Please help! I have a 10 month Siberian husky male. He marks all the time. He went through prison training and pretty well trained but he does mark in house now less then before but when we go places, he walks and pees at the same time without even stopping. How do we stop that? He gets out several times a day for bathroom break and separate walks.
I know the frustration. There are few things that can cause your dog to behave that way. I am going to share a video that I explain it all. Please watch it and let me know if you have nay follow up questions. ua-cam.com/video/yUUjrPdpbEk/v-deo.html
The bichon males my mom had and has were never able to stop marking. One of them had to wear a diaper full time. Maybe it's an issue this breed has. The one she has now insists on peeing where he sleeps so none of the other dogs (poms) can have beds either. My mom also considers this normal Male behavior though and doesn't do anything. He sleeps on her bed and pees on it and she doesn't seem to notice because she has allergies and is a mouth breather so doesn't notice smells and doesn't believe it or care unless it damages furniture. Some people really don't care if their little "furbaby" p*sses everywhere. Maybe there's some connection with infantilizing dogs, treating them like babies, and then literally having to put then in diapers
I just came across this video and it makes perfect sense. I have two dogs. One is a female about 4 years old, spayed and a little dog who will be two years old in June, not neutered. These two dogs get along very well. That isn't the issue. My female is perfect in the house, no issues with her at all. The little male however pees on everything. He was housebroken as a puppy and even though he does his business outside, he also does his business INSIDE. He has peed on my leather furniture, my wood furniture, my refrigerator, stove, in both bathrooms ironically, and has stained my wood floors so badly I don't think I will ever get the stains out. My little guy Jack cries to go outside and I let him out. I also let both dogs out a few times an hour which is excess. Jack has been checked by the vet for any urinary issues and there aren't any. We discussed having Jack neutered and I know there is no guarantee that he will stop peeing on everything. Jack absolutely will not go outside when it's raining (my big dog does) and Jack won't go out on the wet grass even after the rain has stopped. I really love both of my dogs and am beside myself about what to do about Jack's bad habit. I never scold Jack for peeing and pooping in the house. Believe it or not, I have never once caught Jack doing his business inside and he's done it many many times. Jack is very close to me. He likes for me to hold him when I'm on my computer, he likes to be brushed and I brush him a couple of times a week. He sleeps in bed with me and my big dog sleeps on her bed in my room. Sometimes Jack will sleep with the big dog but most of the time he's at the foot of my bed under his blanket. Jack's peeing and pooping has stressed me out but I try not to show it. I find it, clean it up and move on. The stain and odor removers I have used are useless. Just money down the drain but I continue to use them. I need help.
There is something in the house that bothers your dog or something has recently happened which has caused him to get stressed in order to behave that way. Do you know any major changes that has happened lately? Is there something in the house that you just changed or replaced? Any little thing can make your dog to get reactive that way which means he is a sensitive dog. For more info watch the following video. ua-cam.com/video/VB9PbdBqPsE/v-deo.html
I want to Thankyou for your advice. I have an adopted male brought into a home with a male and female dog , He was full of anxiety and marked in and out of the home whenever I turned my back, I followed your advice by making him feel more secure , by crating him when I would leave him alone , he has transformed in to a calm , confident dog and has not marked in the house once in months!
Very interesting perspective and quite possibly just the one I needed to hear. My dog after 8 years is suddenly peeing in the house, on the bed and under the pergola, rather than out in the garden where he’s always done it, and it’s causing all sorts of stress and anxiety.
Thank you so much. My dog has an appointment to be neutered in a month but I’m going to try your method.My son has female dog in upper flat from us & I thought maybe he smells her in heat & is marking but since a puppy he’s been a very nervous dog so maybe anxiety.I’m going to try your method. so glad I found your channel.
I just found this video today, so I don't know if you'll see the comments to respond and possibly help, but, here goes. We recently adopted a male dog (he's about 7 years old). We already have 2 female dogs that are both 3 1/2 years old. All 3 dogs are Chugs and about the same size. The male dog is marking, and we don't know how to make it stop. It's only marking. He's very good about going #2 outside and even his regular peeing. He just insists on marking in the house. It does seem to be around the same areas. He has never peed in our bed or on the furniture (except the kitchen chair once). He has peed on shoes on more than one occasion. Also, although he's very good about going outside in the grass, he also intentionally marks the concrete patio. We don't know much about his history except that he was left at the shelter with 4 other dogs all from the same household, so having multiple dogs in the house isn't the issue, but it could be "new" dogs and "new" owners. We love him and really want to keep him, but we've got to get him to stop marking. HELP!
The cause of the marking is that your new dog is stressed and anxious in the new place. That is because you have given too much freedom and not much structure. To learn what to do watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/lciImRFwQgM/v-deo.htmlsi=wkIPUmMSPxXr97YO
I have 3 two year old dogs a Doberman, pit bull, and pug and a 1 year old German shepherd but my Doberman ever since he was a baby will not stop marking corners and furniture and our other dogs don’t have this problem but my Doberman will wait until our back is turned or until he is left alone to mark something so he definitely knows he’s not supposed too and I’ve tried a lot of different things and he does good for a while but will start marking after a week or 2
Hi Saro! I have a senior rescue who was neutered well into adulthood (around estimated age 8-9). He is housetrained and doesn't mark or have accidents inside, HOWEVER he doesn't relieve himself promptly when we go on walks. He ONLY knows how to mark, and not how to have a proper potty break JUST for pee/poo. We live in downtown Toronto, and there are a lot of other dogs in out immediate vicinity, and a lot of pee around us. So we over-marks a LOT. Sometimes up to 30 times in a walk. My trouble is that I have to commit 1-2hrs a day taking him out 3 sometimes 4 times a day and walk around while he marks constantly to empty his bladder. On my bad days, I can feel guilty for resenting all the responsibility because I feel like my whole life revolves around his bladder, but it also seems like its unrealistic of most dog owners to find this kind of time, everyday! I'd love to take him of one or two short walks a day, and more potty breaks. How can I train him to understand what it is to have a potty break where he really releases a lot of volume at once? This would relieve so much of my stress!
I need you to understand few things. Although he seems that he is not empty, the fact is that dogs are never going to be empty. They have a reservoir in their bladder which is designed for marking purposes. So, they never get empty even if you try. So, don't focus on getting him empty because that will never happen. Just let him pee few times and take him home. Don't need to spend hours to get him empty. Don't worry, he won't develop health issues like bladder stones or such as long as he is able to pee every few hours, he should be fine. So, don't stress yourself. Just let him pee few times every time you take him out and feel good that you have done your part. If you do that, in few weeks, he will adjust his urination frequency accordingly.
My dog has jealousy issues, and is marking indoor and outdoor. How can train good habits? My first thought is to go back to crate training. Take him out 1x every 4 hours. what else might you recommend? The jealousy issues are traits I inherited from his first owner. He was one of many dogs in his previous household and was not the favorite. He's a goldendoodle, only 1 year. People say to get him fixed and it will change however, i'm not so sure it's that easy. Let me know if you have additional training tips thanks
The best advice that I can offer at this situation is to keep your dog under control, on leash or in a crate while you can't supervise it. Start training him to build trust and confidence and after few weeks of that see if he changes his behaviour.
my 4 year old beagle never marks inside our home… but definitely on walks even on leash and after his main pee… he constantly sniffs as all beagles do and you know it’s coming when he finds a spot that’s interesting.. especially a tree, plant mailbox post or fire hydrant he will also mark inside say a pet store where there are other dogs and at the dog park.. where i’ve seen dogs mark other dogs… it can be a wild place but i always chalked it up to wolf behavior
I have a male Shih Tzu who will be two years old in December. I don't intend neutering him. He's the love of my life. Was potty trained when he was just 3 months old. Never messed in the house. I am living in India. Now relocated to Goa. after my late husband's death. Presently, residing in a gated complex but we do have a few unhealthy looking stray dogs roaming around my villa. Hence I haven't been able to walk my baby.ever since I've been here. Goes to pee and do his job in our garden and back yard. My son has a female dog and a male cat. Both neutered.. My Shih Tzu is constantly after my son's dog licking her. The vet said it's due to her hormonal secretion which excites my dog. The past four months my dog has been marking his territory on my furniture, my son's belongings, his bed and his dog's bed when he runs up to greet him. Got him a belly band but the vet advised against using it. Said it could cause a urinary infection. When Deno my dog marks his territory he looks straight into my eyes when I say Deno is a naughty boy, who did this? Gently growls back and does not allow that spot to be washed. He goes down every couple of hours to pee. The past two weeks, I have done exactly what u have mentioned in your video. Put him on his leash and kept him close to me. I do find an improvement. My son tends to punish him which I totally disagree with. I am gentle but firm. Also, I would like to mention, he's a very affectionate loving dog. Loves to be cuddled and kissed under his neck and belly. Why then does he attack me viciously at times.? While grooming sometimes if I try to turn him gently or by mistake while brushing pull his fur very gently he goes absolutely crazy and attacks me. Has bitten me twice. At times he's as good as an angel. Love's being groomed.. Always by my side except when it's cliose to his.meal time. Waits patiently near the kitchen for the cook to give him his bowl. Sleeps with me at night. A very intelligent and a clever dog. Understands everything when spoken too. I will truly appreciate and be happy to know if u could guide me. Maybe, I am too loving and gentle with him and hence attacking me.. He knows I love him very much. Gets terribly upset when I pretend to cry for being attacked. Licks me on my face and whines loudly saying he's sorry.. Hope to receive a response as and when u have the time.. Have a blessed day. 🙏
Being gentle and firm is good but firm and clear is better. Clarity will bring his stress down and his confidante up. You and Deno may have a great relationship but may need some more improvement. Let's say you have a 90% quality relationship but sometimes the 10% can mess up the rest. Try improving the 10% by following this formula. ua-cam.com/video/UexXJy7PcT8/v-deo.html
I was given a beautiful 4-year-old Pomeranian jack Russel cross last September. I find he is reluctant to do his needs out the back yard he loves going for a walk, but he marks all the time and most times he will have a bowel movement. the problem is he will mark in the corridor in the house I have tried spraying vinegar to stop him but to no avail. I am pleased with his overall behavior, and he is fairly obedient except when he goes out a night, he sees a possum and he will not come in until almost 2am he runs away when I try to catch him. He is such a lovely dog and I have come to love him so much as he sleeps with me and is a very good watch dog. I am 85 so unable to walk him more than once a day. I just wish he would not mark in the house. Can you help me?
So, he has been with you for almost a year. The marking in the corridor is a conversation with you that he wants you to know to help him regarding his mental state. He is leaving messages to you saying that he needs help. He feels insecure and not confidante about his life. You are probleble sharing too much affection and not much guidance and directions. You need to somehow provide him his daily required exercise which is physical stimulation, plus his daily mental stimulation with some one on one play and train, his daily socializations, care and then affection. Do your best based on limitations and abilities to fulfill his needs. Regarding chasing possums, simply take him out (during the day) on a leash or attached to a rope so you can get him back plus it gives him some assurance that he is connected to you.
Great video! I feel I controlmy dogs quite a bit, but they continue with this behavior. They don't pee inside, but they mark every 20 steps they take outside. How can I stop them from "competing"? They are both 6yr old mix french poodle males. I've tried treats, exercise, not letting them pee immediately when we go out, but they continue with this.
Training, including to provide their daily five essential needs will help them to gain more confidence and pay more attention to you and your cues rather than getting distracted by what is out there. They are simply to focused on the smells rather than being focused on you.
My 3 year old Yorkie is constantly peeing and marking in my house. He was spade at 18 months. He gets a lot of attention and we go for walks regally. I am desperate. I take him out often and although I work full day he can freely go out side. It is if he only do this when I'm not looking. I have never ever saw a dog wee this much, not even big dogs. He sleeps with me and never pee in my room. He is a very happy dog.
I understand your frustration with your Yorkie's marking behavior. It sounds like you're providing him with attention, walks, and outdoor access, which is great. Marking behavior can sometimes be related to territorial instincts or even medical issues. Since you've mentioned that he mostly does this when you're not looking, it could be beneficial to supervise him more closely and consider crate training or confining him to a small area when you're unable to watch him. This might help in preventing the marking indoors. Additionally, consulting your vet is a good idea to rule out any underlying medical conditions that could be contributing to the excessive peeing.
Thank you for your suggestions for stopping a dog from marking in the house. My 10 year old house broken Chihuahua started marking a couple of years ago, and with your help I think I now understand why and what to do. It makes perfect dense now that you have said it. I liked your video and will watch more of them. My dogs are pretty well-behaved, but there’s always room for improvement. Question: What do you suggest for a hyper dog? I have an 20 month old miniature golden doodle who at times is wild and is very difficult to calm down. Beside more exercise, is there anything else I can do?
Thank you for your comments and for being part of the community. I am in the process of making a video about hyper dogs. It will be posted on Saturday, Oct. 28. For now, you can watch a video that I have made some time age. ua-cam.com/video/H9Ob39L0Nxs/v-deo.html
Don’t know if u r still responding, but I just got a new dog to pair with the other dog I already have at home. They met away from the house and were great together. When I brought them home tho, my original dog started marking around the house and seems to be dominating the dog that I just adopted that is nervous and submissive right now. How do I go about this situation so they can both live together as equals? Thanks!
Your dog is for sure not happy with the new edition and that is why it is marking around to let you know how it feels. I explain how to deal with a situation like this in this video: ua-cam.com/video/yatyjFbHEW4/v-deo.html
I never had problems with my dog peeing in the house until we started taking him to a trainer for ecoller training . He hates the car and that was were the peeing on things started in the car now my apartment. Should I stop with the training or reduce? That seems to be his anxiety
One of the main reasons I don't suggest e-collar training is because the after effects of it. It causes pain and leaves trauma that will lead to development of other issues. Defiantly, stop the training with that trainer. For now, your goal should be to help your dog with trauma. Are you able to hire a force-free or positive dog trainer? If not, let me know to see if we can work together.
The hormones' and few other things can cause stress in your dog. ( I am guessing it is not neutered because of show dog). Find out what they are and start reducing them.
My Chihuahua is exactly that way. He pee so damn much, its driving me crazy. A few days ago he peeid on me, while trying to put on his harness. He peeid each time he get super excited.
That is just sign of few things. One could be that he is drinking too much water due to eating dry food. When eating dry food they tend to drink a lot of water. By changing the diet you will see your Chihuahua will drink less and pee less. The other thing could be that he is not fully potty trained. You may want to work on that. Also, when a dog pees on it's owner, it might be that your dog is claiming you. If your dog is peeing out of excitement, it could be that he can't control his bladder.
Hey! I got a two year old husky about two months ago. From what his previous owners told me, he’s very dominant and dog aggressive towards not only other big dogs, but puppies as well. He came from a breeder who had two other adult huskys who hated him & bit him constantly. We believe that was the root of his problem. We took him in with the plan to try to “retrain” him. At first, I assumed his marking was normal because of the new environment, but it’s become an excessive thing just like the dog in this video. I just need help trying to find out why he’s doing it so much. Everytime we take him to the park, it seems like he’s more concerned about marking every tree or stump. Also, we do have two German Shepherd Puppies that we also introduced to him in hopes that it will help his aggression. From what i’ve noticed, he’s uncomfortable with them wanting to play and it makes him angry & want to lash out. We’ve been giving him a tiny bit more attention than the pups recently to see if that’ll help with anything.
Focus on providing your dog's daily needs. I'd like you to watch the following video to learn what to and how to do things. ua-cam.com/video/lciImRFwQgM/v-deo.html
Hello. My husband and I have a two male dogs that had started marking. It began when my husband started letting them on the couch with him. One is a Chocolate Lab, the other GSD. Both had been completely potty trained, and both are well over 3 years old. I suspect, competition. I had asked husband to stop letting them on the couch. He is not consistent with either dog. From your video, I gathered that like horses, go back to the beginning? Reduce the area they have , put them in kennels again, as if puppies all over again?
I would think, it is more than just being allowed on the couch. There must be something other tan that. But I may be wrong. What kind of dogs are they? The breeds? Dig deep and think if there has been any other changes that have happened in the family dynamics...maybe the following video will give you some ideas: ua-cam.com/video/VB9PbdBqPsE/v-deo.html
@@SaroDogTraining One is a Lab, the other German Shepard. Only one can lay next to him at a time on the couch. So the other has to lay on the floor or another end of the couch. Jealousy? Both are fixed. So are our female dogs. We don't have any trouble with the girls. I am pretty sure they are trying to dominate the other. The cuddling on the couch is the change we've had. How to go about show them , they need not be jealous?. They mind for everything else. Come, sit, stay, they don't go near food unless told ok, don't rush in or out ( l do have to remind them so.etomes, l say "easy") they tells us if they "need" out. I am just not sure what to do.
He sleeps under carpet next to the front door. O.k. up at 5 in the morning, I walk him go to work come home sit outside with him,walk him, get up in the morning have coffee with him and go back to work again. I spend just about all the time I can with him everyday and pretty much neglect my family cause he wants me outside all the time
My beagle is potty trained but he still marks specific places in the house, I almost feel as if he’s trying to tell me something. We have daily walks early in the evening, hot weather where I live and any other hour would be awful for him. Sometimes I’m a bit late because I work from home, when this happens he immediately pees on the fridge. Then next day he pees the stove, only when this happens. Keeps doing it for a few days when he sees me too angry or if I give him an extra walk. The only other marking I can’t explain is that he loves peeing one specific curtain in the living room. I spayed him today so I hope he becomes less inclined to do this but I feel the kitchen markings are revenge because otherwise he’d be house broken.
This kind of peeing is usually because something is stressing or annoying your dog. Some changes have happened that it is not important to you but it is effecting your dog. Your dog is a sensetive one so find out what it is.
What you said makes a lot of sense about our Shichon. He has some anxiety and is older and just started marking in the house a few months ago. I know it is a competitive thing because there was a neighbor with a big dog that scared him one day and for years since he only wants to poop and pee as close to their yard as possible and always looks over at their house to see if they are watching. We will try the less freedom and additional training. Thanks!
Hi i got 11 month shih tzu he’s been potty train but just recently he’s been marking inside and outside excessively.. please help me what to do. Thanks!
A friend of mine has a one year old puppy, female, and sge pees in the house whenever she gets excited, for example when visitors come over, or when they visit someone else. So its more enthusiastic peeing. Any tips would be very much appreciated! He already walks her before visits, but she still pees when enthusiastic.
Teach and practice sit and stary with friends and family members so the dog gets familiar with the guests coming procedure. Feed fresh food instead of dry food to reduce the water intake therefore less stress on bladder and less accidents. Also, make sure there are no bladder infections or issues.
Thank you for this video! My dog got neutered 2 months ago he’s 8 months old bichon frise. He keeps marking outside when i take him out. How exactly do I control him and train him to just pee one time?
Neutering won't help in this case. The marking is a normal dog behaviour but over-peeing is a sign of a stressed dog. Watch the video once again as I explain how to reduce the stress and control the peeing.
I have a Yorkie. He had accidents in the house and tired to hide them. He has had multiple owners and I assume that he was abused before. I think he is on the older side but he was pretty well trained. Than it’s like now he does it on purpose. He pees everywhere but tries to get as close to me as possible. And it’s been getting worse and worse at first he used to pee and hide and now he’s doing it and looking at my husband or trying to pee on me. Today he peed on my foot. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to give him away but my husband is completely fed up.
He pees everywhere as soon as we put him down and stop giving him attention. He even pees in his crate and lays in it. His crate doesn’t have a bed or anything so he is laying in his own pee. He pees inside and outside multiple times. The more strict we get the worse he seems to get
I am so sorry that you are going through this. I remember years ago, while I was training some students at a park, I saw a dog lifting its leg and peeing on its owner. It was shocking and surprising for me to see that. It was very embarrassing for the dog owner as everyone saw it. When a dog does such a thing, it is a clear signal to me but not to the owners that the dog is very stressed and confused and it is expressing its feelings to the owner by visually communicating it. But the dog owners see it as a dog that is misbehaving but it is not. Due to your dog's past and current experiences, it is clear that your dog is in need of help from you. I bet you share a lot of affection with him and maybe correct him here and there but not much of structural guidance and clear communication. In order to help your dog, you need to provide your dog's daily five essential needs and to learn what they are please watch the following video: ua-cam.com/video/2bVyNOnaCJ0/v-deo.htmlsi=b8PVqaOZZ_EFiids
Help! I have a 2 year old westie and since I got him on every walk or place we go he would keep on peeing I am now trying to train him to do agility and it’s quite difficult when he stops in the middle of a course to pee!!!
Focus on two things. Basic obedience and off leash training before you start or continue with the agility. The basics will help your dog to to gain confidence. That is the reason why he needs to mark here and there. Focus on getting the basic obedience to 100% rather that 99%, first. Also improve the off-leash control so your dog won't be focused on other things and be focused on you when off-leash.
Great question. It's not if it's OK or not. It is a sign that your dog is stressed and needs help. When a dog is marking too much, it means that they are overwhelmed and they need help to calm down Just make sure to get your dog's attention to you to help it calm down and you will see, it won't mark as much. You can use the following video to get some ideas about how to help the dog to pay attention to you. ua-cam.com/video/KYYeyJibXH4/v-deo.html
Too funny... our older puppy ONLY marks the fridge! And you even brought up the new fridge or counters can be seen as competition?! Wow who would have thought! Insightful vid -I will try your ideas, thanks!
Hello I thank you for your wonderful information..I have owned many rotties. I have a three-year-old rottweiler who has been housebroken but still will mark when he knows we are not in eyesight, Especially on the couch or particularly in my bedroom.. He knows better than to do it when we are in the Room and he waits untill we leave.. How do I combat this ??? Please and thank u
Wonderful! There is something that is bothering your rottie in that particular room, has meaning or something happened in the past. Something may be stressing your dog from the past or recently. Think deeper to find out what changed? More info here: ua-cam.com/video/yUUjrPdpbEk/v-deo.html
I don’t have an issue with my dogs marking inside, but outside. I have 3 1 and a half year old pit mixes. Two are neutered and one is intact. The one who’s intact marks outside in the backyard over the others and I now notice the others started to mark in the backyard as well. I’ve been correcting it. Is that what I should do? I notice it frustrates the intact dog. Can issue occur if I leave it alone? Should I?
Depends on the dogs. If it is frustrating for any of them, then you need to come up with a plan to make it less.If a dogs is so focused on that part of life, I think it is a sign that there is a lack of leadership and a dog's needs are not met. Let me know if you have nay follow up questions.
@@SaroDogTraining thanks for your reply. Can you explain more? Asking because all the dogs are very submissive to me and my husband. Take commands well, walk well, are on routines. Don’t have complete access to all parts of the home, etc. in my opinion, the intact male is not a true part of the dog pack. He wants to be alpha but isn’t and doesn’t want to be #3. Also, what frustrates the intact dog is when I stop the marking. Otherwise he’s a happy dog.
If the marking is so important to him, it seems to me that he needs a bit more leadership as he is not neutered and the hormones are taking over. You can either be more on top of him and reinforce to be not so focused on the other dogs or you can just let him be as this could be a good stimulation for him as long as it is not frustrating him. You'd be the judge.
Helllllpppp😫 I have a 5yr old neutered Yorkie and and 18m old spayed Yorkie. Since getting my girl my boy has been marking all over! We’ve tried so many things. Our girl is still working on pt’ing. We use a dog door and she’ll whine to us and walk to the door but won’t go out until we walk over and tell her to go. Sometimes she won’t and she’ll go inside. I know he’s marking due to the change, I’m just at a loss how to make it stop. Unfortunately he’s not kennel trained, she is. He has awful separation anxiety and when trying crates he poops and pees and moves the crate several feet. I don’t think that’s healthy. When we hate him he knocks it down and still marks all over. You say to keep him close on a leash. Will this be a forever thing? I guess that’s my concern. How do they just “learn” to not do it and we can let him off leash eventually? And for when gone what do you suggest? He marks every where no matter the room we confine him in as well. Walls, baseboards everything😞 Any suggestions are appreciated. I’ve been through several videos, you’re a great trainer🙏🏻 Thank you.
Keep it on leash until it is less stressed, it feels confidant, secure and it has been trained. Provide their daily five essential needs. sarodogtraining.com/shop/a-dogs-five-essential-needs-digital-book/
PLEASE HELP ME!!! My neighbours dog is always jumping their gate and he comes to pee on all my things that sit under my open carport. We share a driveway and the dog thinks that my property is aprt of his territory. The owner is antisocial so going to her is not an option. Is there anything that I can spray around my property to deter the dog from coming around my property. Thank you
I believe that "competition" is the reason one of my dogs "marks" any toys that are left on the floor by any of the other dogs or anything that just happens to be put temporarily on the floor . I have 5 Papillons and one Sheltie. It is rare that I catch the one who is the "marker" ... all the dogs are house/potty trained. The culpret is very attached to me and is certainly not lacking in attention. Do you have any more suggestions, other than a revision in potty training or more training, such as advanced obedience or tricks? He is 4 years of age. I forgot to add that one of the young Papillions has the habit of peeing on his food bowl when he finishes his dinner ... a different reason for "marking" but nevertheless just as stressful for me. HELP!!
I have a feeling that there are too many dogs and that causes tension and stress in dogs if they are not following human cues. This happens in dog daycare or boarding places. What I mean by that is that, all the dogs need to be distressed by being trained so their confidant level can get up. I suggest working on each of them a bit everyday for about a month, teaching them to get cues from you and follow your cues, especially the ones that you know are the culprits. At the moment, they are doing things on their own and they think that the human is not in charge so they need to be in charge. I will suggest you to watch the following video and try to practice this with each one of them individually for about a month and see if you get enough results. ua-cam.com/video/lRiNRP8FZfY/v-deo.html P.S. The one who pees in his food bowl, is really confused and stressed. Work on him a bit more. Please let me know if you have any follow up questions.
When you say limit their freedom do you suggest tethering them to me as I do housework or chill on the couch? How long should this last? While I'm cooking I tie my beagle to a dining room chair so that he doesn't come into the kitchen he can easily see me and I communicate with him throughout cooking the meal and often reward good behavior such as sitting and waiting patiently but it often takes him over 30min to settle down jumping up and down on the chair and constantly whining to get untied...
Yes, you can tether your dog to you, to an object, in the crate... so they can b supervised. You do that until your dog learns that needs to stay calm in that spot. This could last five minutes or five months. You repeat this until your dog learns what you expect. Try to focus on physical and mental stimulation before asking your dog to stay calm.

