Our dog pee'd and looked at us the same when I was in labour with Leah. Odd!]]> Wed, 23 Feb 2011 16:06:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38109&PID=1273574&title=dog-help#1273574 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38109&PID=1273526&title=dog-help#1273526 Author: minxynzl

Our two boys try to lick too and I should probbaly ease up and let them do some feet licking at least. I wish I culd actually catch Hector marking but I havent yet so I am keeping all dors shut until I do. I miht also go back to puppy basics and take him outsode during day to 'go toilet' so I can rewad that. Man - bringing home 1 baby has given me THREE babies! ;)]]> Wed, 23 Feb 2011 14:58:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38109&PID=1273526&title=dog-help#1273526 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38109&PID=1272562&title=dog-help#1272562 Author: Plushie

Interesting about the licking, he is always licking feet and hands and if i have DS lying on my knee (head out, bum to stomach, you know how you do..) he'll come up and try and lick his face though he always gets shoo'd because thats kind of gross.

Poor wee fellow has taken it all incredibly well considering how outrageously i babied him the last few months.

He knows he's done bad though, he's so apologetic and is slinking around head down trying to tuck his stump between his legs even though i havent yelled at him.

Thanks for the feedback all ]]> Tue, 22 Feb 2011 12:50:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38109&PID=1272562&title=dog-help#1272562 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38109&PID=1272492&title=dog-help#1272492 Author: High9

One of our dogs did this too, and agree with Ginger - pack animal, peeing - marking territory... etc! ]]> Tue, 22 Feb 2011 11:30:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38109&PID=1272492&title=dog-help#1272492 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38109&PID=1272450&title=dog-help#1272450 Author: ginger

Don't forget - dogs are pack animals, and have a very strong sense of their place in the pack. His place in the pack has changed with little warning eg. he hasn't been 'challenged' and been through the process that would happen in a pack, he's jus suddenly another rung down the ladder. It takes them a while to adjust - just be patient. Obviously, don't let them be naughty and watch for any 'challenges' to baby, but try not to push him away too much either - licking is a submissive behaviour for dogs (it's just a bit gross!) so if he's turned away too much, it'll potentially upset the apple cart more. Licking the face (especially near the mouth) is a strong submissive indicator, so maybe just watch your dog with baby, but let him work it out for himself. Peeing for dogs is marking, so that's a more defiant behaviour.

I hope that makes sense We have 2 dogs and went through all of this with them when Cuinn came home, and no doubt will again when the new baby comes into our lives.]]> Tue, 22 Feb 2011 10:53:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38109&PID=1272450&title=dog-help#1272450 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38109&PID=1272424&title=dog-help#1272424 Author: Plushie

Dog wee is easy to get out of the carpet if you have paper towels. Take about 4 of them and fold into a square, put the paper towels on the wee and stand on it as hard as you can occasionally blotting it up and down with your foot. Depending on how much there is you might need to do this a few different times. If you don't feel like standing there put a big heavy book on it (that's what I do ) It comes out perfectly.

No idea why he is doing it, it might be the new baby but it could also be because he didn't want to wee out in the rain. Sounds like my spaniel who's a bit of a priss when it comes to getting wet! ]]> Tue, 22 Feb 2011 09:14:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38109&PID=1272349&title=dog-help#1272349 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38109&PID=1272336&title=dog-help#1272336 Author: Plushie

I have a gorgeous 5 year old male schnauzer who is an obedient gorgeous young man who i baby outrageously and is a bit of a lap dog despite being 18kg.

He's taken the new baby incredibly well, he comes over and sniffles a foot while i'm feeding, or the head if he's lying on my knee but hasnt touched any baby toys and avoids him if he is on the floor.

I've tried to give him as much attention as possible but he has obviously heard 'no, away' a bit more often recently.

ANYWAY, we just got up, i let him outside, i changed baby bum, i let him back inside (its raining and he wanted in) and i started to feed. He came over and licked DS's foot and i told him no, bed.

So he walked over there and started peeing on the floor!

Act of defiance/attention seeking?
Busting to pee?
Sick/bladder infection or similar?

How is the best way to get dog pee out of carpet?
Do they return to the scene of the crime like cats do?]]> Tue, 22 Feb 2011 09:00:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38109&PID=1272336&title=dog-help#1272336
