Take your dog outside frequently, especially after eating, drinking, or waking up. Consistency helps them understand when it’s time to go outside.
Choose a specific area in your yard for your dog to use as their bathroom. This helps them associate that spot with relieving themselves.
Every time your dog pees outside, offer praise and a treat. Positive reinforcement teaches them that going outdoors is a good behavior.
To avoid accidents during the night, limit your dog’s water intake a few hours before bedtime, but make sure they’re still hydrated during the day.
Keep a close eye on your dog when they’re inside. If you catch them starting to squat, quickly take them outside to finish their business.
If your dog pees indoors, clean the area thoroughly with an enzymatic cleaner to remove any scent markers. This will prevent them from returning to the same spot.
Sometimes, dogs pee indoors due to stress or anxiety. Try to identify any triggers and address them, whether it’s separation anxiety or loud noises.
