My dog keeps peeing on furniture - how do I stop him?

My dog/pup is about 30 weeks old and we toilet trained him fine. He always goes to wee in the garden with the other dogs and when we go out for walks. However, over the past 2 weeks he has started cocking his leg up and peeing on my furniture i.e laundry basket, curtains, bed, cd rack - you name it, he pees on it. How do I stop him???

Interrupt him every time he pees somewhere inappropriate, take him outside immediately %26amp; praise him for peeing in the garden. Do NOT punish him to stop him but you will need to do something to stop him mid-flow (think in terms of gently startling him rather than scaring him.





You may find that castration could help with this problem as it sounds as if he is beginning to mark as he becomes sexually mature. I would recommend discussing it with your vet %26amp; a dog behaviourist to see what the best solution is.
Reply:The previous answer is spot on! But another bit of info - Disinfect/bleach the area where the dog has 'marked his territory' otherwise, if he can still detect his own scent, he will instinctively re-mark it.


You mention other dogs... If you have more than one dog they will need to establish their position in the pack. You, of course, are Top Dog (no offence) the dogs will establish their positions after you. A good way to enforce their status is to consistently feed, fuss let in %26amp; let out the dogs in their prospective orders. This will discourage them from competing for the top spot!


Hope this helps... Good luck Xx
