Guest Teapot67 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 We've had Buddy for about 5 years now and he's always been pretty good about not going in the house. In the beginning he had some SA and would mess his crate when we went out, but once we stopped using the crate (he's one of the really BIG males and never looked comfortable even in the biggest crate) he seemed to be fine. I'm home most of the time except for short trips out on errands, etc. The last few months, though, he's started peeing on things if we either go out in the evening or if I come home and have to go back out again --- almost like he's punishing me for going out! I always make sure he's been taken out before I go, and I don't make a fuss about leaving or coming back in. Any ideas? (I've already got a 16 old mutt who's becoming incontinent and she makes enough puddles around here....I don't need Buddy adding to it!)

Guest MyHoodies Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Also try a belly band. At least will make clean up a bit easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeofNE Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Also try a belly band. At least will make clean up a bit easier. Not before you take him to the vet. This is a classic symptoms of a urinary tract infection. Quote Susan, Hamish, Mister Bigglesworth and Nikita Stanislav.

Guest SusanP Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Vet visit first of all. But you say your other dog is making puddles? Are you using an enzyme cleaner on those spots? They could be giving your hound the idea that your home is fair game for peeing. At the risk of making an absolute statement, dogs don't use pee as punishment or revenge.