I am dog sitting 4 dogs 2 belong to one person the other 2 someone else's..all 4 are older None have any training ..2 pits 2 dautsuns They are familiar with each other and the house I am watching ..the 2 Pits are going through. Separation issues...I was hoping to get some needed trading while the people are gone.can older dogs be trained?.I want to take them out. I need for the one male pit not to pre on everything..furniture ..actually everything..
So, you are dealing with 2 issues. Separation anxiety and excessive peeing. The excessive peeing is due to being stressed and the stress is due to being away from the parents. If you want to train them to tolerate it, you can't train them. The owners need to do it. Your job should be keeping them mentally and physically stimulated so they won't focus on the separation.
I have shit zu - Maltese mix that’s a bit over a year old. Every-time I take him on walks he’ll pee on every tree he comes across and when I take him indoors he will always pee at foots of the bed or along the corners of the wall, even on the garbage bin. Any advice?
I adopted a 5 year old male poodle mix un-neutered. I did get him neutered but he marks EVERYWHERE!!! Inside and outside. I have two other dogs, one male and one female, no problems with them. I have stopped letting them all in the house, I do still let them in my bedroom with wood floor and a door to the backyard which is always open for them to come in and out. I keep an eye on him and correct him when caught in the act. I’m going crazy with all of the marking!! I don’t want to tie him up as I work long hours. I believe he’s just marking saying this is his territory and not for other reasons. I don’t know what else to do. I’ve always been able to train my dogs but always got them when puppies. This is my 1st time adopting and having the worst luck with him. I’ve had him about a year and a half now!
Your new dog is just feeling "non confident". That's because he is new in your house, new environment and new lifestyle. Especially that there are other dogs he feels less confident. It's not that he is marking his territory. He is marking to say that he is a tough guy but I bet he is not a tough guy at all, right? He is a softy, sweet boy. So, what you need to do is few things to bring his confidence up. One of them is to start a training session at home to go over the basics. I will link the videos that you could watch at home and start the training. There is another video that I want you to watch which I explain what mistakes that you are making. Plus a video series that I talk about adoptions do's and don't. So you have few videos that you need to watch. For training watch these: ua-cam.com/video/2CvtFcNJTuM/v-deo.html For not making common mistakes watch this: ua-cam.com/video/99vu4ueEaVE/v-deo.html For adoption do's and don't's watch these: ua-cam.com/video/ZNsicP7SGz4/v-deo.html
@Patricia Douglas, That is a band aid solution which may help the dog owner temporarily but it won't help the dog to get over the anxiety. I always suggest doing the harder work to get a longer lasting, better results for both the dog owner and the dog.
I believe our dogs are doing this because I've started working and they do it because they are mad that im not there as much and when I am im not spending as much attention as I usually do with them. Is this a possibility b reason why they are doing it excessively now. My oldest is 8 years old youngest is 6
Not really. Marking is a behavioural matter which mainly signs of a stressed dog. Your other dog may be stressing this dog. It could be either competition or too much affection shared. Work on training and helping your dog distress. Here is a video to help you with distressing your dog. ua-cam.com/video/yviGby4o4wk/v-deo.html
HELP! my brother left his two shorkie males at my place and they mark so much I had no choice but to crate them. they were NEVER potty trained and now a year old... will nuetering help? it is downright embarresing as they do it on people too :(
Neutering won't help. You need to train or re-train them. Here is a video which will guide you to know what to do. ua-cam.com/video/yUUjrPdpbEk/v-deo.html
PLEASE HELP, I have a Great Pyrenees that will be 1 year old in 3 days, he is house broken and trained very well. He is my service dog. But last week while in a store he marked, now I am afraid to take him into stores and I really need him to go with me. He has never done it before and he has never done it in the house either. What do I do?
I am guessing something new has happened in yours or his life and is getting stressed. This is a sign that you might need to restart the training to distress him. Please contact a service dog (or your current trainer) trainer to get started on some training or even going back to basics. Re=training will help. Has anything new happened?
Hi my 2.5 years old Labrador marks excessively when we leave him with a sitter, or any one else than me tries to walk him, now I understand that he gets anxious around new people, so how do I address this issue? Thanks in advance 😊
Try to distress your dog and train it. Start with basic obedience. Training will not only allow your dog to know what it needs to do but also it will help it to gain confidence and relax. Here are the videos that you can watch and start training your dog today at home. ua-cam.com/video/2CvtFcNJTuM/v-deo.html and if you want to join my online course start here: saroboghozian.com/online-dog-training/
I have a 4 y/o Rottweiler . He had an underground fence system . He has full run of the yard , trees , but constantly pees on the garage door . I bring him there , tell him no , and lock him in his dog run for the rest of the day . He knows he's doing wrong because when I go outside by the door , he doesn't follow me and walks away . Any help would be greatly appreciated . Thank you
Can you guess why he will be so sensitive about the garage door? Is there anything in there that he is sensitive about? Something is stressing him out. Block him from getting to the garage door and see if he marks somewhere else.
@@SaroDogTraining he can get in the garage through a doggy door (he pees on the overhead car doors ) . He knows he's doing wrong by his demeanor , he'll even go to his dog run by himself to get locked up . I can't figure it out ? I appreciated you getting back to me though .
Try keeping him on a leash indoors and outdoors, attached to you or in confined areas. start a training session (basic obedience training) every day or every other day for the next month. You will see the results.
Allowing a dog to mark at the park is as if you are leaving comments of social media. You want to use your social media at a fair rate. Not too much, as an obsession and not too little that you are not visible. I would let the dog mark but if I see it becomes an obsession to the point that your dog marks on every tree than it is just too much.
There is something in the house that bothers your dog or something has recently happened which has caused him to get stressed in order to behave that way. Do you know any major changes that has happened lately? Is there something in the house that you just changed or replaced? Any little thing can make your dog to get reactive that way which means he is a sensitive dog. Do you spoil him?
I just have a puppy rottweiler and some time he do his poo and pee on the garden but also on the house and not on the place we provide him inside also for poo.. I'm thinking to give her because of this issue
Spaying is not the main reason for marking. The main reason is stress and anxiety. Something is stressing your dog. Find out what that is and address it. The marking will stop if the cause of the stress has been addressed.
@@SaroDogTraining He is my son's dog. they moved in when his lease was up. We have a 10 year old Pom that does not want to be bothered with the high activity of the puppy. i guess i should keep them separated.
I have a Border Cali Husky Mix around 1 year and a half, he normally stays outside or in our laundry room to sleep at night. I accidentally left the door cracked at night and he got out and went around the whole house and peed on EVERYTHING and Ik he was scared or nervous from him keeping his head down and crouch walking but it really frustrating me that he did that I also noticed when he’s excited to see me he’ll stand against the fence and just start peeing right into the air and most of the time on my leg so is there anyway to help with this?
When visiting our friends she pees in their house. We go for play dates at friend’s house, but we are no longer welcome, because she marks their home. She does not mark in my house. I when I keep her on the leash she doesn’t pee. Help
Does your friend have a dog too? She gets stressed and anxious when visiting your friend's house. Exercise her physically and mentally before you go there to drain out the energy and have her be calmer and more connected to you rather than the environment.
I have a almost 9 year old rottweiler. He was neutered at around 2 years old, after he had already started "hiking the leg" to pee. He's a great dog, well trained, listens to "come", "sit", "stay", etc... but he marks. It's almost like he can't help it. We had to start keeping him in the garage during the day bc he can't be trusted inside. Now when I come home, he will have peed somewhere in the garage, almost everyday. I look at it, then look at him, and he puts his head down bc he knows that it's bad. It sucks bc I have to keep him right where I am, all the time. Even when I'm home, I can't let him go walk around the house unsupervised bc he might mark something. It's not as likely if we are there, but there's no telling. He'll do a quick "drive by" if he thinks we can't see him. He doesn't do the "mark a little bit everywhere" type. He'll mark 1 time, MAYBE twice during the whole work day. I don't think it's a confidence thing. It's almost like he is just triggered to do it. He knows it's bad, as soon as I see it he lowers his head and gets his "sad" face on, but he does it almost everyday. We're at a point now where he's basically on a leash, in the same room with me when I'm home, leash wrapped around the bedpost at night so he can't roam the house and mark, then in the garage while we're not home. It sucks that we can't just let him walk around the house, or that i have to be holding on to a leash all the time, getting it caught on things, having my arm pulled while I'm trying to do other things, etc. I don't know what to do, or if it's too late since he'll be 9 in February. I've definitely decided that I'm only having female dogs from here on out.
This is a sign that he is stressed or anxious or even concern about something in his life or your life. He is communicating to you and is trying to tell you something. If you feel that he is well trained and is not the confidence thing, then look deep into your relationship and you life with your dog. You say that you don't trust him. That is a problem. If you can't trust him, I think, he can't trust you either. Maybe that will give you a clue. Work on building trust and find out what is it that bothers him? Maybe being left home alone (in the garage) is causing him be anxious!
Saro Dog Training yea, I only mean don't trust him as far as marking, just to clarify. I trust him as far as being loving and nice to people. Rolling around on the floor w my son, etc. We've had periods where he was ok, though would still mark sometimes. It's off and on I suppose. Hes been in the garage during the day for the past several months. Before that he could be out but we'd put a "doggy diaper"belly band type thing before that and let him stay in the house. Sometimes it's be clean, sometimes he peed in it, but then he started getting it off enough to pee on things. That's when we resorted to the garage routine. I could crate him. That might be better than the garage as far as him possibly being stressed in the garage. He was crated for the first few years of his life but hasn't been in one for years now. My relationship with him outside of the being in the garage part is fine other than the contentions over marking. Hes in the room with me while I play piano, or work on the computer. He sleeps on my side of the bed every night and I constantly show him affection and praise him for good things. Maybe bringing the crate back and getting him some more exercise will improve things. Thank you for the response!
I think the crate would be a good idea. Dogs are happier when having a smaller space for sure rather than the entire garage. Have a happy holiday season.
I got a rescue pup about a little less then a year ago. He learned to be potty trained within the first week of me having him. He never sprayed/marked ever until recently. We have a 10 year old chihuahua that was with us before we got my rescue pup. The chihuahua sprayed and we have him in a diaper but my rescue dog is really big so we can’t put him in a diaper. If he doesn’t stop soon we will have to get rid of him. I don’t want my best friend to leave
It might be that something is causing them to get stressed. I suggest, keeping them confined and under control for a week or 10 days. Please watch the following video for more info and if you need more help, please feel free to ask me. ua-cam.com/video/VB9PbdBqPsE/v-deo.html
I have a pit bull and a pug. When the pug goes pee the Pitt goes and lifts leg above him and pees on him or where the pug peed. Also the Pitt marks everything he can I does and out. I’m sure it’s competition but how do I correct it

