Cage

How can I stop my two year old dog from peeing in his cage?

I have two year old Chihuahua, and he is always peeing in his cage. I also have another dog but she never pees in her cage.

  1. That's weird because most dogs do not do this. I would guess he may have a bladder problem or something like that. Call a Vet.
  2. Let your Chihuahua go to the bathroom before you put him/her in their cage. I did that with my dogs becuase they went ALOT in their cage. So, I didnt clean it for a little while and made them put up with it until they learned their lesson. After a few days, they stopped.
  3. A cage helps you handle peeing. A dog will do all it can to avoid peeing in its' bed , but if it's in too long, it has no choice. ........................... Training a dog . of any age, to go outside is initially very time consuming. that is why so many don't get trained. A dog is a creature of habit. Whatever it does over and over again becomes a habit for the dog. So how do you make going outside a habit? You take it outside every hour until the dog starts showing you in some way that it wants to go outside. How long this takes depends on the dog. I take mine to the same spot outside where he smells the pee. I say ' "hurry up" - or some cue word Now, whenever I say ' Hurry up ", he goes. There may sometimes when dog comes in and pees - especially in the winter_ but you stick to the plan. The plan sometimes fails because owners are in too big a hurry to get inside. Walking fast down a block will also cause a dog to poo/pee.
  4. no dogs like to pee where they have to lay down, if the cage is too big, and by too big I mean large enough for it to walk away from where it has to lay, it will go in the nearest corner, so you have to make the area only big enough for it to turn around and lay down thats IT no larger... but please dont leave it too long with out bringing it out...
