I wonder if he has some sort of infection or problem down there....I ask

because I recall a dog I rescued having peeing problems very badly and I took

her into the vet to get spayed and it turned out her uterus was the size of

a football! (this was a very small dog)

Is the dog fixed? That is the main way to cut down on marking territory by

peeing. You may be best off using a crate and confining him to non carpeted

floored rooms for the time being.

Penny, is your dog crate trained? If he is, put him in the crate while you are

gone. We did this with our dog when she was a puppy and untrustworthy. She

loved her crate and would get upset if Jake crawled into it. If this doesn't

work, try putting her in one room. That way, he is limited as to where he can

damage. If you have a room without carpet, even better. Use vinegar to

eliminate the smell. Also, if you can catch the dog in the act, squirt him with

a water/vinegar mixture. Dogs hate vinegar. Good luck.

Hey Penny, could you pick me up about 20 cans of that stuff while youre

out???LOL

Yep-

He is neutered. Been that way forever. (well, not forever, lol)

He IS getting old though, so I'm not sure.

Confining him to a room might be the answer

>>>You may not believe this, but there are some dogs that have an anxiety

disorder and pee when left alone.<<<<

----Oh I DO believe this. I'm the one with the pic on the site of the

" neurotic dog "

We do have a crate. It's a travel crate. I just don't know how well it

would work. He howls endlessly when we leave and I'm not sure WHAT would

happen if we crated him.

Thanks for the suggestions......

Penny,

Have you had him checked for a urinary tract infection? Also, has something

been changed that may have him upset? Also, if it's a large dog, senility

could also be causing it, especially at that age. I'd start with the urine

check though.