Hi sir so I have a mini pin female and a shihtzu Male, my Male dog doesn't mark often but my mini pin wants to mark constantly she even pulls the leash to do it. She wont go bathroom just marking . She waits to go poo inside on a peed pad how can I get her to go outside. I am redirecting when she is marking. I've also stood with her in the grass for 30 minutes what seemed like an eternity and she wont go. Any suggestions????
These are really good questions. One thing is for sure form what you describe is that your min pin, is stressed for some reason. For instance, If she is pulling you to go somewhere to pee, that means the walk is stressing her. You need to work on improving the walk which will need some time to do that. You can watch the following videos to learn how to improve the walks. ua-cam.com/video/WrrRkIWdOIw/v-deo.html Now, to stop the pooping inside the house, I have few videos that you can watch and learn how to solve that problem. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/yUUjrPdpbEk/v-deo.html

I have three chinese crested. All neutered boys. Four yrs old. They all mark in the house and have to wear pee bands. I have tried restricting their movements but they aren’t stupid, they don’t mark when I can see them. But as soon as I give them freedom again they will mark. They get lots of outdoor time and do not mark on their walks. How can I stop a behaviour that is only done when I am out of view?
The reason they do that is because they live under the same roof and are getting competitive among each other. That's because they don't see you as the person in charge even though, they don't do it in front of you. If you were, they wouldn't do it all. So, you want to focus on each individual for the next few weeks and work with each one of them for 15 minutes a day, training them. So, each one gets a 15 minute session with you every day or every other day for few weeks. You will work on the basics which I am going to share the videos that I want you to watch and practice with them. This will help them to relax, gain confidence and put you in a better position from their point of view. Let me know the results in few weeks and ask any questions that you may have.

Hi! pls help my dog Gero is a very dominant male. he is up for mondioring training. every time we go inside the ring of field he keeps on marking.. how do i stop it?
That's a fantastic question. It is not that Gero is dominant. He is actually lacking confidence and the reason he is marking because he is not confidence. A confident dog does not need to mark everywhere. A confident dog will pee once because he or she does not need to prove that it is tough. A dog who is lacking confidence needs to mark to prove to him/her self that is tough dog. So, the way you address this behaviour is by working on the training the basics on Gero more to bring his confidence level up. I have a feeling that you and Gero are not ready for the ring yet. You need to work on the basics more before letting him off - off - leash in the ring. How long have you been training him for? How old is Gero?
I would then suggest to work on the leash for about 3 months rather then off leashing. There might be other reasons that have caused Gero to behave that way. It's not only in the ring but overall in his life. Maybe this video will shed some light. ua-cam.com/video/VB9PbdBqPsE/v-deo.html
What does it mean, I tooked my dog pit of his cage, and he laid on his back... he wanted a belly rub. So as soon as I started giving him a belly rib, he literally started peeing. What should I do? And what does that mean? Oh I had some guests over too.
You just need to take him out right away to let him pee first and then continue doing everything else. It just means that his bladder is full and need to pee right away. You need to take out your puppy every 2 to 3 hours until he is potty trained. If you nee more info about potty training, you can watch the following video. ua-cam.com/video/4RqXO17EY-U/v-deo.html

@@lindadenny6024 Yes. That comes to reason number 3 which is competition. They are competing with other dogs. It is still stressful for them but it all depends on how competitive they are.
@@lindadenny6024 Even though, he loves other dogs and everyone, in dog world they still compete. It is natural. It is OK for him to mark but if it becomes too much and too often, then you know that it is a sign that your dog is stressed and you need to help.
Yes, he seems stressed. He was left outside for HOURS with his last owner, i mean like 12-15 hrs alone in a huge back yard!! Ive had him for 8 weeks now, training him, he is appx 15 months. I walk him 2 to 3x a day.
My 3 year old rescue male westie started excessive marking indoors and out. He is crated at night, and won't do it in the house in front of us (but I could literally turn my back for 1 minute & he will have). He has always been a bit nervous - we believe he was ill treated before we got him, but he's been with us for over 2 years now and this only started in the last 6 months. I'm so exasperated and just don't know what to do. 😢 Please help. (and yes, he's neutered).
Please answer, I have a 5 yr old shih tzu who has no problems but a 1.5 year old chihuahua who has always peed in the house but will also go with my other dog outside and pee with him as well, but as soon as I leave he pees in the house. He's never alone for more than an hour I don't understand why he doesn't get it when all of my other dogs have been house trained just fine
The reason he does that is to give you a message that he doesn't like something. In this case, I believe is being left home alone. That comes from a lack of confidence and not knowing what to do in this case. I highly suggest teaching him the wait command. By doing this you are helping him to gain confidence using training and also you are teaching and communicating to him what you need him to do when you leave the house and he will know what to do when he is alone.

