every morning when i feed him, he would pee while he eats... ArGh~ even jus now, when i'm already ready to bring him out for a walk, and i say "Kai kai Loh" (meaning going out), AGAin.. he PEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeee! Ahhhhhhhhhhh~ *Note : the pee is in big puddle, when ready to go out and while eating!*
last time he used to pee on the newspaper after eating his food(which is 4 times a day). but now he DUN! he Stores his pee, and pee only 2 times a day, which will be in 2 Big Big Big puddle of pee...
help me pls... i dun want this to cause my family to dislike him..
Don't worry so much ... the urinary system in a pup is still developing and it will take a little time for puppies to learn to properly control their bladder and peeing impulse ...
The most important right now is not to frighten the puppy ... while you learn how to sort out this situation.
Just a few questions ...
(a) How old is your puppy now?
(b) Where does your puppy spend most of its time? Indoor or outdoor? Where does puppy sleep?
(c) Where do you feed the puppy? In the kitchen/back of house?
(d) Who spends the most time with the pup? You? How often and approximately how much time?
(e) Have you actually started formal toilet/potty/housetraining?
he is abt to be 6mths old, he spends most of the time indoors and sleeps in my bedroom. i feed my puppy in the balcony behind the kitchen. i spend more then 12hrs with my puppy per day.. and yes, he is already toilet trained. its only when he gets excited, he will pee anywhere...
"Don't worry so much ... the urinary system in a pup is still developing and it will take a little time for puppies to learn to properly control their bladder and peeing impulse ... " <-- i'm afraid that he will get used to pee when seeing us returning home.. cos my aunt's dog been peeing when seeing her returning for many years.
this morning i did some trick to save some trouble. before i fed him breakfast, i lure him to the newspaper. i have his dry food kept in a container, once i open the cover of the container.. WOAHLA!!! he pee immediately when he smells his food... but at least he pee on the newspaper, save trouble mopping the floor....

You spend 12 hours a day with the pup? ... That's great ... no work or study?
Okay ... if you puppy is toilet trained ... then you are probably facing "submissiveurination" from your pup ... which is not all that uncommon especially in the softer temperament type breeds ... ...
The puppy pees when it meets you, people or as RealityDreamer says ... when its excited ...
Here are some useful sites with suggestions/solutions/training methods:
Caution: Submissiveurination is sign that the puppy is submitting to you and the family ... If you treat or react to this "harshly" or you reprimand the dog physically ... You will simply make the situation worse ... You cannot cure submission by being overtly dominant. Acting aggressive or dominaint to the pup simply results in more submission from the pup!!! ... and even more pee-pee ...
As your pup matures (together with developing urinary system) ... incident of submissive peeing (with proper puppy education) should also reduce in frequency ... and eventually disappear.
Cheers

If there is nothing wrong with your pup's health and you have no choice, you might wish to try this. Caning. It might be heart breaking but that might help your pup to learn, feel a bit scare of you and thereby will listen to you in future. Of course before you cane your pup, you need to bring your pup to his/her urine and let your pup's nose touches his/her urine before scolding (letting him/her knows that he/she had done something wrong) and canning that is not too hard but enough to make him/her cry out. Don't sayang or give food to your pup straight away because you feel sorry. Make sure she/he looks scared of you and let him/her feels lonely for a while. Hopefully your pup will learn after this. Sometimes 2nd time required then furkid will learn.
caning??? i dun think it will be a good idea if the dog is suffering from submissiveurination... i used to beat him when he gets excited and pee on the floor. but, this is making the situation worse... he'll pee more if we beat him. but now that i am using the tactics explain in the above links, he gradually improves... the tactics really works...
urs is somehow a good idea if he is a puppy that u had jus bought home who doesnt know where to pee.. And when i beat him, i dun beat not too hard.. not so hard that can make him cry.. Scold him loudly with a little physical punishment.
*** hkliling ... If a pup is suffering from submissiveurination - it means that the pup is already signaling its submissiveness ...
Hitting an already submissive and nervous pup is NOT going to solve anything ... and will probably the situation WORSE ... Rubbing a dog's nose into it's pee or poop doesn't solve anything either ... All you are going to do is frighten the pup even more!!!
*** captain03 ... Please understand ... regardless of whether its a new pup just brought home or otherwise ... physical or verbal abuse of the pup will not help reduce submissiveurination ... your previous treatment of your pup may have already contributed to your current problems ...
Please read the threads on submissiveurination and follow their advice ...

" <-- er..surchinmy, last time i didnt know abt the seriousness of this problem until i read these links.. he improves very fast now... no more peeing anywhere when gets excited.. er... only ocassionally. haha..
"Rubbing a dog's nose into it's pee or poop doesn't solve anything either" <-- yeah, i agree on that.. sounds a bit er.. haha... lets think in another way, if u rub that on ur dog's nose, hmm... arent u going to clean it away after that? so troublesome.... haha
Glad to hear that things are improving ... ... but once in a while accidents will still happen ... but less and less frequently as the doggie grows older ... ...
