    Dog Trouble
    I have a small dog who is about 9 years old and he urintaes in the house only at night, he has plenty of opportunity to go outside but for some reason every morning there it is. Help?

    First off, he'll need bloodwork and an urinalysis to rule out infection or metabolic causes. If these tests are within normal limits, a vet may offer you a drug to help tighten the sphincter muscle of the bladder. This medication works well and helps with the leaking. Make an appointment!

    Most behavior problems that crop up call for a vet appointment and explaining the problem. You can't train a physical problem away.

    If the vet doesn't fix the problem, try taking up the water dish about 7 PM and making sure the dog moves around enough to stimulate the body to relieve itself on the last trip out.

    If it's not a medical problem, you probably just need to work with his training.
