3-year-old pom that ALWAYS pees inside of the house

by Kyle
(Northeast)

I have had Buscuit, my 3-year-old pom, since he was only a few months old. We trained him to do his business on a pee pad on an enclosed back deck. Unfortunately, he always seems to pee in our living room (maybe 1 out of 5 or 7 times). There are about three spots that he constantly pees on whenever he decides to.

In order to stop his peeing, we have tried scent neutralizer, punishing him via a good pad as he is doing it, showing him what he has done, and letting him out as often as possible. And while sometimes he goes where he is supposed to, he won't change his habits for anything!

When he does pee, he always runs behind a couch (between the wall and the back of the couch) where he can't be reached, sits and growls. It doesn't matter if he has been caught or not. We have even closed off the areas behind the couches, but he will still pee and get as close as he can to the blocked opening.

Does anyone have any suggestions to help me out...because, MAN do I need them about now!:)

Thank you very much,
Kyle

my pom
by: Anonymous

my pom constantly pees on my bed and floor. i know how irritating it can be. she did just this morning despite the fact that i took her out at 11 before i went to sleep and 7 when i woke up. i do'nt know why she always pees. i am going to start crating her every time i see her pee, although i hardly ever do. Pomeranians can be annoying, but very lovable. My advice would be to put a mat where the dog keeps peeing.

Pee in house
by: Mary

Good luck. I have one that will pee in the house sometimes if we go away and leave the 2 dogs behind. She does it out of spite. I have tried everything possible to stop her but nothing works. She is 13 now so I guess she won't change and is starting to sleep most of the day so I suspect she won't live long. I guess I just have to put up with it, clean it up and love her anyway. Thank heavens she doesn't do it real often.
