We Have A 9 Week Old Puppy That House Trains Really Well With One Exception…
We have a 9 week old puppy that house trains really well with one exception. He keeps popping in my daughter room. We keep the door shut, I have steam cleaned and scrubbed the carpet, but if the door is open for a couple minutes he will do his business in there.
He has a spot in the yard where he goes and I take him outside every hour or more often, so it isn’t that he doesn’t know where to go or intervals are too long. He also never pooped anywhere else in the house.
What can we do to discourage him from pooping in her room?

Jana Sounds like either the smell remained even after all that cleaning (you might need to try something to kill the scent such as vinegar/baking soda mixture or one of the good enzyme-based cleaners) or he has a reason why he feels he must do that such as marking the place. (dogs use either urine or poop for marking)
What do you do when he does it outside, does he get praise and reward(s)? What do you do when he does it in the room?
Is it one particular spot in the room or any area within?
I remember Dr. Coren had some good suggestions on redefining the area. Such as using the area in question for feeding and/or play with the argument that dogs don’t potty where they eat or play. You could definitely try that.

Anonymous He’s too young to have that level of freedom in the house. At this age he should be tethered to you when you can supervise him and crated when you can’t.
-
PK Dennis I agree with Laura, this puppy is too young for the amount of freedom you are giving him. Tether him to you with a leash when you can’t watch him like a hawk until he is 6 monrhs old or even older. It takes months to house train a puppy

Wiebke Wiebel Thank you for your reply. Yes, he gets praised and rewarded for going outside. When he poops in her room I just remove it without saying anything. I will look into redefining the area like you suggested.
Hello, My Wife Is Currently In Kuwait With Their Family. They Have A Cat And…
Hello, My wife is currently in Kuwait with their family. They have a cat and they believe it has been bitten by a bug. The cat has started acting very strange; trying to bite it’s tail, breathing very heavily. It’s face and paws have become very red, its sweating too. Because it is Ramadan over there they cannot access any help for the cat for the next 4 hours. Any idea what it could be, and what they can do? They are worried the cat may die.

Eleven Bestill The situation is getting worse; it has bitten its tail so much that it is bleeding very badly.
-
Eleven Bestill Krista: Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately they cannot access any services for the next 4 hours. I guess until then they will have to hang on.
-
Eleven Bestill Does anyone have any advice on how to stop the cat from biting itself / bleeding in the meantime???
-
Eleven Bestill Thankfully the cat has been fully vaccinated. It had calmed down a bit, but if it starts again then restraint may be the best option. Thank you for your help and advice. I’ve tried so many places, and this is the only one where I have had positive advice!
-
Eleven Bestill They managed to go to the vet after waiting 4 hours. During that time he had calmed down a bit and gone very quiet so no restraint necessary! The vet said it some sort of bite and they gave him a shot. They said all should be fine. Scare over! Thank you for your advice 🙂

PK Dennis If it just happened within the last few mins, pour some hydrogen peroxide down their throats which will make them vomit up some of the chocolate.

We Moved Into An Apartment Since November And Everything Was Fine In The Beginning She…
We moved into an apartment since November and everything was fine in the beginning she was on the balcony all day and at night she would be in a crate in the bathroom. Recently she started peeing inside the crate so we have to bathe her daily and use strong cleaning products and it’s just making us sick. I just had a small surgery and cannot even walk in the bathroom because the wound could get infected. Please help !!!

PK Dennis You don’t need to use strong chemicals to clean up after your dog – vinegar will do the job. Any kind of vinegar – Wal Mart has Cleaning Vinegar which has a lower pH, and it is found in the grocery section with all the other vinegar. You can mix the vinegar with water, 1/3 vinegar, 2/3 water. This neutralizes the smell of urine, and kills bacteria/germs. The vinegar smell disappears as it dries. You can use the same mix to rinse her off when she has an accident – just stand her in the tub, hose her off with plain water, then using a squirt bottle, work the vinegar and water mix into her coat to deodorize her.
Are you taking her out to pee just before she goes into her crate at night? Have you taken her to a vet to see if she has a bladder infection? Many dogs don’t like to pee on decks or balconies and so they hold it as long as they can – which can lead to bladder infections. In a 15 year old dog, even the stress of a new home can lead to complications in her health.
Have you considered dog diapers? There are several brands out there for dogs that can not control their bladders – so you would walk her, then put her into her crate with a diaper on. You just have to pay attention that she does not develop a diaper rash or sores.
This girl has spent her entire life loving you – and she deserves the best you can offer to her. Take her for a check up, and work to keep her comfortable, and with you.
And last of all – don’t send her to die in a shelter. At her age she will not be adopted and in the days before they kill her, she will be sad, depressed, and wondering where her people are. Don’t condemn her to worry and confusion by giving her away. If you truly can’t keep this girl after all that she has done for you, the least you can do is take her to a vet and have her put down while she is in your loving arms.

debra yuhasz The thought that someone would abandon a life long friend because she gets old or sick is beyond me. Would you do this to a parent or a child? Hate to say it out loud, but I’m so glad you are not related to me!
-
Yajhaira Quijada That’s why I’m asking for advice/ solutions obviously I don’t want to give her away but given my condition and just everything going on with her I’m not even giving her the treatment she should be getting… And as far as I’m concerned this is not a site where you go and bash people for their situations and or judge given you don’t know me lol.
-
Yajhaira Quijada I have taken her to the vet and she’s very healthy but unfortunately her age is starting to show. I do take her out multiple times after putting her in her crate to try and avoid her peeing inside but I believe it’s just happening in her sleep now or something and she can’t hold it anymore. Thank you for your suggestions but I would never take her to a shelter or have her put down. Definitely dog diapers is an option just afraid she might just want to rip them off but we’ll give them a try. Thanks again.

PK Dennis Look at some youtube videos about introducing harness or muzzles to your dog – use the same principles for the diapers. Zak George has a good one to watch. Let her sniff and treat. Then touch it to her and treat, lay it on her back and then treat. Treat then remove it. Treat then remove it, repeat, repeat, repeat. Work slowly until it is finally on place. Take it off and treat. Put it on- take it off and treat. Put it on, lure her to take a few steps , take it off and treat. Repeat. Good luck.

debra yuhasz I was not trying to bash you at all. Just stating a fact. I am disabled and not in good health. Yet I still manage to care for my old ones and all the other rescues that get dumped over my fence. Many of them old and confused and possibly sick. It’s hard and it’s heartbreaking to see these dogs who with a small amount of care become well again. Most I am able to place, but the old ones always end up staying with me. Maybe I said what I did because I care too much.
-
debra yuhasz I have found that as a dog ages they just can’t hold it long enough any more. Even older dogs usually take to paper training. Maybe you could try that. My Rheana is 17 and now lives in the corner of the couch. When she wants down she scratches my leg or the corner of the couch. She can no longer make the trek through the house to go out the doggy door. At 15 I was able to paper train her and she now goes on a piece newspaper under the coffee table only a foot away.

debra yuhasz Unfortunatly I’m the kind of person that just states the fact as I see it. Sometimes it’s taken wrong. I care for dogs more than I care for most people. What you said about Savannah touched my heart. I feel the same way.