Hello! I have a 6 year old male gentle/sweet Bullmastiff. He pees on the living room couch and on a curtain from time to time sneakily. I can never catch him doing it, he does it very quickly and waits until no one is in sight. It's always the same spots and he knows that he has done something wrong because he avoids that area completely afterwards and goes outside to the garden away from us.
@@SaroDogTraining Thank you! I watched the video. It was very helpful. I wanted to add that he use to pee when he would get scared as a puppy but then after that was potty trained. He started peeing inside the house later as he got older when my nephew was born. He initially was peeing on his toys but has stopped doing that. Now my nephew is 3. On and off he continued to pee on the same couch and curtain. He stopped and started again a couple of weeks ago. There were 2 recent changes. One was me, I spent a 1 1/2 in Europe and recently came back. He's very close to me and sleeps outside my door. I also play with him more than my parents so he definitely gets way more attention the last 2 months. Can he pee from getting too much attention? The other change is medication. His vet put him on Thyroxine supplements a couple of weeks ago because he had low levels of Thyroxine.
I have noticed that I have only one male unuetered chihuahua and 5 female chihuahuas one is not spayed. They just had 1 puppy. She is very strong stubborn, all of the dogs are very protective of her. I want to socialize her and train her properly. Any advice, I think that the female presence of the older dogs intimidate him causing him stress and confidence issues. Please help me. Is there such a thing as Alpha female dogs. He is constantly fighting for the Alpha role with the older spayed female Gigi, she has a very dominant personality and acts like an Alpha male. She pees on top of all of the other dogs urine. She has never acted like this before. But I also see that she is very stressed out. I 'm thinking about crating all of them. So they know that they have their own space.
It is not due to being alpha but die to the stress that is surrounding the pack f the dogs. I will have a great podcast coming up soon which it will explain more about the characteristics of your dogs which will make more sense. You can listen to it here: sarodogtraining.com/podcast/
I need help. I have 2 male chihuahua/min pins that are 4 years old and I have their mother. They are not neutered. Mother has been spade. The boys will not stop marking in the house (corner of couches, furniture) and of course everything outside. Is it too late to have them neutered? and will it even help? The boys are fighting over their mother and they fight over me too. I have started putting them in their kennels when they fight. They have to sleep in their kennels at night. What can I do besides give one away?
I doubt that neutering them will change the dynamics between them. You don't have to neuter them now if there is no series reason for it. You can watch the following video for more details. ua-cam.com/video/d6QP7XlejbA/v-deo.html Regarding the reasons they mark everywhere, I feel that it may have nothing to do with mom being around. Something else is causing them to get stressed and they are telling you or giving you the message that they are stressed. I would suggest to look beyond the dogs and look into your life and see if there is something else that has changed and is t may be causing them to behave that way.

I adopted a dog a month and a half ago and he was going potty outside every time. Lately he has been peeing in the house while we sleep. At the beginning he was sleeping in my room, but all of a sudden he wanted to sleep in the living room on his bed, which I let him do, while leaving the door to my room open in case he wants to come in. I take him out late before bed, and he used to wait till morning, but he’s been having accidents for the past week overnight. What can I do? He’s two years old.
Saro Dog Training the thing is that I bring him to my room and close the door, and stands by the door barking and crying till I open it. He’s very stubborn so he’ll be there a very long time doing that. And no, his diet is the same.
Maybe it is time for you two to get up and go for a nice early morning walk. Dogs bring out the best of us and help us live a better and healthier life. Try going for a walk for few days when he gets up for about 20 minute to half hour and see if he relaxes after that.
I just came across your video today while doing a general search to help with this problem. I just found out that I am unfortunately severely allergic to dogs and we have 2 in our house. We have had these dogs since they were 8 weeks old and they are now 11 and 9. Our male dog (9 years) has started marking since we have to contain them to only the uncarpeted areas of our home in order to keep them with my allergies. He specifically marks in 3 places every night. We can never catch him in the act because he is doing it while we sleep. I desperately want to keep both my babies, but we are at our wits end cleaning up every single morning. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you.
You can't have a cake and eat it too. Change your diet so your body can fight the allergy issue that you have. Stop eating carbs and sugar and processed food and sacrifice for not only your own health but for your dogs sake. That way, you won't be reactive to them and they don't have to be locked up in a certain part of the house. Dogs want to be with you and separating them from you stresses them so they pee to let you know how they feel.
@@SaroDogTraining Thank you for your response. Just to assure you, I am drastically changing my diet, but also the dogs are not separated from us except at night. They are in the living, dining, kitchen and utilities areas in the house. They aren't coming into the bedrooms with carpet but are still very much part of the family.
Thank you so much for this video! We have a dog who always goes to the bathroom outside and is trained on doing this, however today when we took her to a friend's house, she peed inside the house. We are going to practice taking our dog out more frequently when visiting others so that she has more opportunities to pee outside, and we had her spend an hour outside today just relaxing to get her calmed down in case it was from being overstimulated. Do you have advice for how to best potty train dogs when they are in places *other* than your home, such as inside someone else's house or in a public building?
If a dog is fully house trained, it won't feel to do it's business indoors in general. If a dog chooses to do it indoors, it's a sign that one, it's not fully house trained or the environment is stressing it out so the dog is leaving a message to other dogs or people about its feelings. So, in your dog's case, I would keep it on a leash or under control during the stay at someone else's place.
Hello. I need some advice and predictions. We used to own a male and female Labrador. They are now 8 years old. The male and female never tried to have sex. He didn't want anything to do with that bust best friends. She had a new friend who was a male and they got right to it. She had a bunch of puppies and unfortunately the male was taken away. I got one of her puppies and brought her home. Now I finially after 6 years want to get her and her best friend back. Her and the male have been living outside in a big cage getting let out to play and exercise daily. They have never been house dogs. So I have my female daughter who has always lived inside. She is calm potty trained and amazing. I want to bring her mommy and her male friend to live with us. I'm not sure how the male will react with the new daughter he's never seen. I also think they will be using the bathroom inside since they were never trained . Do you think the male will pee even more with two females in the house? They are both 8 and the daughter is 6. Also should I get him neutered at this old of an age? Even if he isn't interested in sex? Does it really calm male dogs down? He's always very excited and jumping around so I think this will be a challenge. Any tips for me on how to start training him and introducing him to her daughter?
Do you want that or do you need to get the dog? If you have the option don't put your current dog in stress. For more info about neutering watch the following video: ua-cam.com/video/d6QP7XlejbA/v-deo.html
Hi Sari I really could do with your help! Recently my grandson got an 11 month old Border Collie. When he brought the dog to our house, the dog was obviously nervous and Marked several times. Unfortunately our 5 year old ‘Alaskan Malamute has taken to marking on top of the Collies pea. I understand he’s stressed but am at a loss as to what to do. This has never happened before. Hoping you can help.....thanks
Keep your dog on leash and under control as much as you can while BC is at your place and while they are not interacting. If they are playing, socializing and interacting, that is fine but as soon as they stop, put them on leash and keep them under control. Also watch the following video for more details. ua-cam.com/video/yUUjrPdpbEk/v-deo.html
Help! this is urgent , my dog which is a chorkie is potty trained and he goes to pee in the crate. However when he turned 1 he started raising his leg and when he pees standing inside of the cage , it goes right next to it. How can i fix this behavior ?
My dog always mark areas at my house everytime he sees another dog outside the house we tried scolding him to stop doing that and he still does it anyway
please help me with my dog. he keeps on peeing everywhere and after that he kinda kicks the ground. and keeps me pulling around when we are walking. i hope you will help me with this. thank you.
My dog is really well toilet trained at home and in other peoples houses and we haven’t had a problem until we have started taking him to obedience classes. This week was his second week and he pee’d in the lesson 5 times as well as two he had before he went in, one outside in the middle of the class and he also did one of these pees on my foot. I don’t know why and I don’t know how to help him. Next week we are going to try a later class where there are less dogs and see if maybe he was overwhelmed but other than that I am at a loss! Any advice would be amazing, thank you for your help and producing this video!
The group classes usually stress dogs and that is a normal beahviour of dogs who are not ready to be in a group dog training yet. Try private training for now to train your dog at home with a trainer or use my online dog training course to train your dog at home to bring his confidence level up and then try group classes.
I get this question often so I made the following video. Watch it and let me know if you have any follow up questions. ua-cam.com/video/io5AYPhyP0I/v-deo.html
Is not also social media or posting a motivation for this behavior? My dog like to take wallks down town at the board walk along the water front. He is sniffing the smells and from time to time he finds something he deems worthy of a response. thats my story of it anyway. He's not stressed and he his having a great time on the walk. gets to go swim, and explore the town. meet lots of people and other dogs as well. he is single and well I thought maybe he was posting on a singles wall ? how else might this be understood? He is a 5 yr old border collie /Shepard mix.
My dod is three years old and still peeing inside the house. I tried everything with him like take him out for 3 times a day and once we are back after a few minutes he pees inside
I understand that dealing with a dog who continues to pee inside the house can be frustrating. Here are a few suggestions to help address this issue: Consistent and frequent bathroom breaks: Ensure that you're taking your dog outside for regular bathroom breaks throughout the day. Consistency is key, so establish a routine and stick to it. Consider increasing the frequency of bathroom breaks, especially after meals, playtime, and naps. Positive reinforcement for outdoor elimination: When your dog successfully goes to the bathroom outside, provide immediate praise, treats, and positive reinforcement. This helps them associate going outside with positive experiences and encourages them to repeat the behavior. Supervise and restrict access indoors: Until your dog is reliably house-trained, it's important to closely supervise them indoors. Use baby gates, closed doors, or crates to limit their access to areas where accidents commonly occur. This allows you to intervene and redirect them to the appropriate bathroom spot if needed. Clean accidents thoroughly: It's crucial to clean any indoor accidents thoroughly to remove the scent. Dogs have a strong sense of smell and may be attracted to the same spot if they can still detect the odor. Use a pet-specific enzymatic cleaner to eliminate any lingering scent. Consider using a crate or confinement area: Utilizing a crate or confinement area can be helpful in preventing accidents and teaching bladder control. Dogs instinctively avoid soiling their sleeping area, so crate training can aid in house-training and promoting appropriate elimination behavior. Consult a veterinarian: If you've tried these techniques consistently and your dog continues to have frequent accidents, it may be beneficial to consult with a veterinarian. They can rule out any underlying medical conditions that may contribute to the problem. Remember, house-training requires patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. It may take time for your dog to understand and develop a consistent bathroom routine. With a combination of proper training techniques and patience, you can help your dog overcome this behavior and achieve successful house-training.
My 1 year old pug is now beginning to mark often inside the house. Whenever we take him for a walk he marks everywhere. We have the living room closed off and we keep bathroom and bedroom doors closed but if we forget to close the door he goes in and marks by toilets, the corners of our beds, curtains, and rugs. He has even been marking on our pillows. He used to never mark in the dining room or kitchen (where he is allowed in our house) but now we have found pee on the side of the kitchen island and on the dishwasher. Whenever we are not home we put him in a playpen. How do we fix this problem??
It is a sign that he is stressed for some reason. He is communicating it to you and is telling you how it feels and something is stressing him. Find out what is causing him to get stressed. A new member or a new thing? Any changes? How long you had him now? Can you think of anything that may cause him to get stressed?
@@SaroDogTraining We haven’t had any changes in our house, so I am not sure why he would be stressed. We spend a lot of time with him and we play with him a lot. He only marks when he knows we aren’t looking...
Plz help. I've really been trying to potty train my 6 mth old pup. I take him outside and we're out for a while, we come back in then boom, he pees. Any help?
This is a very common issue that some dog owners go through. You need to keep your puppy under control as much as you can. Keep it in a crate or on leash by you. Try to take your puppy as often as you can to the bathroom area or outside and wait until it does it's business. Once it does, you praise it. If it doesn't, you bring it back home after about 15 minutes, keep it on leash by you or put it back in the crate for another hour. Take the dog out after an hour and try it again and repeat. Don't let it free in the house to go and fin a place to do. This is called potty training which you have to teach it to your dog. For more info watch the following video as well.

