Hey Guys, I thought that maybe I could get some help with my dog too on this weeing inside thing. I have two dogs, a male and a female. The male is 8 and the female is 2. I would tell the breed, but am afraid I will get some negative comments. Both dogs are inside during the night and come in occassionally during the day and are definitely inside when it is really hot outside.

Anyways! For as long as I remember the male dog has been weeing inside. I've only been with DP for 3 yrs but I know before I met him, his dog was still weeing inside. This may have something to do with when DP was living with is brother and they had two male dogs that did not get along, so one was inside and the other outside and they would get swapped during the day. This is really gross to say but the dogs used to go to wee inside - I NEVER liked going to that house at the beginning of our relationship! LOL

About a month after DP and I met, we moved in to our own home and I think 2 wks after that we got my girl at 6wks of age. I think things at the beginning were good where DP's dog wouldnt wee inside. I dont know when it started but it became a frequent thing where he would wee inside even tho the back door was open for him. He would wee on anything - walls, bin, couch etc. And no matter how many times we told him that inside was not for weeing, he just wouldnt listen.

I must admit that I lose my temper at him and I yell at him and I used to give him a good smack. But that never got him to change, so I stopped it. A few weeks back I had enough of him weeing inside so I made him sleep outside, About a week after putting him outside, he decided to run away! Luckily he ran to our old rental house where a friend is living so the friend brought him back home.

I know that punishment is not the answer, that I will need to train him to go do a wee outside. He does know this, he is a smart dog but he seems to do it just to get back at us for something?? I dont know what to do anymore, I was thinking of maybe buying a spray to spray on his 'hot' spots but he will just find a different place to wee.

Has anyone got any suggestions?! I really would like to get this sorted before our daughter arrives, I just dont know what to do anymore!!

Sorry for the long post too.
