I’d like to have an answer for our situation.
I often see answers of “make sure to let the dogs out enough, for a long enough duration“, but we usually let the dogs out in the backyard, or take them for a walk, every couple of hours, and at least 20 minutes each.
PLENTY of time for them to empty their bladders.
Yet males AND females, always come back in the house and pee. Several spots, throughout the day.
It’s causing lots of tension in the house and stress.
I understand that the OCCASIONAL dog will pee as it’s a new place. Usually once. Maybe twice.
But dogs we have watched several times before, will pee all the time, everywhere.
We are very caring and loving. We do not yell at them. We don’t do anything that scares them.
We clean old pee spots up with enzyme remover and they still smell the old spots, as well as create new spots.
We don’t want to stop pet-sitting. As we need the income and we love animals. But this makes absolutely no sense to us that we let them out plenty, and they are familiar with our house, especially if they are repeat clients, yet they still Pee everywhere. Sometimes, the more we watch them, the more it seems they pee.