Do I need to get a shock collar so I cam get him of the chain or what? Please help
Don't use shock collar. Your dog is stressed and you just have to figure out what is causing it. The following video will help: ua-cam.com/video/VB9PbdBqPsE/v-deo.html
My 12 year old lasa just moved from my ex's house to be with me. Unfortunately, I have to keep her in a bathroom during the day for about 8 hours a day with 1 walk at the 4 hour mark because of work. (I do potty her before work and after) She has never been alone before and will pee in the bathroom and whine. I've tried to put her in a crate and she hates it. She won't engage with a long filled with treats or anything. How can I potty train her when I can't be there to watch her?
Based on your situation, working 8 hours and coming home in 4 hour and your dog being a 12 year old, I think that is the best you can offer and expect. A 12 year old can hold it for 4 hours unless she has medical conditions that she won't be able to hold or needs to be going more often. In that case, I would hire a professional to take care of my dog.
@@SaroDogTraining Thank you so much for your reply. The vet says she has hip dysplasia, partially blind and partially deaf. She I keep trying to train or go for doggy diapers?.. Also She does also whine after a while seeking attention (I think) she is in a whole new situation and she has never had to be alone (human or other dogs) I was to reassure her that she is OK but I also don't want to encourage the whining. I thank you so much for your help. I've been overwhelmed and I just want to do right by her.
I think for her age and condition, she has the right to whine, because she may be in pain or uncomfortable. Try to provide the best situation and condition for her. Small changes in yours and her life can cause stress and anxiety which can cause her to expressing them by whining. All the best and love from me to you and your dog.
My dog is house trained but when he pees he lifts his legs and he pees on himself or if he squats when he pees he pees on his legs how do i stop that plz helppp
Please help! I have a 10 month Siberian husky male. He marks all the time. He went through prison training and pretty well trained but he does mark in house now less then before but when we go places, he walks and pees at the same time without even stopping. How do we stop that? He gets out several times a day for bathroom break and separate walks.
I know the frustration. There are few things that can cause your dog to behave that way. I am going to share a video that I explain it all. Please watch it and let me know if you have nay follow up questions. ua-cam.com/video/yUUjrPdpbEk/v-deo.html
Rita Shiling are you still experiencing this issue?
@@christinecammarata7231 hot a husky...he was fine fr 3 years now i moved n now he peein on stuff
Hi. Same problem here. Did u find a solution?
The bichon males my mom had and has were never able to stop marking. One of them had to wear a diaper full time. Maybe it's an issue this breed has. The one she has now insists on peeing where he sleeps so none of the other dogs (poms) can have beds either. My mom also considers this normal Male behavior though and doesn't do anything. He sleeps on her bed and pees on it and she doesn't seem to notice because she has allergies and is a mouth breather so doesn't notice smells and doesn't believe it or care unless it damages furniture. Some people really don't care if their little "furbaby" p*sses everywhere. Maybe there's some connection with infantilizing dogs, treating them like babies, and then literally having to put then in diapers
I just came across this video and it makes perfect sense. I have two dogs. One is a female about 4 years old, spayed and a little dog who will be two years old in June, not neutered. These two dogs get along very well. That isn't the issue. My female is perfect in the house, no issues with her at all. The little male however pees on everything. He was housebroken as a puppy and even though he does his business outside, he also does his business INSIDE. He has peed on my leather furniture, my wood furniture, my refrigerator, stove, in both bathrooms ironically, and has stained my wood floors so badly I don't think I will ever get the stains out. My little guy Jack cries to go outside and I let him out. I also let both dogs out a few times an hour which is excess. Jack has been checked by the vet for any urinary issues and there aren't any. We discussed having Jack neutered and I know there is no guarantee that he will stop peeing on everything.
Jack absolutely will not go outside when it's raining (my big dog does) and Jack won't go out on the wet grass even after the rain has stopped. I really love both of my dogs and am beside myself about what to do about Jack's bad habit. I never scold Jack for peeing and pooping in the house. Believe it or not, I have never once caught Jack doing his business inside and he's done it many many times.
Jack is very close to me. He likes for me to hold him when I'm on my computer, he likes to be brushed and I brush him a couple of times a week. He sleeps in bed with me and my big dog sleeps on her bed in my room. Sometimes Jack will sleep with the big dog but most of the time he's at the foot of my bed under his blanket.
Jack's peeing and pooping has stressed me out but I try not to show it. I find it, clean it up and move on. The stain and odor removers I have used are useless. Just money down the drain but I continue to use them.
I need help.
There is something in the house that bothers your dog or something has recently happened which has caused him to get stressed in order to behave that way. Do you know any major changes that has happened lately? Is there something in the house that you just changed or replaced? Any little thing can make your dog to get reactive that way which means he is a sensitive dog. For more info watch the following video. ua-cam.com/video/VB9PbdBqPsE/v-deo.html
I want to Thankyou for your advice. I have an adopted male brought into a home with a male and female dog ,
He was full of anxiety and marked in and out of the home whenever I turned my back, I followed your advice by making him feel more secure , by crating him when I would leave him alone , he has transformed in to a calm , confident dog and has not marked in the house once in months!
Glad it worked for you. Thank you for your comment. Let me know if you need any other help or advice.
Saro Dog Training yes I will update in a few months on the progress. Thanks again!
Very interesting perspective and quite possibly just the one I needed to hear. My dog after 8 years is suddenly peeing in the house, on the bed and under the pergola, rather than out in the garden where he’s always done it, and it’s causing all sorts of stress and anxiety.
The dogs shown in the videos are very well behaved! Good job training them!
Thanks. We were just letting them do whatever and go wherever. They did well for the video.
Thank you so much.
My dog has an appointment to be neutered in a month but I’m going to try your method.My son has female dog in upper flat from us & I thought maybe he smells her in heat & is marking but since a puppy he’s been a very nervous dog so maybe anxiety.I’m going to try your method.
so glad I found your channel.
Glad it was helpful! Keep me updated.
I just found this video today, so I don't know if you'll see the comments to respond and possibly help, but, here goes. We recently adopted a male dog (he's about 7 years old). We already have 2 female dogs that are both 3 1/2 years old. All 3 dogs are Chugs and about the same size. The male dog is marking, and we don't know how to make it stop. It's only marking. He's very good about going #2 outside and even his regular peeing. He just insists on marking in the house. It does seem to be around the same areas. He has never peed in our bed or on the furniture (except the kitchen chair once). He has peed on shoes on more than one occasion. Also, although he's very good about going outside in the grass, he also intentionally marks the concrete patio. We don't know much about his history except that he was left at the shelter with 4 other dogs all from the same household, so having multiple dogs in the house isn't the issue, but it could be "new" dogs and "new" owners. We love him and really want to keep him, but we've got to get him to stop marking. HELP!
The cause of the marking is that your new dog is stressed and anxious in the new place. That is because you have given too much freedom and not much structure. To learn what to do watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/lciImRFwQgM/v-deo.htmlsi=wkIPUmMSPxXr97YO
I have 3 two year old dogs a Doberman, pit bull, and pug and a 1 year old German shepherd but my Doberman ever since he was a baby will not stop marking corners and furniture and our other dogs don’t have this problem but my Doberman will wait until our back is turned or until he is left alone to mark something so he definitely knows he’s not supposed too and I’ve tried a lot of different things and he does good for a while but will start marking after a week or 2
I've watched several videos and LOVE your advice best! Makes a lot of sense and makes you feel really good when training! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Hi Saro! I have a senior rescue who was neutered well into adulthood (around estimated age 8-9). He is housetrained and doesn't mark or have accidents inside, HOWEVER he doesn't relieve himself promptly when we go on walks. He ONLY knows how to mark, and not how to have a proper potty break JUST for pee/poo. We live in downtown Toronto, and there are a lot of other dogs in out immediate vicinity, and a lot of pee around us. So we over-marks a LOT. Sometimes up to 30 times in a walk. My trouble is that I have to commit 1-2hrs a day taking him out 3 sometimes 4 times a day and walk around while he marks constantly to empty his bladder. On my bad days, I can feel guilty for resenting all the responsibility because I feel like my whole life revolves around his bladder, but it also seems like its unrealistic of most dog owners to find this kind of time, everyday! I'd love to take him of one or two short walks a day, and more potty breaks. How can I train him to understand what it is to have a potty break where he really releases a lot of volume at once? This would relieve so much of my stress!
I need you to understand few things. Although he seems that he is not empty, the fact is that dogs are never going to be empty. They have a reservoir in their bladder which is designed for marking purposes. So, they never get empty even if you try. So, don't focus on getting him empty because that will never happen. Just let him pee few times and take him home. Don't need to spend hours to get him empty. Don't worry, he won't develop health issues like bladder stones or such as long as he is able to pee every few hours, he should be fine. So, don't stress yourself. Just let him pee few times every time you take him out and feel good that you have done your part. If you do that, in few weeks, he will adjust his urination frequency accordingly.
I have this same issue
My dog has jealousy issues, and is marking indoor and outdoor. How can train good habits? My first thought is to go back to crate training. Take him out 1x every 4 hours. what else might you recommend? The jealousy issues are traits I inherited from his first owner. He was one of many dogs in his previous household and was not the favorite. He's a goldendoodle, only 1 year. People say to get him fixed and it will change however, i'm not so sure it's that easy. Let me know if you have additional training tips thanks
The best advice that I can offer at this situation is to keep your dog under control, on leash or in a crate while you can't supervise it. Start training him to build trust and confidence and after few weeks of that see if he changes his behaviour.
my 4 year old beagle never marks inside our home… but definitely on walks even on leash and after his main pee… he constantly sniffs as all beagles do and you know it’s coming when he finds a spot that’s interesting.. especially a tree, plant mailbox post or fire hydrant
he will also mark inside say a pet store where there are other dogs and at the dog park.. where i’ve seen dogs mark other dogs… it can be a wild place but i always chalked it up to wolf behavior
I have a male Shih Tzu who will be two years old in December. I don't intend neutering him. He's the love of my life. Was potty trained when he was just 3 months old. Never messed in the house. I am living in India. Now relocated to Goa. after my late husband's death. Presently, residing in a gated complex but we do have a few unhealthy looking stray dogs roaming around my villa. Hence I haven't been able to walk my baby.ever since I've been here. Goes to pee and do his job in our garden and back yard. My son has a female dog and a male cat. Both neutered.. My Shih Tzu is constantly after my son's dog licking her. The vet said it's due to her hormonal secretion which excites my dog. The past four months my dog has been marking his territory on my furniture, my son's belongings, his bed and his dog's bed when he runs up to greet him. Got him a belly band but the vet advised against using it. Said it could cause a urinary infection. When Deno my dog marks his territory he looks straight into my eyes when I say Deno is a naughty boy, who did this? Gently growls back and does not allow that spot to be washed. He goes down every couple of hours to pee. The past two weeks, I have done exactly what u have mentioned in your video. Put him on his leash and kept him close to me. I do find an improvement. My son tends to punish him which I totally disagree with. I am gentle but firm. Also, I would like to mention, he's a very affectionate loving dog. Loves to be cuddled and kissed under his neck and belly. Why then does he attack me viciously at times.? While grooming sometimes if I try to turn him gently or by mistake while brushing pull his fur very gently he goes absolutely crazy and attacks me. Has bitten me twice. At times he's as good as an angel. Love's being groomed.. Always by my side except when it's cliose to his.meal time. Waits patiently near the kitchen for the cook to give him his bowl. Sleeps with me at night. A very intelligent and a clever dog. Understands everything when spoken too. I will truly appreciate and be happy to know if u could guide me. Maybe, I am too loving and gentle with him and hence attacking me.. He knows I love him very much. Gets terribly upset when I pretend to cry for being attacked. Licks me on my face and whines loudly saying he's sorry.. Hope to receive a response as and when u have the time.. Have a blessed day. 🙏
Being gentle and firm is good but firm and clear is better. Clarity will bring his stress down and his confidante up. You and Deno may have a great relationship but may need some more improvement. Let's say you have a 90% quality relationship but sometimes the 10% can mess up the rest. Try improving the 10% by following this formula. ua-cam.com/video/UexXJy7PcT8/v-deo.html
I was given a beautiful 4-year-old Pomeranian jack Russel cross last September. I find he is reluctant to do his needs out the back yard he loves going for a walk, but he marks all the time and most times he will have a bowel movement. the problem is he will mark in the corridor in the house I have tried spraying vinegar to stop him but to no avail. I am pleased with his overall behavior, and he is fairly obedient except when he goes out a night, he sees a possum and he will not come in until almost 2am he runs away when I try to catch him. He is such a lovely dog and I have come to love him so much as he sleeps with me and is a very good watch dog. I am 85 so unable to walk him more than once a day. I just wish he would not mark in the house. Can you help me?
So, he has been with you for almost a year. The marking in the corridor is a conversation with you that he wants you to know to help him regarding his mental state. He is leaving messages to you saying that he needs help. He feels insecure and not confidante about his life. You are probleble sharing too much affection and not much guidance and directions. You need to somehow provide him his daily required exercise which is physical stimulation, plus his daily mental stimulation with some one on one play and train, his daily socializations, care and then affection. Do your best based on limitations and abilities to fulfill his needs. Regarding chasing possums, simply take him out (during the day) on a leash or attached to a rope so you can get him back plus it gives him some assurance that he is connected to you.
Great insight to why dogs may keep marking. Thanks for sharing!
I hope you had fun watching the video. Thank you for watching and supporting.
you're welcome!
Thank you Saro....... by the way I really lost count on yr doggy’s cause I was watching mostly you
Go back and watch it again but this time count.
Great video! I feel I controlmy dogs quite a bit, but they continue with this behavior. They don't pee inside, but they mark every 20 steps they take outside. How can I stop them from "competing"? They are both 6yr old mix french poodle males. I've tried treats, exercise, not letting them pee immediately when we go out, but they continue with this.
Training, including to provide their daily five essential needs will help them to gain more confidence and pay more attention to you and your cues rather than getting distracted by what is out there. They are simply to focused on the smells rather than being focused on you.
My 3 year old Yorkie is constantly peeing and marking in my house. He was spade at 18 months. He gets a lot of attention and we go for walks regally. I am desperate. I take him out often and although I work full day he can freely go out side. It is if he only do this when I'm not looking. I have never ever saw a dog wee this much, not even big dogs. He sleeps with me and never pee in my room. He is a very happy dog.
I understand your frustration with your Yorkie's marking behavior. It sounds like you're providing him with attention, walks, and outdoor access, which is great. Marking behavior can sometimes be related to territorial instincts or even medical issues.
Since you've mentioned that he mostly does this when you're not looking, it could be beneficial to supervise him more closely and consider crate training or confining him to a small area when you're unable to watch him. This might help in preventing the marking indoors.
Additionally, consulting your vet is a good idea to rule out any underlying medical conditions that could be contributing to the excessive peeing.
Thank you for your suggestions for stopping a dog from marking in the house. My 10 year old house broken Chihuahua started marking a couple of years ago, and with your help I think I now understand why and what to do. It makes perfect dense now that you have said it. I liked your video and will watch more of them. My dogs are pretty well-behaved, but there’s always room for improvement. Question: What do you suggest for a hyper dog? I have an 20 month old miniature golden doodle who at times is wild and is very difficult to calm down. Beside more exercise, is there anything else I can do?
Thank you for your comments and for being part of the community. I am in the process of making a video about hyper dogs. It will be posted on Saturday, Oct. 28. For now, you can watch a video that I have made some time age. ua-cam.com/video/H9Ob39L0Nxs/v-deo.html
Don’t know if u r still responding, but I just got a new dog to pair with the other dog I already have at home. They met away from the house and were great together. When I brought them home tho, my original dog started marking around the house and seems to be dominating the dog that I just adopted that is nervous and submissive right now. How do I go about this situation so they can both live together as equals? Thanks!
Your dog is for sure not happy with the new edition and that is why it is marking around to let you know how it feels. I explain how to deal with a situation like this in this video: ua-cam.com/video/yatyjFbHEW4/v-deo.html
My friends planned stud is doing this inside the home is it possible to stop
Yes, it is. There are some tips in the video.
I never had problems with my dog peeing in the house until we started taking him to a trainer for ecoller training . He hates the car and that was were the peeing on things started in the car now my apartment. Should I stop with the training or reduce? That seems to be his anxiety
One of the main reasons I don't suggest e-collar training is because the after effects of it. It causes pain and leaves trauma that will lead to development of other issues. Defiantly, stop the training with that trainer. For now, your goal should be to help your dog with trauma. Are you able to hire a force-free or positive dog trainer? If not, let me know to see if we can work together.
Hello um I got a english bulldog and he's a show dog I train him to show but I can't get him to stop marking his territory
The hormones' and few other things can cause stress in your dog. ( I am guessing it is not neutered because of show dog). Find out what they are and start reducing them.
My Chihuahua is exactly that way. He pee so damn much, its driving me crazy.
A few days ago he peeid on me, while trying to put on his harness.
He peeid each time he get super excited.
That is just sign of few things. One could be that he is drinking too much water due to eating dry food. When eating dry food they tend to drink a lot of water. By changing the diet you will see your Chihuahua will drink less and pee less. The other thing could be that he is not fully potty trained. You may want to work on that. Also, when a dog pees on it's owner, it might be that your dog is claiming you. If your dog is peeing out of excitement, it could be that he can't control his bladder.
Hey! I got a two year old husky about two months ago. From what his previous owners told me, he’s very dominant and dog aggressive towards not only other big dogs, but puppies as well. He came from a breeder who had two other adult huskys who hated him & bit him constantly. We believe that was the root of his problem. We took him in with the plan to try to “retrain” him. At first, I assumed his marking was normal because of the new environment, but it’s become an excessive thing just like the dog in this video. I just need help trying to find out why he’s doing it so much. Everytime we take him to the park, it seems like he’s more concerned about marking every tree or stump. Also, we do have two German Shepherd Puppies that we also introduced to him in hopes that it will help his aggression. From what i’ve noticed, he’s uncomfortable with them wanting to play and it makes him angry & want to lash out. We’ve been giving him a tiny bit more
attention than the pups recently to see if that’ll help with anything.
Focus on providing your dog's daily needs. I'd like you to watch the following video to learn what to and how to do things. ua-cam.com/video/lciImRFwQgM/v-deo.html
Hello. My husband and I have a two male dogs that had started marking. It began when my husband started letting them on the couch with him. One is a Chocolate Lab, the other GSD. Both had been completely potty trained, and both are well over 3 years old. I suspect, competition. I had asked husband to stop letting them on the couch. He is not consistent with either dog. From your video, I gathered that like horses, go back to the beginning? Reduce the area they have , put them in kennels again, as if puppies all over again?
I would think, it is more than just being allowed on the couch. There must be something other tan that. But I may be wrong. What kind of dogs are they? The breeds? Dig deep and think if there has been any other changes that have happened in the family dynamics...maybe the following video will give you some ideas: ua-cam.com/video/VB9PbdBqPsE/v-deo.html
@@SaroDogTraining One is a Lab, the other German Shepard. Only one can lay next to him at a time on the couch. So the other has to lay on the floor or another end of the couch. Jealousy? Both are fixed. So are our female dogs. We don't have any trouble with the girls. I am pretty sure they are trying to dominate the other. The cuddling on the couch is the change we've had. How to go about show them , they need not be jealous?. They mind for everything else. Come, sit, stay, they don't go near food unless told ok, don't rush in or out ( l do have to remind them so.etomes, l say "easy") they tells us if they "need" out. I am just not sure what to do.
He sleeps under carpet next to the front door. O.k. up at 5 in the morning, I walk him go to work come home sit outside with him,walk him, get up in the morning have coffee with him and go back to work again. I spend just about all the time I can with him everyday and pretty much neglect my family cause he wants me outside all the time
Where can I see the video on how to break the male dog marking in 24 hours? Thanks
Here it is. Let me know if yu have nay questions. ua-cam.com/video/4RqXO17EY-U/v-deo.html
My beagle is potty trained but he still marks specific places in the house, I almost feel as if he’s trying to tell me something. We have daily walks early in the evening, hot weather where I live and any other hour would be awful for him.
Sometimes I’m a bit late because I work from home, when this happens he immediately pees on the fridge. Then next day he pees the stove, only when this happens. Keeps doing it for a few days when he sees me too angry or if I give him an extra walk.
The only other marking I can’t explain is that he loves peeing one specific curtain in the living room.
I spayed him today so I hope he becomes less inclined to do this but I feel the kitchen markings are revenge because otherwise he’d be house broken.
This kind of peeing is usually because something is stressing or annoying your dog. Some changes have happened that it is not important to you but it is effecting your dog. Your dog is a sensetive one so find out what it is.
What you said makes a lot of sense about our Shichon. He has some anxiety and is older and just started marking in the house a few months ago. I know it is a competitive thing because there was a neighbor with a big dog that scared him one day and for years since he only wants to poop and pee as close to their yard as possible and always looks over at their house to see if they are watching. We will try the less freedom and additional training. Thanks!
Hi i got 11 month shih tzu he’s been potty train but just recently he’s been marking inside and outside excessively.. please help me what to do. Thanks!
I explained why in the video but here is another video explaining the cause and the solutions. ua-cam.com/video/yUUjrPdpbEk/v-deo.html
A friend of mine has a one year old puppy, female, and sge pees in the house whenever she gets excited, for example when visitors come over, or when they visit someone else. So its more enthusiastic peeing. Any tips would be very much appreciated! He already walks her before visits, but she still pees when enthusiastic.
Teach and practice sit and stary with friends and family members so the dog gets familiar with the guests coming procedure. Feed fresh food instead of dry food to reduce the water intake therefore less stress on bladder and less accidents. Also, make sure there are no bladder infections or issues.
Same with my doggy😟
Thank you for this video! My dog got neutered 2 months ago he’s 8 months old bichon frise. He keeps marking outside when i take him out. How exactly do I control him and train him to just pee one time?
Neutering won't help in this case. The marking is a normal dog behaviour but over-peeing is a sign of a stressed dog. Watch the video once again as I explain how to reduce the stress and control the peeing.
I have a Yorkie. He had accidents in the house and tired to hide them. He has had multiple owners and I assume that he was abused before. I think he is on the older side but he was pretty well trained. Than it’s like now he does it on purpose. He pees everywhere but tries to get as close to me as possible. And it’s been getting worse and worse at first he used to pee and hide and now he’s doing it and looking at my husband or trying to pee on me. Today he peed on my foot. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to give him away but my husband is completely fed up.
He pees everywhere as soon as we put him down and stop giving him attention. He even pees in his crate and lays in it. His crate doesn’t have a bed or anything so he is laying in his own pee. He pees inside and outside multiple times. The more strict we get the worse he seems to get
I am so sorry that you are going through this. I remember years ago, while I was training some students at a park, I saw a dog lifting its leg and peeing on its owner. It was shocking and surprising for me to see that. It was very embarrassing for the dog owner as everyone saw it. When a dog does such a thing, it is a clear signal to me but not to the owners that the dog is very stressed and confused and it is expressing its feelings to the owner by visually communicating it. But the dog owners see it as a dog that is misbehaving but it is not. Due to your dog's past and current experiences, it is clear that your dog is in need of help from you. I bet you share a lot of affection with him and maybe correct him here and there but not much of structural guidance and clear communication. In order to help your dog, you need to provide your dog's daily five essential needs and to learn what they are please watch the following video: ua-cam.com/video/2bVyNOnaCJ0/v-deo.htmlsi=b8PVqaOZZ_EFiids
@@SaroDogTraining Thankyou so much! It sounds crazy but I already see a change. God bless you! You are amazing! Have the most beautiful week🥹🫶🏻
Thank's so much!
Help! I have a 2 year old westie and since I got him on every walk or place we go he would keep on peeing I am now trying to train him to do agility and it’s quite difficult when he stops in the middle of a course to pee!!!
Focus on two things. Basic obedience and off leash training before you start or continue with the agility. The basics will help your dog to to gain confidence. That is the reason why he needs to mark here and there. Focus on getting the basic obedience to 100% rather that 99%, first. Also improve the off-leash control so your dog won't be focused on other things and be focused on you when off-leash.
Amazing video! Two thumbs up!
Thank you so much.
So is it OK for them to mark outside? Or should we not allow them to mark outside either?
Great question. It's not if it's OK or not. It is a sign that your dog is stressed and needs help. When a dog is marking too much, it means that they are overwhelmed and they need help to calm down Just make sure to get your dog's attention to you to help it calm down and you will see, it won't mark as much. You can use the following video to get some ideas about how to help the dog to pay attention to you. ua-cam.com/video/KYYeyJibXH4/v-deo.html
Too funny... our older puppy ONLY marks the fridge! And you even brought up the new fridge or counters can be seen as competition?! Wow who would have thought! Insightful vid -I will try your ideas, thanks!

