I have 6 dogs in my home and they are all peeing inside. The biggest problem is a 2 ½ year old Chihuahua that is peeing on the furniture. What can I do?
Full Question:
Hello,I need help desperately! I have a Chihuahua male that is about 2 1/2 yrs old. He is peeing on my furniture all the time and I don't know how to break him. We have scolded him then put him outside but to no avail. Please help!
I have 3 other female that are all spayed they are peeing all over the house too. I have a cocker and basset mix she is 14 yr old and having problems holding it so I think her sent of her mishaps are there for the others. But the male is the one ruining my furniture. PLEASE HELP! I love my dogs but they are pushing my family towards the idea of keeping them outside all the time. They are not use to that and I sure wont put my male or the old woman outside! Help!
Thanks,
Debb

You have a dog pack. Unless you start using dog crates you are not going to stop this. I have an excellent article on how to house train dogs. It makes no difference if the dog is 2 ½ years old or 8 weeks old. Piss is still piss and if you want to stop this dog you have to go back to basics. You can find the information in my list of training articles at http://leerburg.com/articles.htm.
You also need to read the article on dominant dogs.
Bottom line is you should find new homes for some of these dogs. To allow this many dogs to run loose in a home is not normal.
