Rescue Dog with housebreaking problems....

Question
-------------------------


Hi Hilary,

 I do think this dog has a background with abuse.  As for this being a nerves peeing issue, I think it has to be more, as it happens when no one is speaking to the dog too.  This was an incident that I was just told of today......  Owner had carpets cleaned, as she worried there might be a smell that was making dog wet on carpet.  Owner was standing in bedroom getting her son out of bed.....dog walked in and just wet with out even having been spoken too.....  I know the owner wants to work with and keep this dog, but she is starting to feel there's no hope.  She's had the dog about 5 weeks now....

Thanks for the input you've given!
Carolyn


Answer
Hi Carolyn...just a thought.  Has the dog been checked for a urinary tract infection?
Other than a behavioral problem, that's all I can think of.  I am going to look into this more and get back to you with any information I may find!
Hang in there and have a great weekend!
