Your Dog Is Peeing In The House
Help! My Dog Is Peeing In The House!
If your dog is peeing in the house it's probably because a) he doesn't know that he's not supposed to do that, or b) he knows better but the need to for wetting your floors outweighs the need for your approval/fear of your disapproval. Let's look at some reasons for dogs peeing in the house.
Male dogs stake out their turf by "marking"(a politically correct term for "peeing"). His urine will tell a potential encroach-er a lot about the marker; age, size, weight and even what the marking dog had for breakfast. But what dog urine really says to another dog is, "This is my territory and you're in big trouble if you don't leave right now!" At around 9 months male dogs hit dog adolescence and start getting all macho, just like adolescent human boys. If your pubescent dog is peeing in the house it's a good time to talk to your vet about the benefits of neutering your male dog.
Is she eating or drinking more water than usual? How's her mood? Her activity level? How old is your dog? These physical signs could be a clues that your dog's behavior is due to a physical problem of some sort.
However, if there are no physical symptoms to explain why your dog is peeing in the house you may want to investigate psychological reasons. While not everyone would agree, I believe that dogs experience a wide range of emotions. Jealousy, anxiety, nervousness or depression could all be reasons for you dog peeing in the house. It may be time to let a dog psychologist help you with your problem. A referral from your vet or an Internet search should point you to a solution.
