A Simple Way To Stop Your Dog From Peeing In the House That Works

Do you feel like you’ve tried everything to get your adult dog to quit peeing in the house?

I know you are busy. And it seems like your dog should have clearly gotten the message by now, but there’s habit and there’s enzymes….

Do you feel like this re-training your dog peeing in the house issue seems to get away from you?

✔️ It's embarrassing to have other people come to your house.

✔️ You’re sick and tired of listening to the a family member go off about it.

✔️ It causes you to be mad at the dog you love so much.

✔️ It’s driving you nuts.

Here’s the thing… DON’T MAKE IT TOO HARD.

There is a mistake that 99% of people make I’m going to tell you about 

even though you do make a solid attempt at the steps you’ve been told over and over in your attempts at re-training your dog not to pee in the house.

YOU CAN get your dog to stop peeing in the house and it’s really not that hard.

There is indeed a secret to it.

The trouble is most people don’t follow a formula that works because they think it’s going to be hard. You have this idea in your head that its not nice to your dog. Or that it’s not going to work before you start. Or you’ve tried everything already and it hasn’t worked.

I’m here to tell you that I’ve been training dogs professionally for over 23 years and these simple steps to retraining your dog not to pee in the house work and you can do them easily. And your dog won’t be mad at you!

I’m also here to tell you that you MUST pay attention to the one thing most people don’t do and it has to do with clean up. But we’ll talk about that in a minute.

Here’s What To Do To Stop Your Dog From Peeing in the House

1️⃣ Take your dog out to your chosen pee spot OFTEN on a leash.

Dogs think and learn in pictures. Show your dog where to go repetitively. Take your dog out:

• First thing in the morning

• Last thing before you go to bed

• Every time you come home

• Every time you leave

• Every couple of hours when you are home in the re-training or puppy phase

2️⃣ During potty re-training – do not leave your dog out and about in the house unattended.

Ok, so this is the one people freak on! Yes, crate your dog when you are gone or not paying attention to them.  *Note: this is for a short period of time if you just follow this formula.

It’s just like a baby crib and let’s face it, you wouldn’t leave a baby or small child to roam around without getting into something they shouldn’t if you weren’t watching would you?

With consistent repetition and a solid foundation for success, your dog will master potty training. This groundwork allows them to roam freely in your home without accidents once it has become a solid habit to go outside.

3️⃣ Make a big flippin deal with treats, petting praise or both when your dog goes in the right place.

No further explanation needed here. We all look for recognition. Your dog totally digs it. Encourage the behavior when your dog does the right thing.

The mistake 99% of people make in these 3 simple but effective potty training tips to ruin it all.

Cleaning up the mistakes incorrectly.

Seriously. You can do the above steps to a tee and still have your dog peeing in the house if you don’t clean up past mistake correctly.

It is a big secret and it is also frustrating because I swear dog trainers create job security by not including this most important factor in re-training your dog not to pee in the house.

Just so you know, I’m not a product person. Really. I think most of the things that we get out of life with ourselves and with our dogs, comes down to what we DO, not something we buy.

However, several years ago when I was training search dogs for scent, I learned this secret and it made me look like an absolute rock star whenever someone called me to help them with potty training of any kind.

Dog pee leaves an enzyme that marks the spot as “the dog bathroom”

Ever deal with your dog stopping at every bush, tree or post to sniff? And often times your dog pees there too, even if it’s only a couple of drops?

They are smelling dog pee! I know, gross… The enzymes in urine are a sure fire way to get your dog’s attention. And it calls LOUDLY to dogs. "PEE HERE!"

Until you remove that enzyme from your house, good luck with stopping your dog from peeing there again.

Here’s the deal… after 23 years of testing I don’t use just any dog pee cleaning product. In fact there is one that sold in most big box pet stores that is the worst thing ever…. it actually has the word “miracle” in it. It’s a ploy I swear to get you to keep buying it for years.

It doesn’t work!

Here are two products that work. Note one of these I get a small affiliate commission for, but honestly that is not why I’m recommending either of these. I only recommend things that I KNOW work!

Urine Out not only removes the enzymes but it can get old stains (even red wine) out!

Stop adding cleaners or liquid that cover up the smell and get Urine Out which in fact removes the enzyme, the stain, and the silent announcement to your dog that says, “The dog bathroom is here!”

Skouts Honor is a quick clean up and something to have on hand just because you have a dog.
