Dog Problems :D

[Cyfr]

I have a dog thats about nine.
Now we have a cat flap which gos into our back garden and she knows how to use it. And usualy does use it, but sometimes she will just pee or crap on the floor in the kitchen or on the carpet

How can I get her to stop? I don't understand why she will go outside sometimes then do it inside the next

 

[caLLous]

Build a large electrified pen in the garden, put a couple of thousand volts through it, then put her inside the pen!*

*WARNING: Do NOT do this!

 

[L_Plates]

rub the dogs nose in whatever they leave for you.
Then they know they did wrong.

 

[caLLous]

I'd hate to see how you treat young children that shit themselves occasionally... :|

 

[L_Plates]

trust me it works !

 

[Cyfr]

Or not, been doing that for months

Dog is getting senile, kennel + outdoors + dog = win

 

[Cyfr]

Im sure the dog would knock the back door down trying to get in , tis really not an option

Get rid of it and buy a cat, you know it makes sense.

You don't need a dog if you don't want to have the animal around you.. imo.

It might be some attention disorder thing. Pets 'protest' crap sometimes if they don't get enough attention.
[I am not implying that you don't treat your dog well \disclaimer]

 

[Clowneh!]

Hmmm... I gotta try that protest crap thing

 

[S-Gray]

Dont you already do that on the forums anyway Clowneh?

Not working so far for you

To show a dog who's boss you have to shag it !

infidel dogs rule and you know it
As to your question Cyfr did she when she was younger do her stuff outside? Caus if she did you can give up, she is old.
My first dog only survived till she was 9 and truth be told I wouldn;t mind seeing her even if she peed in the kitchen.

My parents old cat pisses in the kitchen, generally 1 step from the door. When rumbling for late nite snackage thinking of throttling her comes into my mind when the light comes on after my foot is soaked.

Dogs are wonderful for their forgiving nature. The loyalty they show you is second to none, and no matter what they'll always be there.

My old dog used to crap all over the house and I used to have to clear it up (back when I was about 13) but I loved her to the ends of the earth and she returned that same devotion.

If you want a friend who will never ever ever judge you, get a dog.

I want to be your dog, Jup-eh.

As some people have already said Dogs are indeed better than cats, in fact the comparison is really unfair its like comparing a human being against a crab.

A Cat just does the same things day in day out, if you are standing up it rubs around your legs in a figure-of-8 if your sitting down it will jump on your lap or disappear and if you don't see it then its probably tearing a small animal apart or shitting in the neighbours garden.

It only looks out for itself, if your upset it won't come over to offer comfort it will come over cos its hungry, a dog sees your upset and will come over to be of some comfort and if you aren't stroking then they will sit and wait.

Dogs > Badgers > Plankton > Mosquitoes > Cats

Erm NO!! Don't do this.

A treat for the doggy when shes good and a stern telling off when she isn't. Although if the dog is 9 you dont stnad much chance. One of our dogs has started weeing inside and shes 12, she has never done it before, I put it down to the cold and her not wanting to go outside as she has a bad leg and the cold bothers her.

heh cant tell you havn't had many cats in your life.

Cats do come to you when you need comfort. You only have to shout my cats name and they come running and sit on your lap, or curl up with you in bed . Not so much luck with the family dog. "Sally" thought there was a pecking order in the house where my parents attention was concerned.

Clare>Robert>Tim>"Sally">me>Kate

She growled etc at me and my younger sister if we gave my dad a hug

I don't believe that one animal is better but it is dependent on personal preference. For me I have to have cats, they are funny, full of personality and have so much to give. I am sure you dog lovers feel the same

"On Topic"

If your dog used to behave herself then as has already been said she possibly is just getting a bit old. I don't feel the answer is shoving the dogs nose in its own excrement, however treats when she is good is a good idea.

get a cat. or better, get two cats.

My dog used to do the same thing.

He hasn't done it since he got put down.






Dad used to sneak him left overs from meals as a treat, which would make the dog explode in many vile ways. Once he stopped being fed spicy remnants, he stopped firing poo napalm everywhere. Cats still poo and piss everywhere though. It's just a side effect of pets becoming geriatric. I think it's a combination of not wanting to go out in the cold, not realising what your body is telling you until it's flagged as urgent, and also if the smell remains even marginally from prior indiscretions, then that's giving the thumbs up marking that area as a pooing/pissing ground.


I joke about my dog being put down, and he was a rank smelling, borderline retarded, camp excuse for a dog (the only commands he ever mastered were "sit" "cuddles" "lips" - a trick where he smeared his face against a window in order to be let in, and "be clean" - a request for him to go outside and poop, and he never learnt to cock his leg, and the only time he even vaguely paid attention to a female dog he simply watched her from a distance and air humped pitifully), but it did make me well sad. He wasn't put down for the explosive arse, he developed senile dementia, went deaf and then had a couple strokes (and not of the good, this is how you fuss your pet kind). 14 years isn't bad for a golden retriever though. The vet was still trying to persuade my mum to keep him going, but it wasn't fair. Think vets sometimes see ill pets as a cash cow.

Christmas won't be the same without the smell of mankey dog drifting through the room while you're trying to eat, and getting dog dribble all over your clothes just before you go out.
