Dog Health Questions: Dog training...i need help!?

I got a dog at the begining of the summer, he is now 6 months old. He is a cockapoo, and i love him to death! He is very smart and knows many tricks (sit, paw, lie down, roll over and he rings a bell when he wants to go outside.) He stays home all day alone in the house, and he is housebroken exept for in our basement. OUr basement is completly carpet, and everytime he foes down thier, he pees! Is thier anything i can do to stop him? we spray his pee with some spray that stops him from going back nd we have to keep a gate up during the day. WHat can i do t omake him stop!?

Service Dog Training For the Hunting Dog

Recommended Answer:
HI Dogs don't like to fowl in what they consider their dens. It sounds like he has too much access to the entire house. I would try putting him in an exercise pen on some type of floor covering that is not carpet. (Maybe a bathroom)? And slowly increase his options as he makes fewer or no mistakes.
Sometimes this happens because the dog has too much access to water before bed time, etc. And you may need to give him more opportunities to go outside.
The other issue, is he could have a urinary tract infection, so a trip to the vet might be in consideration.

• Don't let him go down there, unless you are going with him to watch him.

• I suggest you don't allow him to go down there unless he is supervised. If the basement door is open a lot for whatever reason you could put a baby gate on it and we wouldn't be able to go down there.
