pawpaw Posted October 27, 2002 Posted October 27, 2002 my puppy MiMi (6mnth/chua/minpin mix) is starting to pee on my bed (also made a #2) and i was wondering why??? she is a very smart dog, already knows sit/stay (the basics) ... we trained her with the puppy pads and kept moving them right up to the front door until she went to them and waited for me to take her out. also now anytime i ask her if she wants to go out/or i have to say "bad girl" she gets so excited she pees . i went out and got more pads for her but she wont use them b/c its more like a nervouse pee thing going on.... what happend???? im confused. all has been ok for the past month or so. thanks in advance ~Mell~ :n00b: Quote
pawpaw Posted October 27, 2002 Author Posted October 27, 2002 its a little bit of both..... she's just going where ever and when ever. and when you tell her "bad girl" or "no" she does it again. even tho i love her with all my heart, i can't avoid these words all together. so im kind of stuck. the vet says it might be b/c we just moved here and she is confused, but i dont understand why she would be confused about the wee wee pads, should i just start from square one and train her all over again? do they make pampers for dogs?...lol :mad: Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 27, 2002 Posted October 27, 2002 Some breeds - spaniels can be an example - do sometimes have bladder problems. It might be something like that, rather than misbehaviour, but i would suggest this is unlikely if number #2's are part of the equation also... Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 29, 2002 Posted October 29, 2002 HOw old is she?? Because if you just moved and she started this after you moved then I would suggest re-enforceing the training. Not to totally start over again. But like go out with her and when she goes potty give her praise and let her know that she is doing it where you want her to. The bed thing is, in my opinion, a dominance issue. Just because my pup, when he was about 4 months old, while I was still living with my mom, started to go into her room specifically for that reason. He would jump up on the bed and go...she would walk into her room a few minutes later and he would already be out the door, or hiding. (yes, he was a little s*&^) :wink: But anyways, he was doing it because he wanted to be over her in rank, (he knew I was in charge and so would never do it to me) So I think you need to re-enforce some of that training as well, let her know who is boss again. Try to catch her in the act and then take her off the bed and grab her by the scruff of the neck, not to hard, and then bear your teeth and make a growling noise, this will let her know that you are in charge and that she shouldn't be doing this on your area. Let us know how things work out. Quote
pawpaw Posted November 10, 2002 Author Posted November 10, 2002 :-? MiMi is still peeing on the bed, im starting to loose my brain a little bit, i have been keeping the door closed and walking her more, but for what ever reasons, someone will leave the door open and she just hops on up and goes... and goes... and goes.... the other day she went on the couch! She knows she is wrong because i catch her in the act and she bows her head down and whimpers or she will roll onto her back and play miss's IM SO CUTE! .. :angel: .... She has realy become hand shy, no one here hurts her in any way, we just give constant love even tho she turrned my bead spread from white to yellow, we keep the kisses coming. i was talking to the person i got her from to see if the mom/pop had this problem, and they didnt.. so im thinking about looking into profesional trainning do you thik that would work with a submission/dominance problem... can a dog even have both???? im so lost and i feel alone with this problem! thanks in advance for any replies. ~Mel~ Quote
mcobbin Posted November 20, 2002 Posted November 20, 2002 i'm sorry to hear about your situation. it's tough when something you love so much causes so much distress....kind of puts you in a predicament. but, i understand what you mean!! recently my fiance moved in, and we began moving the furniture from room to room. to my horror, my lovley, well mannered, house training guru dog sat right in the floor in front of us and pooed!!! he's 3 years old and has NEVER done anything like this before. before the week was over, he had gone #2 on the stairs twice and even layed in my lap on the couch and peed!! I was appauled and bewildered. but, i took into consideration that this was a difficult time for him. Everything familiar in his little "den" was getting turned upside down. especially with smaller dogs who live indoors, your house is their WORLD!! dogs are like kids, and they both need stability to function. studies have shown similar results in children who are experiencing change or trauma.....so i guess just keep the love coming, and ignore her bad behaviors whenever possible. remember that even negative attention "saying 'no' and 'bad girl'" are reinforcing. they ensure that your little girl is getting her fair share of attention in this new environment. i hope that everything works out for you, it did with my little boy!! keep the faith. :lol: Quote
