Dog peeing all over the house.
34 Answers
Can anyone please advise on how to stop my dog (16 month old male border collie) from peeing in all different places in the house.
Its not just a spray like scent marking ....Its a full pee.
He gets out 6 times a day and I just brought him back about an hour ago and he still pee'd down my kitchen door 20 minutes later.
He is not neutered and I dont really want to get him done as people are telling me it can change the dogs personality and take the shine off his coat.
Other than this problem he is a great dog.
Im at my wits end.

I would go back to 'puppy' training - you say he has always done it but only in the lounge. I would restrict him to the kitchen or area that is easy to keep clean. I would also invest in a crate and let him go in it to sleep, chew, etc for short periods, letting him out for a wee (stay out with him till he has done one or two). Bring him back and put him in the crate for a short...

in my experience, neutering a dog does NOT work.( and i regret subjecting my dog to it) there are several sprays on the market that has not worked in my opinion . i think it is a short term behavioural problem that will pass with time. my current dog of 13 years destroyed all the kitchen cupboards (at the age of about 18 months) to my utter dismay (he got a repremanding), but has since turned out to be the most placid hound a man could want. as like children, some like to go through the terrible two's stage. i went through it at 24 : )
i hope that this ceaseses soon. but please do NOT get him neutered. this is a myth when it comes to peeing and humping. i am not a prude nor a do gooder, so i shall say 'how would you like your bits chopping off' would it change you if that happened to you ?
i think it would change your characteristics quite a lot. and understanderbly so.

He has always done it but it was only in the lounge and not quite as much.
Now its in all the rooms and on anything thats left out like the hoover or my gym bag for example.
Ive tried all sorts of cleaning products that people are suggesting but nothing is working and I dont want to get anything new in the house until it stops.

i'm glad to hear that. and am only expressing my experiences as a dog owner. i have spent a great deal of money on pet advise in the past. theropy for animals does not come cheap !! one of the best solutions i was CHARGED for, was to make sure the hound was fed after everybody else in the house was. this approach was to let the hound know that he/she was second in the pecking order. it combatted aggression and behaviour problems that i have had with a dog and a bitch. ps. don't jump down my throat as i was only trying to give advise. if you don't want hard advise, don't ask for it on an answer forum.
