My dog won't stop peeing in my house

Gizzy · Oct 13, 2009, 11:40 AM

I have a male neutered Yorkie that just will not stop peeing in the house. He knows how to let me know when he has to go cause he has done it many times before. I have two other dogs that are both female, one is spayed and the other one is just getting over her first heat cycle per vet requested. My vet will not spayed her till she has had her first heat cycle. Now this problem with my yorkie has always been there. He belongs to my son but he is a truck driver and couldn't keep him on the truck anymore cause they have him on the go all the time and he wouldn't have the time to stop to let the little guy potty so we had him bring him here with us. I have tried the pee pads with some of that house braking spay thinking that maybe if I could get him to go in one place instead of where ever he wanted then I could work on him from there but that isn't working either..I have gates up so he is only aloud in one room and that being the room with no carpet and he just pees on the run leaving a trail behind him like he is practicing to be a fireman. I have had him checked and the vet don't seem to think he has any health issues but something is wrong here and I sure don't know what it could be..I do not and will not give him up but my hubby is losing his cool here...I really need some advice please.

This little guy has had it bad before my son bought him at 8 months old. He got him from a puppy mill and he was kept in a cage for those 8 months. His two front feet are out to the side like a duck's feet and he has some teeth problems that we are working on. He is the most loveable dog I have had. I have him as well as my other two dogs sleep in crates at night and he does really good in that.

Please help
Thanks

I like to be over cautious rather than under... have lived with quite a few dogs over the years which means I unfortunately have had to deal with a lot of problems.

I'm glad Johnny ended up with you, you sound like you really care for your animals.

Yup, that's my boy on my profile pic, I have 2 Miniature Poodles at the moment, they used to be show dogs but they didn't make the cut...

I have never seen an American Eskimo! We don't have them here in Australia, from the pictures I have seen though they are beautiful dogs.
And my mother has just ordered a Basset Hound... I hope they are as nice as all the information on the web suggests! haha

Oh you can bet I will keep my eye on him and my son said he will pay all the vet bill's for him and he takes care of his food but I told him he don't have to do this cause he is now a part of our family and I don't mind at all paying for him..I guess he just hates not being able to have him with him anymore but its to hard on the both of them and really not fare to Johnny...I to am glad Johnny ended up with me cause he is such a little guy and so lovable...Ty for the comment...

OMG Amecian Eskimo's are beautyful. How did you get your picture to show up in here? I will put her Johnny and Gabie up in here so you can see them. as for the Basset hounds you can't ask for a better dog to be honest with you but they have a really bad odor about them and you have to bath them all the time..I bath Gabie twice a week some times even more depending on how bad she smells..She is a very good dog and was so easy to train and she is supper loveable. She thinks she is a lap dog...lol

To put a picture up just click on the "go advanced" button below then that will bring you to a new screen with more option...
Then there will a paper clip up the top of the text box...
Just click on that and browse for you pictures and click 'upload'

I know this isn't one you asked about but I know Bassets are very wrinkly loose skinned dogs, have you tried using pet wipes on his skin, especially any folds, rather than bathing him?
In a lot of cases bathing can make them smell worse because it removes the essential oils from their skin.

Oh I see the paper clip in here so will attach them....

As for my Basset hound she is 3 1/2 years old and so far not one wringle yet..She is a beautiful dog and was the best one of the litter...I got her from TX, my daughter in-law got a male and called me telling me how great he was and as soon as I seen the picture I just had to have one but I didn't want no male..I was pretty lucky she has one female left and my Gabie was it.. I have used those pet wipes on her in between baths but use them all over her and it does help out a little but I think one of the reason her odor come's back so fast is she sleeps in a crate at night and she even gets in it when she takes her naps which is a lot..These dogs sleep a lot and are very playfull when up but for the most part she is laid back...

I love the Eskimo, so cute! You can't even see her collar she's so fluffy!

I'm glad Bassets are as laid back as their profile suggests! Mum was after a nice quiet, calm dog... she has miniature poodles (she bred my little girl) and a very psychotic, energetic, crazy great dane!

Thanks..Tinkerbell is a little sweety that is for sure..She loves attention and is not liking little Johnny being here cause now she has to share the attention with him. They are starting to fight a bit and she gets him down and won't let him up...lol... Gabie the Basset is calm till she hears a noise or the other dogs get her going other then that she is sleeping..I call her my lazy one..Poor Tinkerbell is in heat right now and not at all to happy so I was really shocked she set still for that picture...My hubby told them to stay and that is just want they did..lol..

Is her being in heat bothering Johnny at all or is he not paying any attention to her (other than just playing)

Johnny is a little rough neck and I think that Tinkerbell don't like that so she has to set him stright..lol...As for Johnny paying attention to her being in heat, oh yeah he is always trying to get both the girls, Gabie more so and she is spayed. I have been trying everything to stop him from doing that but he just goes right back to it..He really took a liking to Gabie that way and she just sets there like go for it bud cause you are scratching my back....lol

Haha... at least one of them doesn't mind!

Whenever I give my girl a bath (she is spayed) my male (who is entire) thinks she is in season because she smells different, I get a little vicks vapor rub and put it above her tail, it stops him from doing it because the smell is very strong and he doesn't like it... it doesn't bother her at all.

Wow I am going to try that one then..I get tired of telling him to stop it and I sure don't want this kind of behavoir going on when my little grandkids come around..I do not want to explain that..lol..
