When adult dogs can't control themselves

 

When adult dogs can't control themselves

 

Even a fully grown and educated dog can encounter a situation in which it can't control its necessities. However, when this becomes repetitive, it is probable that there's a deeper cause than a simple mistake, whether medical or psychological. A male dog may suddenly find it comfortable to raise its hind leg and urinate on house objects, such as a table, a chair, a bed, or even on house visitors. It is a known way to mark its territory by means of smell, and it usually occurs when the animal is insecure at home. Maybe due to some change in its daily routine, the moving to a completely different area, or the threat of a new domestic pet may trigger such reactions. Frequently this

 

problem comes spontaneously from time to time, and it will only stop when the situation that started it in the first place is dealt with. In some cases, the dog's sterilization might be the best solution. Some dogs suffer anxiety attacks when left home alone, and react by doing their necessities inside. Under such circumstances, there's no need to punish or yell at the animal, since this might only enlarge the problem and make it repetitive. Such a conduct problem may have some deep roots in the animal, and it may be advisable to seek professional help. Persistent incontinence, whether intestinal or from the bladder, may be a symptom of some physical disorder, especially in older dogs. A diarrhea attack also makes the dog defecate inside the house, and in this sort of scenario, the veterinarian may help. 

Teaching your dog not to defecate inside the house

 

  • Learn to recognize its gestures. Many start walking in circles and smell all around them.
  • Don't carry the dog outside, make sure it goes by its own means outside, but with you by its side.
  • When you see your dog about to defecate in the proper place, encourage him with phrases such as: "good, there's good!"  or "do it now!", or some like these.
  • Congratulate verbally or with a treat every time your pet defecates or urinates in the appropriate place.
  • Never punish your dog's "error" when defecating.  This will only lead to fear in your animal.
  • Leave the puppy locked in his sleeping box, until it is capable of controlling its sphincters all night long.
