what should i do if the dog is not house trained?

The dog may be perfectly house trained in THEIR home, but that's never a guarantee that they will not pee or poop in YOUR home. Keeping the dog in the kitchen is your best course of action or crate them, best of luck

I personally charge extra for a dog that is not house broken but if you took a dog in with a pre existing condition then you should have known the side effects of it. You could just take him out constantly, maybe give him a diaper and keep a bucket and mop handy!

Hello Tania,

I also agree with Walt. The dog could be house trained but when in a different environment accidents can happen. The owner should have definitely mentioned to you previously that their dog was having medical issues simply by contacting you when they found out. This situation is unfortunate but you can make the best out of it. Look at the positive side like Deb A. mentioned in their post. By the time the owner come back the UTI could be treated and the owner would be delighted! Short walks could definitely help the problem.

I hope all goes well! Take care.

The dog is scared, nervous and sick. The person should have mentioned beforehand that the dog is sick.

Agree with Walt. And one of my dog's friends (who had visited before and not had indoor accidents) was diagnosed with UTI day previous to arrival. I made sure all meds taken on time, took lots of short walks, and kept in a room with easily cleaned floor. By the time he left, UTI was gone, owners were delighted. So, this elimination elsewhere may cease when he's recovered from the infection and if your rover returns again, this behavior may not repeat when he's healthy.
