Stop hitting him or acting like you are going to hit him. That's abuse.
Wondergirl beat me to it...
Would you pee if someone a lot bigger than you kept coming up and hitting you?
You hit your dog? Do you hit your girlfriend, or your kids?
A dog doesn't understand anger. A dog doesn't understand English, or whatever language you speak to it. A dog only understands training and praise.
You are abusing your dog. He pees because he's afraid of you.
What you're doing is animal abuse.
If you would like to learn the correct way to treat your dog, I'm more than willing to train you. If not, then I would suggest re-homing the dog to someone with the time and patience to treat this dog humanely.
Before you get upset about my post, you should know that I really bit my tongue on this one. I'm ready to hit you until you pee your pants, that's how mad I am. But I will help you, because I want to save your dog.
Let me know if you want to be taught. I'll be here.
Take Alty up on her offer.
Be willing to listen to what she says and act on it.
She knows her stuff.
Your behavior is unacceptable, the dog is afraid of you, that is no way for him to have to live.
Thank Lady Sam.Quote:

At least a human being understands somewhat, but a dog doesn't. A dog only knows that the person that they love beyond reason, and we all know a dogs love knows no bounds, is hitting them. A dog doesn't understand why. A dog doesn't learn from being hit, no one does, but least of all a dog. A dog only does its best to be a good dog. Hitting doesn't teach the dog anything other than fear.
I have dogs. I will admit that there are times when I'd really like to give them a slap. The other day Rascal nosed through the garbage, grabbed a soup can that still had soup in it, took it to my bed, and got soup all over my bed. I was not happy.
What was Rascals punishment? I told him no very firmly, grabbed him by the collar and put him outside, cleaned up the mess, and then, when I let him inside, I stood guard by the garbage can, and every time he went near it, I said NO! Did he learn not to go in the garbage? Not completely. But I took the first step, and he's learning, willing to learn. Fact is, not once did I raise my hand to him, only my voice. And my voice is far more affective than any beating. He knows when I'm mad, he can hear it in my voice, and see it in my body language. That's how dogs communicate.
Does hitting a dog work? Yes, if you hit your dog whenever he goes in the garbage, or bites you, sooner or later your dog will learn that doing these things will result in a beating. Dogs aren't stupid, they understand cause and effect. To the OP, here's the difference between what I do and what you do.
My dog; "If I go in the garbage my owner will say no, and no means that I shouldn't do that. She will then put me outside, and I don't want to be away from her. So, if I stop going in the garbage, my owner will be happy, and I'll get to be with her. When I stay away from the garbage I get pets, and a treat. I love it when she pets me. I love being with her."
OP's dog; "If I go in the garbage my owner will hit me. Hitting hurts, and I don't understand it. I know I don't like it, and it makes me afraid, so I'll stay away from the garbage. I understand that the garbage is bad, and so is my owner. I don't want to be with my owner, I'd rather be outside, far away from him".
That's the difference.
Oh geez...
If you read their other posts, this is not as strange
Wow... you wasn't kidding.Quote:

How old is he? How long have you had him? Does he show any other submissive behaviors such as showing his belly when he thinks you are upset?
If he has been abused, you are going to have to gain his trust and rebuild his confidence. It starts with not raising your hand around him for awhile or even petting roughly. You might even need to be careful with your tone and loudness of your voice. Teach him commands using positive reinforcement. As he learns what you want and that you won't hurt him, his confidence will grow and he won't pee as much.
We can only go by what you write, and you wrote that you hit your dog. You didn't write that he was abused before you got him, and you didn't write that you don't hit him roughly, you wrote that he pees every time you hit him.Quote:

Frankly I'm not buying that you don't hit him. I think you're changing your story now because of the outrage we all feel towards animal abusers.
I bet it's somewhat amusing, though, knowing he's been abused, to swing back your hand like you're going to hit him, and watch him cower in fear.
Exactly.Quote:

Hopefully the dog will be given a new home, a home with someone that will love him, give him the compassion and understanding he deserves. So far it seems this poor dog has had nothing bad bad luck with two horrible owners. :(
Sadly there are some people who would find that amusing. I'll keep my descriptive terms of those people to myself.Quote:

If not then you need to rehome him, look for a rescue that will take him and work with him, not just some Joe Shmoe off the street who is also going to treat him badly.
Listen my friend has a dog who every time you go next to her or pet her she will pee your pet might of bin abused from the owner before you sooo he/she is scared give it a little time and give your dog time to get used to and relize you will not hurt it and all those other peeps we don't need a hole lecture about it
So you think beating a dog is okay? He has admitted twice that he hits the dog, and that the dog pees when he hits it, or raises his hand to it.Quote:

He said he play-hits the dog and pretends like he is going to hit. What part of that do you not understand?Quote:

Where are you seeing this hole lecture? Not one person mentioned holes, or gave a lecture on them.Quote:

Well, if your dog pees every time you "play" hit him, than the only resolution to him not peeing when you do that, or raise your hand, or move quickly with your hands... is to not do it.Quote:

How about this thread be closed? This person is a troll...
