6 year old Pit peeing ALL OVER CARPET! HELP!!

[Karen]

Definitely get to a pet supply store and get "Nature's Miracle" or some other similar product - it has an enzyme that breaks down the chemical that makes pets think "Aha! Good spot to pee!" Clean every spot with that stuff.

Then be very vigilant - take him out often, don't go back in until he's "done his business." Bundle up if necessary, I do understand it is January out there!

Is he neutered? Are there any new dogs in the house? Any other recent changes in the household he might be reacting to?

Hiyah Eddydog,
Dont worry about this it is naturalfor a dog that age to wee all of the house we were worried about our dog at first as well but we found out from our local vet how to fix the problem.

The way to sort the problem is by taking him to the place you want him to do the toilet and keep doing this till he realises that thats were he does it and so each time you do he will eventually stop peeing all over the house and start giving you a sign like whing which will mean he needs the toilet another way to sort the problem is to get dog pads this will help because the scent will bring him to this and he will dispose its whatever.


Hopefully this will help you alot
Love Michelle x

Hiyah again im so sorry but i read your msg wrong but i thought your dog was six months anyway i still have advise for you ?

The problem is while your son was at the house he was not the top dog, No as your son is away he is probably marking his terriety and finding his place in the home again.
hopfully this will help you
love Michelle x

Your dog was checked by the vet? Is the dog actually using the bathroom in the house, or could it be a UTI or an incontinence problem? My 6 year old German Shepherd (female, though) is incontinent.

an incontinence problem? My 6 year old German Shepherd (female, though) is incontinent.

I have the same problem with my four year old german shepherd - although we've only had him for 8-9 months. What do you do about your dog's incontinence problem?

About a month ago, we were just steam cleaning up after her. She really dosen't seem like she knows she's doing it. Then she started getting up on the couches when we left, so she stays out on the lanai (back porch) when we are gone. She has a washable bed that she goes to sleep on. We don't let her drink water after 8pm. We did have meds that we used for a little while, I forget the name, it begins with a P, but they didn't work. I am taking her to another vet in about 2 weeks to see if I could put her on a pill that was recommended, called DES. And we are also getting our house tiled next week. I have also heard that cranberries/cranberry juice helps with it, but I haven't tried it myself.

I wonder sometimes if Roscoe is marking the house - we started limiting his water and taking him for walks right before we go anywhere so he marks all over and gets all of his pee out. I try to make him mark outside until nothing comes out when he lifts his leg. I never heard of the cranberry juice, but that kind of makes sense because that's what a person is supposed to drink when you have a UTI.
