Pissing in Kennel

FLYWOLF · 10-09-2011, 11:18 AM

Help! my eight week old GSD is being taken out ever hour and ran at night, water stops at 8:00 p.m. and dog goes in kennel about 10:30 p.m. Dog taken out at 1:30 a.m. and dog has already pissed in kennel. When the dog barks, i jump out of bed to take outside to *PEE*. Too late.

Please help.

Thanks,

How about "urinating?"

8 weeks old is very young. going out every hour is good.
you're putting your dog in his kennel at 10:30 p. m. and taking him out
at 1:30 a.m.. that's 3 hours being in the kennel without
being taken out. take him more often. when my pup
was 9 weeks old he was outside every 15 minutes then
every 1/2 hour every hour and so as time passed.
over night he was out every 2 hours. before your dog barks
he's probably giving you a signal that he wants to go
out but you're missing the signal. your pup is barking
at 8 weeks old to go out. that's a smart pup.

Is the kennel too big for him? If he has a lot of room to sleep AND relieving himself without sleeping it in, it's too big.

Isnt the rule of thumb 1 hour per month of age?
Agree on kennel size could be an issue too.
Set clock for right time; take dog out before barks
Believe me it gets better.

Of course he is going to pee.. he is 8 weeks old. Continue potty training him and it will improve in a week or two.

Male or female? Has the pup been checked for a UTI?

I'm beginning to have the same issue as well. He wasn't using the bathroom in his crate when we first got him, then one day I unfortunately had a super long day at work, and he was alone for 8 hours, and went in the crate =(

He doesn't always wake my boyfriend up in the middle of the night to go. That is becoming less frequent. But now that he went in his crate the first time, I guess he thinks its okay. Because since then it has happened several times, like 4-6 probably. I know his crate isn't too big, I almost thought it was a little small at first, but apparently I was wrong, since he is still going to the bathroom in it.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
