Our male keeps urinating inside his kennel (the part where he sleeps in.) And we've asked the vet about it and what she told us didn't work to well. It's getting to be a pain in the butt everytime we go to clean out our his kennel because of the smell and the dampness inside it. It's getting to the point now where we have to let the sun dry it out everytime we clean it. We clean their kennels about every month, sometimes sooner.

I was wondering if anyone has/had the same problem, and what the did/would do. Or any tips to what you think would help.

Thanks a lot!

I had that problem with a female. She changed zip codes

make their sleeping areas just big enough to comfortbly sleep in. if they have too much room, they start to goof around and make messes and tear it up.

That's what the vet told us. She said to do that just until they stopped and it should be "cured." So he did stop and we took the board we had in there, out. But then a month or so later he started again.

*Gets ready to ask a dumb question * So should we have the board in there for ever then?

yep!!!

It is a dominace matter. pee in it yourself on top of the dogs pee, same spot and put its nose on it, then growl, throw the dog on its back hold it by the throat and shake it side to side some. Be the dominate one that owns the house and the dog will submit and not dare pee in YOUR house.

John, this doesn't have anything to do with the size of the butthole does it? I'll never forgive you for that one...
