Bulldog housebreaking/ constant chewing

19 16:17:21

Question
I have a 5 month old female English bulldog, Mable. She pees all over the house, I need some help. She knows she is suppose to go outside, because when i bring her out thats the first thing she does. I have to bring her out every 30-45 minutes or else she will pee. Even when i do that , she still sneaks pees. She will jump up on the couch and furniture and pee on it. I have own other dogs and have never had such a problem housebreaking any of them. She also still chews everything, couches, my wifes leg. I have plenty of toys for her and spoil her rotten. Any suggestions?

Answer
Ok Justin, I sure do get the picture!  YOUR gals may need some cranberry supplements and also girl panties.  Since you are having such a hard time with her the female brief may be needed if you are going to give her run of the house.
Also, it is hard to teach them NOT to bite on things when they do have run of the house....
Bullies are stubborn to train.

Please order her some - ( here is an example )
Dog Diapers; Female Pet Diaper

Female doggie pampers that are great for controlling urination around the house... for puppies or dogs that aren't quite 100% housebroken or great when a female is in heat.
I buy the femanine pads for Humans and place this in the panties.  The pads they make for dogs are too expensive...
*** Everytime she comes in the house - you put this on her - at night you may want to take it off - because she may eat it off?


Let's get her onto some Cranberry for her urinary system-
It will help is she has any crystals or bacteria brewing...

Cranberry choices: see here:

NEXT - let's get some Cranberry Plus into this kid:  

This is from Revival Animal health - mixed into the dog food each day...

If you would rather take a pill form- see here:

Now - as for the bite and chews?  If you can limit her area of operation, that will help you.  Also, teach her bite inhibition. She needs to learn when it is ok to bite and play and when it HURTS and is too much.....
Also, a KONG with some Frozen peanut butter  is nice for a bullie that is chewing..