Absolutely correct
Great. Thank you for watching.
Hello I thank you for your wonderful information..I have owned many rotties. I have a three-year-old rottweiler who has been housebroken but still will mark when he knows we are not in eyesight, Especially on the couch or particularly in my bedroom.. He knows better than to do it when we are in the Room and he waits untill we leave.. How do I combat this ??? Please and thank u
Wonderful! There is something that is bothering your rottie in that particular room, has meaning or something happened in the past. Something may be stressing your dog from the past or recently. Think deeper to find out what changed? More info here: ua-cam.com/video/yUUjrPdpbEk/v-deo.html
Thank you, I will try this!
Great. Please let me know if you have any other questions or issues.
I don’t have an issue with my dogs marking inside, but outside. I have 3 1 and a half year old pit mixes. Two are neutered and one is intact. The one who’s intact marks outside in the backyard over the others and I now notice the others started to mark in the backyard as well. I’ve been correcting it. Is that what I should do? I notice it frustrates the intact dog. Can issue occur if I leave it alone? Should I?
Depends on the dogs. If it is frustrating for any of them, then you need to come up with a plan to make it less.If a dogs is so focused on that part of life, I think it is a sign that there is a lack of leadership and a dog's needs are not met. Let me know if you have nay follow up questions.
@@SaroDogTraining thanks for your reply. Can you explain more? Asking because all the dogs are very submissive to me and my husband. Take commands well, walk well, are on routines. Don’t have complete access to all parts of the home, etc. in my opinion, the intact male is not a true part of the dog pack. He wants to be alpha but isn’t and doesn’t want to be #3. Also, what frustrates the intact dog is when I stop the marking. Otherwise he’s a happy dog.
If the marking is so important to him, it seems to me that he needs a bit more leadership as he is not neutered and the hormones are taking over. You can either be more on top of him and reinforce to be not so focused on the other dogs or you can just let him be as this could be a good stimulation for him as long as it is not frustrating him. You'd be the judge.
@@SaroDogTraining I get it! This is amazing advice and I appreciate it. New subbie
Great. Welcome to the community of educated dog lovers.
Helllllpppp😫 I have a 5yr old neutered Yorkie and and 18m old spayed Yorkie. Since getting my girl my boy has been marking all over! We’ve tried so many things. Our girl is still working on pt’ing. We use a dog door and she’ll whine to us and walk to the door but won’t go out until we walk over and tell her to go. Sometimes she won’t and she’ll go inside. I know he’s marking due to the change, I’m just at a loss how to make it stop. Unfortunately he’s not kennel trained, she is. He has awful separation anxiety and when trying crates he poops and pees and moves the crate several feet. I don’t think that’s healthy. When we hate him he knocks it down and still marks all over. You say to keep him close on a leash. Will this be a forever thing? I guess that’s my concern. How do they just “learn” to not do it and we can let him off leash eventually? And for when gone what do you suggest? He marks every where no matter the room we confine him in as well. Walls, baseboards everything😞 Any suggestions are appreciated. I’ve been through several videos, you’re a great trainer🙏🏻 Thank you.
Keep it on leash until it is less stressed, it feels confidant, secure and it has been trained. Provide their daily five essential needs. sarodogtraining.com/shop/a-dogs-five-essential-needs-digital-book/
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
My neighbours dog is always jumping their gate and he comes to pee on all my things that sit under my open carport. We share a driveway and the dog thinks that my property is aprt of his territory. The owner is antisocial so going to her is not an option. Is there anything that I can spray around my property to deter the dog from coming around my property.
Thank you
This is something that you need to deal with using your own human social skills.
I believe that "competition" is the reason one of my dogs "marks" any toys that are left on the floor by any of the other dogs or anything that just happens to be put temporarily on the floor . I have 5 Papillons and one Sheltie. It is rare that I catch the one who is the "marker" ... all the dogs are house/potty trained. The culpret is very attached to me and is certainly not lacking in attention. Do you have any more suggestions, other than a revision in potty training or more training, such as advanced obedience or tricks? He is 4 years of age. I forgot to add that one of the young Papillions has the habit of peeing on his food bowl when he finishes his dinner ... a different reason for "marking" but nevertheless just as stressful for me. HELP!!
I have a feeling that there are too many dogs and that causes tension and stress in dogs if they are not following human cues. This happens in dog daycare or boarding places. What I mean by that is that, all the dogs need to be distressed by being trained so their confidant level can get up. I suggest working on each of them a bit everyday for about a month, teaching them to get cues from you and follow your cues, especially the ones that you know are the culprits. At the moment, they are doing things on their own and they think that the human is not in charge so they need to be in charge. I will suggest you to watch the following video and try to practice this with each one of them individually for about a month and see if you get enough results. ua-cam.com/video/lRiNRP8FZfY/v-deo.html P.S. The one who pees in his food bowl, is really confused and stressed. Work on him a bit more. Please let me know if you have any follow up questions.
When you say limit their freedom do you suggest tethering them to me as I do housework or chill on the couch? How long should this last? While I'm cooking I tie my beagle to a dining room chair so that he doesn't come into the kitchen he can easily see me and I communicate with him throughout cooking the meal and often reward good behavior such as sitting and waiting patiently but it often takes him over 30min to settle down jumping up and down on the chair and constantly whining to get untied...
Yes, you can tether your dog to you, to an object, in the crate... so they can b supervised. You do that until your dog learns that needs to stay calm in that spot. This could last five minutes or five months. You repeat this until your dog learns what you expect. Try to focus on physical and mental stimulation before asking your dog to stay calm. For more info watch the following video: ua-cam.com/video/7PLTj5zNSVw/v-deo.html
I am dog sitting 4 dogs 2 belong to one person the other 2 someone else's..all 4 are older
None have any training ..2 pits 2 dautsuns
They are familiar with each other and the house I am watching ..the 2
Pits are going through. Separation issues...I was hoping to get some needed trading while the people are gone.can older dogs be trained?.I want to take them out. I need for the one male pit not to pre on everything..furniture ..actually everything..
So, you are dealing with 2 issues. Separation anxiety and excessive peeing. The excessive peeing is due to being stressed and the stress is due to being away from the parents. If you want to train them to tolerate it, you can't train them. The owners need to do it. Your job should be keeping them mentally and physically stimulated so they won't focus on the separation.
I have shit zu - Maltese mix that’s a bit over a year old. Every-time I take him on walks he’ll pee on every tree he comes across and when I take him indoors he will always pee at foots of the bed or along the corners of the wall, even on the garbage bin. Any advice?
Please re-watch the video once again because I explained it all in the video of why that happens and how to solve it.
I adopted a 5 year old male poodle mix un-neutered. I did get him neutered but he marks EVERYWHERE!!! Inside and outside. I have two other dogs, one male and one female, no problems with them. I have stopped letting them all in the house, I do still let them in my bedroom with wood floor and a door to the backyard which is always open for them to come in and out. I keep an eye on him and correct him when caught in the act. I’m going crazy with all of the marking!! I don’t want to tie him up as I work long hours. I believe he’s just marking saying this is his territory and not for other reasons. I don’t know what else to do. I’ve always been able to train my dogs but always got them when puppies. This is my 1st time adopting and having the worst luck with him. I’ve had him about a year and a half now!
Your new dog is just feeling "non confident". That's because he is new in your house, new environment and new lifestyle. Especially that there are other dogs he feels less confident. It's not that he is marking his territory. He is marking to say that he is a tough guy but I bet he is not a tough guy at all, right? He is a softy, sweet boy. So, what you need to do is few things to bring his confidence up. One of them is to start a training session at home to go over the basics. I will link the videos that you could watch at home and start the training. There is another video that I want you to watch which I explain what mistakes that you are making. Plus a video series that I talk about adoptions do's and don't. So you have few videos that you need to watch. For training watch these: ua-cam.com/video/2CvtFcNJTuM/v-deo.html For not making common mistakes watch this: ua-cam.com/video/99vu4ueEaVE/v-deo.html For adoption do's and don't's watch these: ua-cam.com/video/ZNsicP7SGz4/v-deo.html

