HOW TO STOP YOUR ADULT MALE DOG FROM URINE-MARKING INSIDE THE APARTMENT
Tuesday, April 21, 2009
On March 31, 2009, the 1.5-year-old Miniature Schnauzer was neutered. He stayed 10 days at Toa Payoh Vets so that we could condition and train him to pee and poop outdoors as he had vigorously urine-marked the apartment at home. The mother was at a loss as to what to do. So I proposed re-training him to eliminate outdoors by confinement in the crate while not being exercised 3 times/day.
In the meantime, the mother would neutralise all the urine smells at home. At the end of 10 days, the dog would go home but be crated for 1 month while being exercised outdoors 3 times/day as at Toa Payoh Vets.

The mum came today to get the neuter and the microchip certificates to renew his dog licence at the Post Office.
"How's the dog nowadays?" I asked the mum.
"He is doing well and does not pee indoors anymore as he is outdoors 3x/day," the mum said. "I needed to ask where he vomited yesterday and on the day he came home. On the day he came home, the cause could be due to the car ride, but last week he vomited once again."
"Did your daughter bring him downstairs?" I asked.
"No," the mother said. "She's busy at school. The maid did it."
"Most likely the dog had eaten grass or something in the grass outdoors," I guessed. "Ask the maid."
The mother nodded her head.
"He is a lucky dog," I said. "Usually other dogs go outdoors 2x/day or less."
The mum was happy anyway. I continued, "After one month, let the dog wander around the house in between his outings per day and see what happens. If he does not urine-mark inside the apartment, it will be considered a great success."
