house training question. Please Help!!
I am new to the group and have a question regarding house training.
Every time I leave the room and put up the gate, my dog immediately urinates on the floor right in front of the gate. Even if he has just been outside, he will do this. He is crate trained and will not this when he is put in his crate. Is it possible that he is being vindictive for being left in the room alone? Other than leaving him in his crate all the time, is there a way to correct this? Please offer any suggestions, for we are at our wit's end with this problem. Mary |

No guarantee that this book will solve your problem but it is worth a
try (before giving up on your dog) - "Eliminate on Command" by Dr. M. L. Smith. Can find it on halfbay.com or probably online bookstores. The 7-day PPC (poop & piddle on command) process has 4 prerequisites: (1) Puppy should be more than 6 weeks of age when you begin to teach PPC; (2) The dog must have places to go that he understands are "OK" and he should be eliminating regularly in those places; (3) It must be "OK" for the dog for you to be in the area with him during his elimination; (4) The act of elimination can take place only if there is some urine in his bladder or feces in his bowel. I haven't used this book yet but read it and seems to make sense. It was highly recommended by professional dog trainer.
