jimster68 123 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 im not sure were your dogs box is ? in the house or in the run ? sometimes dogs piss in their bed then lie on it when they are cold (the piss feels warm). or as stated as above some dogs just have bad habits ,as surley no animal likes to lay in its own piss . so the only thing i can suggest is to put a piece of plyboard above the dogs bed then lower it so your dog has only just enough room to get in and out of its bed ,most dogs have to squat or cock thier leg to have a piss ,by restricting the amount of room the dog has above its head it should not be able to get comfortable enough to have a piss.after a few week hopefully you will have broken the dogs bad habit and you should be able to remove the plyboard alltogeather. ive done this with greyhounds in the past and its worked for me . hope this helps ...........jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 6,173 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Make sure the run is roofed over: some dogs don't want to go out in the cold or rain at night to pee. Also, try putting a good handful of straw at the far end of the run: what bedding is the dog on? If you use straw, try something else and put a handful of pee soaked straw in the run so he gets the right idea. Has he been told off for peeing anywhere? If so, could maybe be peeing in his bed as worried to go elsewhere. Just some points to consider. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
obi2 239 Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 No iv never told him off, he wouldn't understand what the row was for I don't think as its a natural thing. The kennel is roofed over and inside he has his box which has a lid and windbreaker partition for draughts. His bedding is shredder paper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lawrence 657 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 sometimes all that is needed is a change of bedding material,give the kennel a good clean and try him on straw Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paulus 26 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 pick up some citronella from a heath food shop, mix with water in a spray bottle and spray the box and bedding, it worked on one of mine, however i had an old bitch that did it all her life.

Peter Leemooch 160 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 give the dog no bedding at all for a few nights he won't come to any harm if he still does it you got problems lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
