Puppies



There may be many reasons why your dog may urinate at home or in an undesirable place. One of the most common situations is when puppies go to the toilet at home. It is completely normal for a puppy to go to the toilet at home.




Puppies may not be able to defecate for a long time because the muscular structures at the anus and bladder outlet, called sphincters, are not developed. If you have a puppy and you do not want your house to be full of poop and pee, you need to restrict the area until your dog's muscles develop and he is toilet trained. You can use dog fences to restrict space. It is very important to get a suitable fence according to your dog's breed and size for toilet training.


Is Your Dog an Adult?


One of the most common reasons why an adult dog urinates at home is that it wants to attract the attention of its owner, or it may be doing this as a protest. This situation may also be caused by incorrect or incomplete toilet training given during childhood. If you pay little attention to your dog, do not take him for a walk, do not play with him, adopt a different animal or take care of other dogs, your dog may go to the toilet at home as a protest. Paying a little more attention to your dog may help this situation go away. If your dog stubbornly continues this behavior, it would be best for both your dog and you to get support from a professional trainer.

Older Dogs?


Since the muscles of older dogs weaken over time, they, just like puppies, cannot hold their toilet for a long time and can go to the toilet at home. This is not a very common situation. In such a case, taking your dog to the toilet more often or placing toilet pads in different places in the house to help him defecate will prevent him from defecating at home.

What Other Reasons Could There Be?


If your dog obsessively urinates in the same place at home, this may be because he is instinctively marking his territory. So why do dogs do this? In such a case, observing your dog while he is urinating, immediately intervening and scolding him in a harsh tone may help him stop this behavior. Additionally, cleaning the area where he urinates with special urine odor removal sprays for dogs or using special repellent sprays for dogs may help him stop this behavior.




Unlike all these, your dog may be urinating at home due to a health problem. Your dog can also go to the toilet at home in cases of diseases such as prostate disease in male dogs, abnormalities in the estrogen hormone level of female dogs, urinary tract infections, tumors in the urinary bladder or tumors that put pressure on the bladder, side effects of some medications, and diarrhea. If your dog involuntarily urinates at home or misses the toilet, see your veterinarian as soon as possible.
