What to do when your dog pees in the room

Dogs mark their territory by urinating. First, familiarize your dog with the home environment, and then train it to urinate in a designated spot. Give your dog treats as rewards when it urinates in the specified location. Focus on rewards and reduce scolding behaviors to avoid causing fear and resistance in your dog, which could exacerbate its random urination.

Reasons for dog peeing in the room

If your dog continues to pee randomly despite repeated warnings, it may be because you haven't used a stern enough tone when scolding it, allowing the dog to perceive its actions as wrong. You can increase punishment methods to make the dog understand that peeing randomly is wrong, such as not giving it treats, not taking it outside to play, or skipping a meal.

Mental state of a dog intentionally peeing

A dog might intentionally pee to attract attention or out of a sense of revenge. It's advised to stop the dog's behavior promptly and avoid using violent training methods. If you're training your dog to pee outside, make sure to take it outside regularly to avoid long-termholding back urine and feces, which can cause serious harm to its urinary and digestive systems.

How to teach a dog not to pee randomly

Spread newspapers or pee pads in the bathroom area. As soon as you notice your dog showing signs of needing to pee, take it to the newspapers or pee pads and let it urinate there. Give it gentle encouragement and pat its head and back when it successfully urinates on the newspaper. This will help the dog associate the behavior with positive reinforcement and encourage it to repeat the action. Gradually reduce the number of pee pads until the dog can urinate at a specific spot.
