My Ddog did this extensively at his last home and it was really the main reason he was homed with me because they couldn’t take it anymore it was so bad and nothing they could do helped. I’ve chosen to let him have the whole house because he cries constantly if he’s shut downstairs and 99% of the time he is not alone up there and we thought perhaps being barred from a room makes it more likely he will wee when he does get in.
Ddog is lovely. He is 5. He is trained. Healthy. Neutered. He knows the command to go to the toilet. I toilet him quite rigidly morning and night because I know it was a problem before. He will try to get out of going for a wee. He will ‘pretend’ because he doesn’t like it when the grass is wet or the weather is wet so you have to watch him do it
He’s lived with me for 5 months and so far there has been 2 small incidents in my DD’s room and one very small in mine. We attributed those to our own mistakes or other factors - once the cat had been sick on the floor and he weed on it (understandable) and the other 2 times it was raining and he hates rain and perhaps he hadn’t been outside for a while. He isn’t returning to the same spot either. I have a small carpet cleaner and put bicarbonate all over it too
Same as his previous owner downstairs is hard floor and upstairs is carpet. He NEVER urinates on hard flooring only carpet
So I’ve given him the benefit of the doubt.
This morning there is no explanation for him doing a huge wee in my room. It must have been a whole bladder worth! I’m home, I made him go out at 7am - but he didn’t want to go out (I had to carry him!) I saw him squat but I think he did not actually wee . Not raining. Back Door is open etc
Why. Why. Why. Why
I do not want to bar him from rooms. It will just be a repeat of his last home where he was stuck in one room. But now my room stinks (new carpet too) and I think I am doomed and he will just carry on. Why doesn’t he like going outside? If I go back to puppy pads that is just going to encourage him surely?
To make it worse as I was emptying the carpet cleaner I dropped the dirty water all over myself and more of the carpet. So it’s even more piss smelling than before!