Buy pee bands so you can relax
@Patricia Douglas, That is a band aid solution which may help the dog owner temporarily but it won't help the dog to get over the anxiety. I always suggest doing the harder work to get a longer lasting, better results for both the dog owner and the dog.
I believe our dogs are doing this because I've started working and they do it because they are mad that im not there as much and when I am im not spending as much attention as I usually do with them. Is this a possibility b reason why they are doing it excessively now. My oldest is 8 years old youngest is 6
My dogs doesn't mark on walk but marks on my motorcycle outside fridge bbq it's becoming really frustrating his 2yr old staghound

Will neutering my 2 year old dog help with his marking behavior? I also have another dog in the home with him.
Not really. Marking is a behavioural matter which mainly signs of a stressed dog. Your other dog may be stressing this dog. It could be either competition or too much affection shared.

PLEASE HELP, I have a Great Pyrenees that will be 1 year old in 3 days, he is house broken and trained very well. He is my service dog. But last week while in a store he marked, now I am afraid to take him into stores and I really need him to go with me. He has never done it before and he has never done it in the house either. What do I do?
I am guessing something new has happened in yours or his life and is getting stressed. This is a sign that you might need to restart the training to distress him. Please contact a service dog (or your current trainer) trainer to get started on some training or even going back to basics. Re=training will help. Has anything new happened?

I have a 4 y/o Rottweiler . He had an underground fence system . He has full run of the yard , trees , but constantly pees on the garage door . I bring him there , tell him no , and lock him in his dog run for the rest of the day . He knows he's doing wrong because when I go outside by the door , he doesn't follow me and walks away .
Any help would be greatly appreciated .
Thank you
Can you guess why he will be so sensitive about the garage door? Is there anything in there that he is sensitive about? Something is stressing him out. Block him from getting to the garage door and see if he marks somewhere else.
@@SaroDogTraining he can get in the garage through a doggy door (he pees on the overhead car doors ) . He knows he's doing wrong by his demeanor , he'll even go to his dog run by himself to get locked up . I can't figure it out ?
I appreciated you getting back to me though .
I am having marking problems with my unclipped male. He is older and stuck in his ways. Please help!
Try keeping him on a leash indoors and outdoors, attached to you or in confined areas. start a training session (basic obedience training) every day or every other day for the next month. You will see the results.
Thanks. Should you let your dog mark a lot when they are at the park? Mine loves to explore and pee on every tree and branch.
Allowing a dog to mark at the park is as if you are leaving comments of social media. You want to use your social media at a fair rate. Not too much, as an obsession and not too little that you are not visible. I would let the dog mark but if I see it becomes an obsession to the point that your dog marks on every tree than it is just too much.
@@SaroDogTraining Thanks. That makes sense. I appreciate it.

There is something in the house that bothers your dog or something has recently happened which has caused him to get stressed in order to behave that way. Do you know any major changes that has happened lately? Is there something in the house that you just changed or replaced? Any little thing can make your dog to get reactive that way which means he is a sensitive dog. Do you spoil him?

Spaying is not the main reason for marking. The main reason is stress and anxiety. Something is stressing your dog. Find out what that is and address it. The marking will stop if the cause of the stress has been addressed.

I accidentally left the door cracked at night and he got out and went around the whole house and peed on EVERYTHING and Ik he was scared or nervous from him keeping his head down and crouch walking but it really frustrating me that he did that I also noticed when he’s excited to see me he’ll stand against the fence and just start peeing right into the air and most of the time on my leg so is there anyway to help with this?
Your dog is not house trained. Being in the house makes it to get stressed. ua-cam.com/video/4RqXO17EY-U/v-deo.html
When visiting our friends she pees in their house. We go for play dates at friend’s house, but we are no longer welcome, because she marks their home. She does not mark in my house. I when I keep her on the leash she doesn’t pee. Help
Does your friend have a dog too? She gets stressed and anxious when visiting your friend's house. Exercise her physically and mentally before you go there to drain out the energy and have her be calmer and more connected to you rather than the environment.
We are going to visit my dog friends to have a play date, because the weather is too hot or raining
I have a almost 9 year old rottweiler. He was neutered at around 2 years old, after he had already started "hiking the leg" to pee. He's a great dog, well trained, listens to "come", "sit", "stay", etc... but he marks. It's almost like he can't help it. We had to start keeping him in the garage during the day bc he can't be trusted inside. Now when I come home, he will have peed somewhere in the garage, almost everyday. I look at it, then look at him, and he puts his head down bc he knows that it's bad. It sucks bc I have to keep him right where I am, all the time. Even when I'm home, I can't let him go walk around the house unsupervised bc he might mark something. It's not as likely if we are there, but there's no telling. He'll do a quick "drive by" if he thinks we can't see him.
He doesn't do the "mark a little bit everywhere" type. He'll mark 1 time, MAYBE twice during the whole work day. I don't think it's a confidence thing. It's almost like he is just triggered to do it. He knows it's bad, as soon as I see it he lowers his head and gets his "sad" face on, but he does it almost everyday.
We're at a point now where he's basically on a leash, in the same room with me when I'm home, leash wrapped around the bedpost at night so he can't roam the house and mark, then in the garage while we're not home. It sucks that we can't just let him walk around the house, or that i have to be holding on to a leash all the time, getting it caught on things, having my arm pulled while I'm trying to do other things, etc. I don't know what to do, or if it's too late since he'll be 9 in February. I've definitely decided that I'm only having female dogs from here on out.
This is a sign that he is stressed or anxious or even concern about something in his life or your life. He is communicating to you and is trying to tell you something. If you feel that he is well trained and is not the confidence thing, then look deep into your relationship and you life with your dog. You say that you don't trust him. That is a problem. If you can't trust him, I think, he can't trust you either. Maybe that will give you a clue. Work on building trust and find out what is it that bothers him? Maybe being left home alone (in the garage) is causing him be anxious!
Saro Dog Training yea, I only mean don't trust him as far as marking, just to clarify. I trust him as far as being loving and nice to people. Rolling around on the floor w my son, etc.
We've had periods where he was ok, though would still mark sometimes. It's off and on I suppose. Hes been in the garage during the day for the past several months. Before that he could be out but we'd put a "doggy diaper"belly band type thing before that and let him stay in the house. Sometimes it's be clean, sometimes he peed in it, but then he started getting it off enough to pee on things. That's when we resorted to the garage routine.
I could crate him. That might be better than the garage as far as him possibly being stressed in the garage. He was crated for the first few years of his life but hasn't been in one for years now.
My relationship with him outside of the being in the garage part is fine other than the contentions over marking. Hes in the room with me while I play piano, or work on the computer. He sleeps on my side of the bed every night and I constantly show him affection and praise him for good things. Maybe bringing the crate back and getting him some more exercise will improve things.
Thank you for the response!
I think the crate would be a good idea. Dogs are happier when having a smaller space for sure rather than the entire garage. Have a happy holiday season.
I got a rescue pup about a little less then a year ago. He learned to be potty trained within the first week of me having him. He never sprayed/marked ever until recently. We have a 10 year old chihuahua that was with us before we got my rescue pup. The chihuahua sprayed and we have him in a diaper but my rescue dog is really big so we can’t put him in a diaper. If he doesn’t stop soon we will have to get rid of him. I don’t want my best friend to leave

Hi sir so I have a mini pin female and a shihtzu Male, my Male dog doesn't mark often but my mini pin wants to mark constantly she even pulls the leash to do it. She wont go bathroom just marking . She waits to go poo inside on a peed pad how can I get her to go outside. I am redirecting when she is marking. I've also stood with her in the grass for 30 minutes what seemed like an eternity and she wont go. Any suggestions????
These are really good questions. One thing is for sure form what you describe is that your min pin, is stressed for some reason. For instance, If she is pulling you to go somewhere to pee, that means the walk is stressing her. You need to work on improving the walk which will need some time to do that. You can watch the following videos to learn how to improve the walks. ua-cam.com/video/WrrRkIWdOIw/v-deo.html Now, to stop the pooping inside the house, I have few videos that you can watch and learn how to solve that problem.

The reason your dog does that because is telling you to provide other forms of stimulation. Focus on providing healthier and beneficial mental and physical activities for your dog. Your dog needs you to provide its daily five essential needs.

Please help me! I have two King Charles Spaniel cavaliers, one female (6) and one male (4), they are brother and sister. My Brother recently moved in after have been with my dad for a while. My male dog began to mark everywhere inside the house, in my brother's room, and in the kitchen and even after a walk. My mom is really tired of it because it ruined the floors in a house we have rent. I really need your help. It's just something he has been doing, I know when my female dog has her period that he is going to do it but it's too much now. please, how can we stop him?
It's communicating to you that it is stressed because someone has moved in and needs you to help him. I get this question too often so I made a video about where I answer your question. Please watch it and implement it at least for a week and let me know the results. ua-cam.com/video/yUUjrPdpbEk/v-deo.html
I have three chinese crested. All neutered boys. Four yrs old. They all mark in the house and have to wear pee bands.
I have tried restricting their movements but they aren’t stupid, they don’t mark when I can see them. But as soon as I give them freedom again they will mark. They get lots of outdoor time and do not mark on their walks.
How can I stop a behaviour that is only done when I am out of view?
The reason they do that is because they live under the same roof and are getting competitive among each other. That's because they don't see you as the person in charge even though, they don't do it in front of you. If you were, they wouldn't do it all. So, you want to focus on each individual for the next few weeks and work with each one of them for 15 minutes a day, training them. So, each one gets a 15 minute session with you every day or every other day for few weeks. You will work on the basics which I am going to share the videos that I want you to watch and practice with them. This will help them to relax, gain confidence and put you in a better position from their point of view. Let me know the results in few weeks and ask any questions that you may have. Watch the following videos, take notes and practice with them. ua-cam.com/video/2CvtFcNJTuM/v-deo.html

Hi! pls help my dog Gero is a very dominant male. he is up for mondioring training. every time we go inside the ring of field he keeps on marking.. how do i stop it?
That's a fantastic question. It is not that Gero is dominant. He is actually lacking confidence and the reason he is marking because he is not confidence. A confident dog does not need to mark everywhere. A confident dog will pee once because he or she does not need to prove that it is tough. A dog who is lacking confidence needs to mark to prove to him/her self that is tough dog. So, the way you address this behaviour is by working on the training the basics on Gero more to bring his confidence level up. I have a feeling that you and Gero are not ready for the ring yet. You need to work on the basics more before letting him off - off - leash in the ring. How long have you been training him for? How old is Gero?
he is 4yrs old now we started at 6months old
I would then suggest to work on the leash for about 3 months rather then off leashing. There might be other reasons that have caused Gero to behave that way. It's not only in the ring but overall in his life. Maybe this video will shed some light. ua-cam.com/video/VB9PbdBqPsE/v-deo.html
What does it mean, I tooked my dog pit of his cage, and he laid on his back... he wanted a belly rub.
So as soon as I started giving him a belly rib, he literally started peeing.
What should I do?
And what does that mean?
Oh I had some guests over too.
You just need to take him out right away to let him pee first and then continue doing everything else. It just means that his bladder is full and need to pee right away. You need to take out your puppy every 2 to 3 hours until he is potty trained. If you nee more info about potty training, you can watch the following video. ua-cam.com/video/4RqXO17EY-U/v-deo.html

Saro, i thougt dogs who Mark a lot outside smell other dogs or making their mark!! Ive had 2 dogs an one know that marks alot.
@@lindadenny6024 Yes. That comes to reason number 3 which is competition. They are competing with other dogs. It is still stressful for them but it all depends on how competitive they are.
He actually Loves other dogs! A lil 6lb fawn chihuahua!! Actually he loves Everyone. Is it maybe cause i give other neighbor dogs treats?
@@lindadenny6024 Even though, he loves other dogs and everyone, in dog world they still compete. It is natural. It is OK for him to mark but if it becomes too much and too often, then you know that it is a sign that your dog is stressed and you need to help.
Yes, he seems stressed. He was left outside for HOURS with his last owner, i mean like 12-15 hrs alone in a huge back yard!! Ive had him for 8 weeks now, training him, he is appx 15 months. I walk him 2 to 3x a day.
My 3 year old rescue male westie started excessive marking indoors and out. He is crated at night, and won't do it in the house in front of us (but I could literally turn my back for 1 minute & he will have). He has always been a bit nervous - we believe he was ill treated before we got him, but he's been with us for over 2 years now and this only started in the last 6 months. I'm so exasperated and just don't know what to do. 😢 Please help. (and yes, he's neutered).
It is stress related and I explain more in the following video: ua-cam.com/video/VB9PbdBqPsE/v-deo.html
Please answer, I have a 5 yr old shih tzu who has no problems but a 1.5 year old chihuahua who has always peed in the house but will also go with my other dog outside and pee with him as well, but as soon as I leave he pees in the house. He's never alone for more than an hour I don't understand why he doesn't get it when all of my other dogs have been house trained just fine
The reason he does that is to give you a message that he doesn't like something. In this case, I believe is being left home alone. That comes from a lack of confidence and not knowing what to do in this case. I highly suggest teaching him the wait command. By doing this you are helping him to gain confidence using training and also you are teaching and communicating to him what you need him to do when you leave the house and he will know what to do when he is alone. To help you, even more, I have 2 videos that I'd like you to watch and start learning and implementing them with him. ua-cam.com/video/VB9PbdBqPsE/v-deo.html And also this: ua-cam.com/video/WHptv68h6kE/v-deo.html

