Picked up my male Purebred GSD
One minute he is a good listener , obedient, than he is so defiant today he looked straight at me and urinated while looking right at me.
Have tons of questions would appreciate any, all help
He just doesn't understand. He's not defiant. You haven't taught him anything yet and they don't come out of their momma knowing how to do anything other than be a dog.
He's obviously not housebroken. So what did you do while he was peeing right in front of you? You should have made a loud noise to startle him so he stopped and taken him outside. Once he peed outside, you should have rewarded and praised him.
Don't be angry with him. Don't think he's defiant. He just doesn't know and at his age he doesn't have the bladder capacity or control to hold it for long. So my guess is you probably didn't take him out on a regular schedule?
Until I see a consistent indication of them going to the door I take them out
1. Right after eating or drinking.
2. About 10-15 minutes into play. They start playing and it activates their need to go. But they are playing so they will do things like suddenly stop and pee in front of you.
3. Roughly every 2 -3 hours when I'm home.
4. REWARD and PLAY with him when he goes outside. Make sure he understands he did right!
If this behavior continues and you have a hard time housebreaking him, then take him to the vet with a urine sample for a UTI. Puppies often get them.
