversation about your specific set of circumstances. 832-734-5189
I correct my dog after he mark on my couch and he tried to bite me😢 i just scream at him and point my finger and he tried to grab it.. i adopted my dog 2 yrs ago
You might consider getting a professional trainer to help you sort out your training
My male dog keeps pooping around my house and I have tried everything to make him stop. He is about 3-4 months old. He is a yorkie btw. He refuses to listen to me as well. Its honestly getting get on my nerves because he only poops when we are not watching him. As cute as he is and I do love him its getting to that point where am going to have to find him a different owner. My husband refuses to get him fixed as well because he wants to sell his sperm ( I don't know why 🙄). Can you please help with this issue?
Get a crate, the only way you can sleep at night, confine him to the kitchen, then in the morning put him out side, have him near you at night and pet him but not on the floor, I say up! Up! If mine go on to the floor, when you go out crate him, with toys treats and radio on, with dog blankets, mine love their cages they lay in them in the day with doors open even when I’m home, it’s the best I could do as I felt like the dog and not the owner so now accidents happen still but in the same place
My problem is that we have a doggie door and all of a sudden last week my dog is starting to pee in the house. He's 1, Yorkie poodle. I think I am going to have hubby pee on he turf pad and see if that works
My dog keeps on pissin on the packages and I'm kinda confused on how to stop it
I have a similar problem, my dog always pees on bags, trash bags, shopping bags, purses, all bags!! I have no idea why!
Every side of things in my home my dog has peed on. He’s an older dog quite old but he’s definitely marking his territory. And I don’t know how to stop it. This video was no help.
I have never been able to catch his peeing inside! he is 10 months old and it has been going on for about a month now, he is ruining my furniture!!
Have you considered having him on a leash while he is inside? You may also consider not having water readily available. I’d keep it behind a closed door or at least off the floor. Then when you do give it to him, either keep him with you on leash, or at least in a crate in the same room with you.
What about female puppies marking ?
In general I think you could apply my potty training protocol to address this problem. I’ll go ahead and leave that here for you.
1. Do not give your dog free unlimited access to food and water. Notice I'm not saying to not give these essentials to your dog but rather limit how much availability they have to them. Why do you ask? These two things are the driving factor to what you are struggling with.
2.Give your dog supervised access to food and water. I prefer to give the food during a training session and then let my dog get their fill of water afterward. I would suggest giving one to two opportunities a day but not more than 3.
3. Now that your dog is feed and has had water, crate them in a crate about the size of their body. How long? It varies quite a bit. I'd say to prepare yourself for 20 to 45 minutes.
4. Pay attention. Listen to the sounds your dog makes and learn which sound means they are ready to go out. They will make other sounds too. You can figure this out if you pay attention while they are in their crate.
5. When they are ready, take them to the SPECIFIC potty area you have in mind and then wait. Give your dog plenty of time to do its business. Would 5 minutes be too much to ask?
6. This step is the most important. Please reward your dog the moment they finish going and make it worth your dog's efforts. Don't give just one treat. How underwhelming. Perhaps, move a few paces away and play with your dog.
7. Repeat the heck out of this.
@@AltheDogTrainer Thank you for replying to my message .What we have done is not give the puppy full range of the house and we keep her on the lead with us at all times when not in her puppy play pen .This has stopped her marking . We take her to the toilet every half hour .This seems to be working for us ,well it did today HAHA
@@tracylee4633 I think that's a great strategy. If I can help in any way, let me know.
Well, you were right... my dog only pee's one spot in my backyard now, but my wife was NOT impressed when she got home and I was Pissing in the backyard 😒
My dog started marking my bedroom, clothes and shoes after more than a decade in the house. It is driving me crazy 😤
We just got our puppy and he's constantly peeing and pooping in our home and refuses to go out side unless we walk for 2 hours
I’m sorry you’re going through this. How can I help?
Do what they do to each other. Put them on their side or back as soon as they do whatever it is you don't want, including marking
Donny no need. It might work, I won’t argue that. But why use that when there are other ways to say no without so much conflict?
@@AltheDogTrainer that is the correct way. What better way to train an animal than in the way they instinctively train each other? As a puppy, the mother let's her offspring know in that same way that she eats, then they do; and does the same to ween them from the breast. In this way she teaches them how a dog behaves.
I had a dog try this once. I whipped it for a month and restricted it's water intake. Like a dumb small child they learned really quickly not to mark at all. First and last do I had as a teen.
I have two golden labs one is 5 the other is 1 and half Never had a problem with the oldest But recently The youngest keeps peeing in my mum's room upstairs Every time he has a chance that the door is open They have access to the garden but even if the back door is open to get outside I really don't understand it Nowhere else in the house he will do it and the other dog doesn't at all And he knows that he has done something wrong Most of the time we realize because he is laying in his bed with his head down Avoiding eye contact We don't shout at them or hit them so it's strange he acts this way very confusing We have a rabbit that is loose in the garden We'd let him out every morning and he comes back in every night It's a very large garden where the dogs can run around with a lot to do
My dog marks and he's neutered, how about that?
It does happen. Are you needing help for your dog?
@@AltheDogTrainer well, the answer seems to be, don't let him out of sight if he's indoors, or quick correction before he does. He's not too bad, he just likes one particular recliner
What about female dogs marking in the house? I have a rescue who started peeing on the carpet and now she pees in the same spot all the time.
Have you considered restricting her access to that area? Remember, you’ve got to make meaningful rewards for a consistent number of days at the place you specifically want her to go. You’ll need to do this while not allowing her the opportunity to mark in your home.
My dog won’t pee in my house and goes to the toilet outside. He will only spray in other people’s homes! Very strange but as soon as he does it he’s put outside and left until he learns
Are you still needing help with this?
@@AltheDogTrainer I personally do cause my sister in laws dog keeps marking inside and they refuse to neuter him at this point and he’s 1 year old
