How To Train A Dog Not Pee In The House

Introduction

If your dog has suddenly started peeing in the house, you may be at a loss for how to deal with it. Is he incontinent? In pain? Or does he simply not remember what he learned when you first brought him home? If you’re frustrated, trust me: I know how you feel. That’s why I’ve put together this list of steps to help train your dog not to pee in the house.

If your dog has suddenly started peeing in the house, you may be at a loss for how to deal with it.

If your dog has suddenly started peeing in the house, you may be at a loss for how to deal with it. Dogs that have been trained to go outside and then are expected to change their habits will often begin peeing in the house because they’ve gotten confused about what is acceptable behavior and what isn’t. This can happen for a number of reasons:

  • You’re trying to potty train your dog too quickly or you’re making too big of an adjustment at once (e.g., from going outside every time to only taking him out occasionally).
  • Your dog has been spayed or neutered and this has thrown off his normal schedule for elimination (this is especially common among older dogs).
  • He’s not feeling well (your vet might be able to tell if he has an infection) or he could have some kind of underlying medical issue such as Cushing’s disease or diabetes.

The first thing that you need to do is schedule a visit to the vet’s office to make sure that there are no underlying medical problems.

The first thing that you need to do is schedule a visit to the vet’s office to make sure that there are no underlying medical problems. You might think that your dog has just started peeing inside because he’s bored or doesn’t like being left alone, but in reality, there could be an underlying medical problem causing him to exhibit this behavior. These can include arthritis, incontinence and diabetes.

The second thing that you should do is get your dog on a diet of premium food and add extra fiber into his diet. This will help with bladder control issues and will also help your dog have less accidents when out on walks as well as indoors. It can take some time for these changes to become effective though so be patient while waiting for results!

Once you’ve ruled out any medical issues, it’s time to get back to basics and start house training your dog all over again.

Once you’ve ruled out any medical issues, it’s time to get back to basics and start house training your dog all over again. Here are some tips:

  • Get a crate. If your dog is not already crate trained, now is the time to get started. A crate will keep him safe when he needs some alone time, but most importantly it will make sure he doesn’t have access to the things that could lead him back into bad habits like chewing or escaping from his confinement area.
  • Set up a schedule. Dogs are creatures of habit and require consistency so they know what’s expected of them in order not only to feel secure but also so they can anticipate what might happen next in their day-to-day lives (or nights). This means setting up a schedule for feeding times, going outside for bathroom breaks and bedtime routines so that your puppy knows exactly when he’ll get his playtime or cuddle time with you!

Be consistent about taking your dog outside at regular intervals.

Consistent, frequent trips outside are essential to keeping your dog from peeing in the house. They can also help prevent other common problems like chewing, digging and barking.

In addition to consistent potty breaks, it’s important that you don’t let your dog out of his crate or pen until he has had breakfast and dinner (and sometimes lunch). This will allow him time to digest his food before going outside. If he goes right after eating, he may have an accident because his bladder isn’t full yet.

Praise your dog when he pees outside, and make sure he knows he’s done a good job.

When your dog pees outside, make sure he knows he’s done a good job! Praise him with a treat or pat on the head.

If you want to train your dog not to pee in the house, it’s important that you keep up with this routine every time. He’ll soon learn that peeing outside is good behavior and that peeing inside gets him nothing but praise from his owner.

Don’t punish your dog if he has an accident inside.

Punishment can lead to more accidents. If your dog has an accident, don’t punish him. Punishing your dog after the fact may make him afraid of going outside and pottying, which will make the problem worse!

Punishment can make a dog afraid of you. If you think that punishing your dog will teach them not to pee in the house, then think again! The reason that punishment works for some dogs is because it makes them afraid of their owner (AKA: The person who punishes). This fear can lead to destructive behavior or even aggression toward people in general—not just people at home!

Punishment can make a dog afraid of the house or yard where he lives. Punishing a puppy for peeing inside may cause him to associate his home with something negative: fear, anger or pain. In addition to making him fearful about going outside for potty breaks (see above), this association could also mean that he’ll be reluctant about entering other rooms in your house as well

Put up a baby gate in doorways so you can keep him on one level of the house until he gets used to going outside again.

If your dog is used to being able to go wherever he wants, try keeping him in one room while you’re home and then closing that door when you leave. That way, he won’t feel lonely or abandoned while he adjusts to being alone (and eliminating outside), and you’ll be able to keep tabs on his progress without having to worry about accidents!

Make it difficult for him to have accidents in the house.

  • Put up a baby gate on the stairs and any other area where you don’t want him going, like your bedroom or office.
  • Do not allow him to move freely around your house, especially if he has a tendency to pee on carpets and rugs. Either keep him on one level of the house when you aren’t home or put his bed on a rug so that he can’t mark his territory if he needs to go outside.
  • Don’t let them roam free in your home unsupervised—this means no open doors, no running through rooms looking for something fun and exciting (like playing with some toys), etc., as well as making sure they don’t get access to food or water when people are away from home

Clean up accidents as soon as they happen so the scent doesn’t tempt him back into that spot.

It’s important to clean up accidents as soon as they happen, so the scent doesn’t tempt him back into that spot. Use an enzyme cleaner that breaks down urine byproducts instead of harsh chemicals that can irritate your pup’s skin and respiratory system. If you use a pet-safe enzyme cleaner, you’ll be able to keep using it on the same spots without having to worry about odor build-up in their carpet fibers.

A good rule of thumb is: if your dog pees in his crate or in his playpen, don’t make him sleep or play there anymore. You want him to associate those areas with something negative—not something positive like being cuddled up with his favorite stuffed animal or playing tug-of-war with a squeaky toy!

Dogs want to please their owners and keep their houses pee-free so they can be trained not to pee in the house.

Dogs are very good at learning from their mistakes. That’s why it’s so important to train your dog not to pee in the house, because if you don’t train them correctly and teach them what the rules are for using the bathroom, then they may end up doing something wrong and making a mistake that could have been easily avoided had you trained them properly.

It’s also important to keep in mind that dogs want nothing more than to please their owners. They want to keep their houses clean and free of urine stains and odors, which means they will try hard not to pee inside if they know that’s what we want from them!

Conclusion

If you find that your dog is peeing in the house, don’t panic. It’s a behavior that can be trained out of them with a little patience and consistency. If he has been doing it for a long time, though, it may take some time for him to unlearn the habit.