Hello! I have a 6 year old male gentle/sweet Bullmastiff. He pees on the living room couch and on a curtain from time to time sneakily. I can never catch him doing it, he does it very quickly and waits until no one is in sight. It's always the same spots and he knows that he has done something wrong because he avoids that area completely afterwards and goes outside to the garden away from us.
This video will explain why he does that and what you need to do: ua-cam.com/video/VB9PbdBqPsE/v-deo.html
@@SaroDogTraining Thank you! I watched the video. It was very helpful.
I wanted to add that he use to pee when he would get scared as a puppy but then after that was potty trained. He started peeing inside the house later as he got older when my nephew was born. He initially was peeing on his toys but has stopped doing that. Now my nephew is 3. On and off he continued to pee on the same couch and curtain. He stopped and started again a couple of weeks ago.
There were 2 recent changes. One was me, I spent a 1 1/2 in Europe and recently came back. He's very close to me and sleeps outside my door. I also play with him more than my parents so he definitely gets way more attention the last 2 months. Can he pee from getting too much attention?
The other change is medication. His vet put him on Thyroxine supplements a couple of weeks ago because he had low levels of Thyroxine.
Are chihuahuas more susceptible to peeing and spraying more. They are high anxiety dogs.
I have noticed that I have only one male unuetered chihuahua and 5 female chihuahuas one is not spayed. They just had 1 puppy. She is very strong stubborn, all of the dogs are very protective of her. I want to socialize her and train her properly. Any advice, I think that the female presence of the older dogs intimidate him causing him stress and confidence issues. Please help me. Is there such a thing as Alpha female dogs. He is constantly fighting for the Alpha role with the older spayed female Gigi, she has a very dominant personality and acts like an Alpha male. She pees on top of all of the other dogs urine. She has never acted like this before. But I also see that she is very stressed out. I 'm thinking about crating all of them. So they know that they have their own space.
It is not due to being alpha but die to the stress that is surrounding the pack f the dogs. I will have a great podcast coming up soon which it will explain more about the characteristics of your dogs which will make more sense. You can listen to it here: sarodogtraining.com/podcast/
I need help. I have 2 male chihuahua/min pins that are 4 years old and I have their mother. They are not neutered. Mother has been spade. The boys will not stop marking in the house (corner of couches, furniture) and of course everything outside. Is it too late to have them neutered? and will it even help? The boys are fighting over their mother and they fight over me too. I have started putting them in their kennels when they fight. They have to sleep in their kennels at night. What can I do besides give one away?
I doubt that neutering them will change the dynamics between them. You don't have to neuter them now if there is no series reason for it. You can watch the following video for more details. ua-cam.com/video/d6QP7XlejbA/v-deo.html Regarding the reasons they mark everywhere, I feel that it may have nothing to do with mom being around. Something else is causing them to get stressed and they are telling you or giving you the message that they are stressed. I would suggest to look beyond the dogs and look into your life and see if there is something else that has changed and is t may be causing them to behave that way. For more details watch the following video as well: ua-cam.com/video/VB9PbdBqPsE/v-deo.html
I adopted a dog a month and a half ago and he was going potty outside every time. Lately he has been peeing in the house while we sleep. At the beginning he was sleeping in my room, but all of a sudden he wanted to sleep in the living room on his bed, which I let him do, while leaving the door to my room open in case he wants to come in. I take him out late before bed, and he used to wait till morning, but he’s been having accidents for the past week overnight. What can I do? He’s two years old.
Did you change the diet? Try just letting him sleep in your room. Don't give too much freedom. They get overwhelmed with too much space.
Saro Dog Training the thing is that I bring him to my room and close the door, and stands by the door barking and crying till I open it. He’s very stubborn so he’ll be there a very long time doing that. And no, his diet is the same.
Maybe it is time for you two to get up and go for a nice early morning walk. Dogs bring out the best of us and help us live a better and healthier life. Try going for a walk for few days when he gets up for about 20 minute to half hour and see if he relaxes after that.
I just came across your video today while doing a general search to help with this problem. I just found out that I am unfortunately severely allergic to dogs and we have 2 in our house. We have had these dogs since they were 8 weeks old and they are now 11 and 9. Our male dog (9 years) has started marking since we have to contain them to only the uncarpeted areas of our home in order to keep them with my allergies. He specifically marks in 3 places every night. We can never catch him in the act because he is doing it while we sleep. I desperately want to keep both my babies, but we are at our wits end cleaning up every single morning. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you.
You can't have a cake and eat it too. Change your diet so your body can fight the allergy issue that you have. Stop eating carbs and sugar and processed food and sacrifice for not only your own health but for your dogs sake. That way, you won't be reactive to them and they don't have to be locked up in a certain part of the house. Dogs want to be with you and separating them from you stresses them so they pee to let you know how they feel.
@@SaroDogTraining Thank you for your response. Just to assure you, I am drastically changing my diet, but also the dogs are not separated from us except at night. They are in the living, dining, kitchen and utilities areas in the house. They aren't coming into the bedrooms with carpet but are still very much part of the family.
Good to know. You are the right path. The marking is due to stress that is causing it to express itself. Find out what is the cause of stress.
Thank you so much for this video! We have a dog who always goes to the bathroom outside and is trained on doing this, however today when we took her to a friend's house, she peed inside the house. We are going to practice taking our dog out more frequently when visiting others so that she has more opportunities to pee outside, and we had her spend an hour outside today just relaxing to get her calmed down in case it was from being overstimulated. Do you have advice for how to best potty train dogs when they are in places *other* than your home, such as inside someone else's house or in a public building?
If a dog is fully house trained, it won't feel to do it's business indoors in general. If a dog chooses to do it indoors, it's a sign that one, it's not fully house trained or the environment is stressing it out so the dog is leaving a message to other dogs or people about its feelings. So, in your dog's case, I would keep it on a leash or under control during the stay at someone else's place.
Hello. I need some advice and predictions. We used to own a male and female Labrador. They are now 8 years old. The male and female never tried to have sex. He didn't want anything to do with that bust best friends. She had a new friend who was a male and they got right to it. She had a bunch of puppies and unfortunately the male was taken away. I got one of her puppies and brought her home. Now I finially after 6 years want to get her and her best friend back. Her and the male have been living outside in a big cage getting let out to play and exercise daily. They have never been house dogs. So I have my female daughter who has always lived inside. She is calm potty trained and amazing. I want to bring her mommy and her male friend to live with us. I'm not sure how the male will react with the new daughter he's never seen. I also think they will be using the bathroom inside since they were never trained . Do you think the male will pee even more with two females in the house? They are both 8 and the daughter is 6. Also should I get him neutered at this old of an age? Even if he isn't interested in sex? Does it really calm male dogs down? He's always very excited and jumping around so I think this will be a challenge. Any tips for me on how to start training him and introducing him to her daughter?
Do you want that or do you need to get the dog? If you have the option don't put your current dog in stress. For more info about neutering watch the following video: ua-cam.com/video/d6QP7XlejbA/v-deo.html

Keep your dog on leash and under control as much as you can while BC is at your place and while they are not interacting. If they are playing, socializing and interacting, that is fine but as soon as they stop, put them on leash and keep them under control.

My dog always mark areas at my house everytime he sees another dog outside the house we tried scolding him to stop doing that and he still does it anyway
It stresses him so don't let him watch outside and provide a calm area for him to rest after you have provided enough mental and physical stimulation.
please help me with my dog. he keeps on peeing everywhere and after that he kinda kicks the ground. and keeps me pulling around when we are walking. i hope you will help me with this. thank you.

My dog is really well toilet trained at home and in other peoples houses and we haven’t had a problem until we have started taking him to obedience classes. This week was his second week and he pee’d in the lesson 5 times as well as two he had before he went in, one outside in the middle of the class and he also did one of these pees on my foot. I don’t know why and I don’t know how to help him. Next week we are going to try a later class where there are less dogs and see if maybe he was overwhelmed but other than that I am at a loss! Any advice would be amazing, thank you for your help and producing this video!
The group classes usually stress dogs and that is a normal beahviour of dogs who are not ready to be in a group dog training yet. Try private training for now to train your dog at home with a trainer or use my online dog training course to train your dog at home to bring his confidence level up and then try group classes.

Is not also social media or posting a motivation for this behavior? My dog like to take wallks down town at the board walk along the water front. He is sniffing the smells and from time to time he finds something he deems worthy of a response. thats my story of it anyway. He's not stressed and he his having a great time on the walk. gets to go swim, and explore the town. meet lots of people and other dogs as well. he is single and well I thought maybe he was posting on a singles wall ? how else might this be understood? He is a 5 yr old border collie /Shepard mix.
I love how you see it. That is a normal way of being a dog. I wouldn't worry about it.

My dod is three years old and still peeing inside the house. I tried everything with him like take him out for 3 times a day and once we are back after a few minutes he pees inside
I understand that dealing with a dog who continues to pee inside the house can be frustrating. Here are a few suggestions to help address this issue:
Consistent and frequent bathroom breaks: Ensure that you're taking your dog outside for regular bathroom breaks throughout the day. Consistency is key, so establish a routine and stick to it. Consider increasing the frequency of bathroom breaks, especially after meals, playtime, and naps.
Positive reinforcement for outdoor elimination: When your dog successfully goes to the bathroom outside, provide immediate praise, treats, and positive reinforcement. This helps them associate going outside with positive experiences and encourages them to repeat the behavior.
Supervise and restrict access indoors: Until your dog is reliably house-trained, it's important to closely supervise them indoors. Use baby gates, closed doors, or crates to limit their access to areas where accidents commonly occur. This allows you to intervene and redirect them to the appropriate bathroom spot if needed.
Clean accidents thoroughly: It's crucial to clean any indoor accidents thoroughly to remove the scent. Dogs have a strong sense of smell and may be attracted to the same spot if they can still detect the odor. Use a pet-specific enzymatic cleaner to eliminate any lingering scent.
Consider using a crate or confinement area: Utilizing a crate or confinement area can be helpful in preventing accidents and teaching bladder control. Dogs instinctively avoid soiling their sleeping area, so crate training can aid in house-training and promoting appropriate elimination behavior.
Consult a veterinarian: If you've tried these techniques consistently and your dog continues to have frequent accidents, it may be beneficial to consult with a veterinarian. They can rule out any underlying medical conditions that may contribute to the problem.
Remember, house-training requires patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. It may take time for your dog to understand and develop a consistent bathroom routine. With a combination of proper training techniques and patience, you can help your dog overcome this behavior and achieve successful house-training.
My 1 year old pug is now beginning to mark often inside the house. Whenever we take him for a walk he marks everywhere. We have the living room closed off and we keep bathroom and bedroom doors closed but if we forget to close the door he goes in and marks by toilets, the corners of our beds, curtains, and rugs. He has even been marking on our pillows. He used to never mark in the dining room or kitchen (where he is allowed in our house) but now we have found pee on the side of the kitchen island and on the dishwasher. Whenever we are not home we put him in a playpen. How do we fix this problem??
It is a sign that he is stressed for some reason. He is communicating it to you and is telling you how it feels and something is stressing him. Find out what is causing him to get stressed. A new member or a new thing? Any changes? How long you had him now? Can you think of anything that may cause him to get stressed?
@@SaroDogTraining We haven’t had any changes in our house, so I am not sure why he would be stressed. We spend a lot of time with him and we play with him a lot. He only marks when he knows we aren’t looking...
Did you just get him? I suggest to keep him under control, on leash, for time being or in a crate.
Plz help. I've really been trying to potty train my 6 mth old pup. I take him outside and we're out for a while, we come back in then boom, he pees. Any help?
This is a very common issue that some dog owners go through. You need to keep your puppy under control as much as you can. Keep it in a crate or on leash by you. Try to take your puppy as often as you can to the bathroom area or outside and wait until it does it's business. Once it does, you praise it. If it doesn't, you bring it back home after about 15 minutes, keep it on leash by you or put it back in the crate for another hour. Take the dog out after an hour and try it again and repeat. Don't let it free in the house to go and fin a place to do. This is called potty training which you have to teach it to your dog. For more info watch the following video as well.

My 12 year old lasa just moved from my ex's house to be with me. Unfortunately, I have to keep her in a bathroom during the day for about 8 hours a day with 1 walk at the 4 hour mark because of work. (I do potty her before work and after) She has never been alone before and will pee in the bathroom and whine. I've tried to put her in a crate and she hates it. She won't engage with a long filled with treats or anything. How can I potty train her when I can't be there to watch her?
Based on your situation, working 8 hours and coming home in 4 hour and your dog being a 12 year old, I think that is the best you can offer and expect. A 12 year old can hold it for 4 hours unless she has medical conditions that she won't be able to hold or needs to be going more often. In that case, I would hire a professional to take care of my dog.
@@SaroDogTraining Thank you so much for your reply. The vet says she has hip dysplasia, partially blind and partially deaf. She I keep trying to train or go for doggy diapers?..
Also She does also whine after a while seeking attention (I think) she is in a whole new situation and she has never had to be alone (human or other dogs) I was to reassure her that she is OK but I also don't want to encourage the whining. I thank you so much for your help. I've been overwhelmed and I just want to do right by her.
I think for her age and condition, she has the right to whine, because she may be in pain or uncomfortable. Try to provide the best situation and condition for her. Small changes in yours and her life can cause stress and anxiety which can cause her to expressing them by whining. All the best and love from me to you and your dog.
