My dog recently started going potty in his crate and can't seem to hold it no matter how often I take him out. Is this a training problem?
Full Question:
Hello Ed,I have a 3 year old Pitt/Shar Pei that I rescued about 8 months ago. About 4 days ago I was taking him out of his crate and before I could put the leash on him he urinated. He did that through out the whole day no matter how many times I took him out. After doing that for two days he did not go in the crate but went as soon as he got out of the it. Then the day after he goes when we are at the front door. I don't know why he just started it or how to retrain the habit any help will be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Frank
Cindy's Answer:
I’d first get him checked over by a vet to make sure he doesn’t have a urinary tract infection. If you have had him for 8 months and this is a recent change, then have him checked over for a medical problem before worrying about training.
Let me know what you find out. If he checks out ok, then we can figure out a plan for retraining the behavior.
