unwanted peeing

19 10:53:07

Question
I have an 8 1/2 week old Vizsla pup.  She keeps wanted to pee on her beds, pillows, blankets, and towels.  She does not pee in her crate, nor does she pee on the tile or hardwood flooring.  She knows where her spot is outside and uses it consistently.  But when a new bed or pillow is brought into the house she will play on it for awhile and then out of the blue jump on it and pee.

Marking? Bladder? Age?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Answer
This truly sounds like marking, but that is unusual in a puppy this young. She sounds like she might be pretty dominant. I would get her into obedience classes as soon as her vaccinations are done, and start practicing "Nothing in Life is Free" with her. http://k9deb.com/nilif.htm  I would also start doing "long downs" with her a couple times a week. http://www.volhard.com/general/artbywv.htm#tnw
