Any helpful hits on what I need to do to get my 5 month old lab/collie
mix to stop having accidents in the house? I ordered some odor eliminator from www.pbgone.com - that's what the vet recommended I use. Does she really have accidents from smelling her previous ones? |

I ordered some odor eliminator from www.pbgone.com - that's what the vet recommended I use. Does she really have accidents from smelling her previous ones? I have heard that this is often the case, but I did not use anything special for my dog Muttley, who was probably about 2 years old at the time, and rescued from the streets. I think he was having "accidents" in the house because I had a cat, and he was marking territory or sending some other canine message. I would just show him the mess, letting him know I was displeased, and then put him outside for a while. He would always have these "accidents" in different places in the house, while I was not present, so I had to keep him confined to a room I was in, or on a leash. I would also keep him tethered outside when I had to leave the house, but on one occasion he really seemed to communicate to me that he wanted to stay inside. I think at that point he had bonded with me sufficiently and recognized the house as "our den", even though the cat was still around and he would chase her into hiding. I think the critical issue was his feeling of trust and ownership of his living space. He did have one true "accident" when I had just fed him and then left him for an extended time, so when I came home he had left a small puddle and some poop just inside the door. He seemed apologetic, and I just took him outside where he really let loose, so I think he just could not hold it. I just cleaned it up with some detergent and bleach, not anything special. But most "accidents" really aren't. Paul and Muttley |

Didn't notice the multiple posts, and didn't bother checking the link. So I guess my response was not what he wanted. Paul and Muttley |
