Problems with Zoe peeing on bed again

[Pembroke_Corgi]

If she is having problems with house training, I would recommend going back to the basics and treat her like she is a new puppy. When you can't watch her, gate her in a secure area or crate her. If it's just beds she has a problem with, clean them with something to get rid of the odor (to the dog), vinegar & water works to get rid of the ammonia smell and close the doors. If she doesn't have access to the bed, she can't pee on it.

I agree with Vela. Maybe Zoe needs to go to a home where someone has time to tend to her. My heart breaks for her.

And as much as I'd hate to say it, I agree that this may be the best option for your family and for Zoe.

If it was me, I would not get rehome Zoe for that reason. CoCo is very bad about going to my parents room and peeing on their bed. The simple solution was just to shut the door so CoCo could not get in there again. That is what we have done and it has not been peed on since.

I would never get rehome CoCo for that reason. It has never crossed my family's mind, but you have to do what's right for your family and your dog. Good luck with it.

Thanks for your heart felt support.

So will vinegar and water... stop her from peeing in the beds?

Only consistant training or closing bedroom door will stop the peeing, but the vinegar and water should help to get the smell out.

Okay... so what your telling me is...

This is going to be a life long problem?

Why is it that other people have dogs that don't keep peeing all over the place?
Not to mention... Nipping at one of my daughters.

Nope! What I said is with consistant training and supervision you should be able to cure the problem...but it will take time and effort!

I have 5 dogs, and the reason they aren't peeing all over the place is because we have to constantly supervise and make sure they are getting enough time outside to go potty...and if we are all busy doing something the dogs are put away in their crates until we are there to supervise. Consistancy and a schedule on your part could help you out a lot!

TY!

Wow... 5 dogs? You sound like my XSIL. She has 5 dogs too.

Mixing 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 water should help remove the smell that makes it attractive for her to go potty there. It's possible that she smells other accidents (if your daughter is only 2 1/2, accidents happen, even with diapers, and Zoe may smell that) and is marking over that. My RB cat had hyperthyroidism, and as she got very old she had quite a few accidents even with her medication. My dogs never go potty in the house, but they did pee over the spot where there was an accident when they got into her room once. Removing the smell may help somewhat but I'd keep a very close watch on her, that way if you catch her you can quickly take her outside. Oh, also make sure not to use any cleaners with ammonia in them on these spots because this smells like urine to dogs and they might feel inclined to mark over it. Good luck!
