How to Stop Your Dog From Peeing in the House?
Many pet owners have trouble with their pets peeing in the house. Dogs and cats both tend to occasionally go potty inside their homes. Some animals relieve themselves indoors when they are anxious or in need of a bathroom. Training your pet to stop doing this is easier than it sounds, assuming you know how.
When animals go to the bathroom, they want to feel comfortable and safe. In the wild, they would typically go outside to relieve themselves. However, many animals live in houses with people, and they don't like going outside either. A dog or cat that feels unsafe or anxious while indoors might choose to go there instead. It's a natural reaction for an animal to try to avoid uncomfortable feelings and make itself comfortable again. To train your pet to stop peeing in the house, you must reassure them that they are safe and loved when they are indoors. In addition, you must teach them that their privacy is of the utmost importance and should be respected at all times.
If your pet always goes indoors, limits his freedom for short periods of time and is not stressed by his situation, he probably needs to go outside sometimes too. Some animals learn that it's easier to go potty outdoors- they don't have to worry about people or other animals seeing them. This is why training your pet to stop peeing in the house is easier when they aren't confined 24/7 either. Confined animals tend to hold on too much anxiety and stress from their human handlers to ever successfully relieve themselves indoors. To prevent this from happening, you should let your animal run around freely during the day without restrictions- and then confine them at night for safety. After doing this for a while, your pet will start going outdoors during the day too- reducing their chances of an accident altogether.
You can easily find out if your dog is stressed or anxious by looking for the underlying cause of his peeing problems. Many dogs and cats get upset from changes in their environment- including changes in temperature, noise levels and presence of people or other animals. When excited or scared, they will often urinate or defecate as a way of releasing their built-in tension as well as a way of communicating distress to you. If your dog always pees on your carpet - however - it doesn't mean he's distressed from urinating on it either. He may be peeing on it because he wants to clean it - much the same way that people do when they're upset about something in their home.
To stop your dog from peeing in the house, reassure him that he's safe and loved when he's indoors- and limit his freedom during stressful times. Confined animals tend to hold on too much anxiety from their human handlers to ever successfully train themselves not to pee in the house. Instead, let your dog freely roam during calm times and confine him at night for safety's sake. Dogs are naturally clean animals that understand what is sacred and what is disposable. They know that things that belong to them should be treated with care, but things that are disposable may experience accidents from stress or defecateness anyway.
