Standard Dachshund Forum:
PLEASE read-in need of help

Our Dachshund is about 1 year, a little more, and he has a problem; he has a bladder control problem. Well, he usually can hold himself to go to the bathroom, but for awhile he would pee when strangers pet him, or just anyone who scared him. Hell go around the house and pee randomly, even if we just let him out. He could be "marking" his territory, or is it a problem. We brought him to the vet, not necessarily for that problem, but they couldnt tell what was wrong. Would neutering him do anything? Please help me. My parents might get rid of him if he continues with this habit. Anything, advice, anything. PLEASE email me at venius1234@aol.com, subject: Dachshund

Thanks

Hi I have a 6 month old male and he does the same thing whe you go to pick him up or pet him he pees I think it because ther excited and my dog left his leg to there marking terrortory.Getting him fix will help you somewhat but some displin to will help.Im getting mine fix so he stops his bad habbits also.

Doxies will have a habit at times when they are excited to do this. THe best thing to do is consistency.

as soon as your pup wakes up or soon after he eats take him out and praise him highly after he goes to the bathroom . make sure when you take him out(not put him out)that you do not play with him till after he does his business. He is out there to do a job and any interuption will get his mind off of it .

good luck

Amazing isnt it. Males.....

A young dog will do this when they are excited or scared. Usually you can tell which. From about the age of six months hormones do funny things to your little boy.

This increases for a while and then gradually tapers off. If however you have a bitch around or even someone he thinks is for him (people as well) he may continue. If you are not breeding with him my advice is to desex him

and let him enjoy being a pet. He wont notice the difference. This of course is your choice. Good luck from Australia..........
