How to stop a pomeranian from peeing in the house
Reasons Of Pomeranian Peeing In The House🏡
To stop your Pomeranian from peeing in the house you must know the underlying cause of the behavior. Below are some potential causes:
Medical Issues⏳
One of the main causes of excessive urination is urinary tract infection. Other diseases such as bladder stones or Addison’s, leptospirosis can also be the cause. That’s why you should consult with the vet so they can diagnose any health problem.
Behavioral Causes⚽😽
Behavior can also cause urination in inappropriate spaces. They might urinate due to marking their territory or separation anxiety can also cause indoor accidents.
Change In Routine👍
Sometimes sudden changes in routine or diet can also cause peeing in the house. Sudden change in daily activities and diet can lead to stress or digestive issues.
Insufficient Training🦮
Proper training is essential from an early age to teach your loving pooch where they must pee. Insufficient training can lead them to pee in the house.
No Enough Potty Break🐕🦺
If you will not give them a potty break or they may not go outside often enough. Then they can pee anywhere when they don’t control their pee, it especially happens in Pomeranian Puppies because their small bladder can not control the pee any more.
Age-Related Incontinence🐱
Older dogs, especially females who have spayed can develop urinary sphincter mechanism incompetence (USMI) that can affect the bladder control.
Fear & Anxiety😽
Sometimes fear and anxiety can cause peeing in the house. New pets, loud noises, storms or new visitors can cause nervousness for dogs and they show such behavior.
Difference Between Urine Marking or Submissive Urination😺
Before knowing about how to stop a Pomeranian from peeing in the house you have to know about the difference between urine marking and submissive marking.
Urine Marking😽
Urine marking is included in the behavior of dogs. To communicate with other dogs they pee in small amounts on objects. Marking inside the house can be due to the need to make the space more familiar or can be a sign of stress and anxiety due to a new pet and loss of owner. Unneutered male dogs are prone to frequent markers, but unneutered dogs and females are also marked.
Submissive Urination🐕
On the other hand submissive urination is a response to feeling scared and this can be seen in submissive body language like lowered ears, avoiding eye contact, or exposing the belly. Some dogs can pee because of punishment, loud noises or voices, or even enthusiastic greetings. Unlike urine marking in which they pee in small amounts, submissive urination often results in large amounts.

Avoid Punishments🦮

Calm The Excitement🐶

So when you arrive home, speak to your dog in a calm manner or wait to greet your dog until they are sitting calmly. When you come from work, take your loving pooch outside as soon as possible for pee or poop.
If you’re having guests take your dog outside before they enter and advise your guest to greet the dog calmly.
