Puppy Piddles On Floor

My puppy piddles on the floor when she greets visitors at our front door.

Puppy piddles on floor. You dog just took a piddle on your hardwood floor. If piddles starts to wiggle and squirm in excitement they should quickly remove their attention and treat him as if he doesn t exist. This is common in rescued dogs and shy anxious and timid dogs. Owning a dog that pees in the house is inconvenient at best.

If your potty trained new puppy or rescue dog occasionally pees on the floor for no fathomable reason then you might have a dog with submissive or excitement urination issues. Dogs have evolved if you don t want to believe or not they have. While your dog might be your best friend that puddle on the floor sure isn t. Yeah long fur can add to frequent slipping on the part of the dog especially the hardwood floor that is reliable to slipping.

I need you to evolve as well and stop looking at your dog as some furry little creature that you find adorable. Reading through your post makes it so logical why hardwood floor is not ideal for aging older dogs. Your dog may need some time before its bladder muscles relax enough for urination. This sounds like either excitement based urination or submissive urination both of which commonly happen during greetings.

This puppy was still in his mother s womb 8 weeks ago and unfortunately his bladder is not yet fully developed. So what s going on here. Then as soon as he s still they can reward him with petting. You take him outside to his potty spot and.

What s going on and what can i do about it. Hi marla i must commend you for a thoughtful article. Submissive dogs pee when they re greeted when someone approaches and when there s a history of rough treatment or punishment after inappropriate peeing. Place a thick wad of paper towels or dish towels on the puddle.

Dogs that urinate submissively are trying to appease someone they see as socially dominant and to escape being punished. Dogs do the same except they pee or chew up a brand new bed you got your dog or scratch up the walls. You need to act fast. Expect immediate accidents the first few times because piddles is used to his old routine see friends greet excitedly and urinate.

Give your dog 10 15 minutes to finish urinating. Your old dog is not suddenly peeing on the floor because they are mad at you or out of spite. She doesn t have accidents in the house at any other time and she s friendly and enjoys people. Your puppy finishes eating breakfast we feed our puppies wellness core puppy formula and you think this is probably a good time to give him a chance to potty.

Really the same goes for yelling too it won t help. As a dog owner i have not really put this into consideration. Dogs know what they want and what they don t want like. Spanking is not going to solve the issue it actually never does but i digress.

Unless your dog s bladder is full your dog may not urinate completely as soon as it gets outside.
