Avoid direct eye contact. Look at his back or tail instead.
Never pet the top of his head. Approach from underneath and pet under his chin.
Approach your dog from the side, and never present your full front.
Go to your dog’s level.
When doing this, remember to bend at the knee rather than at the waist. You want to avoid standing over your dog.
Whatever you do, do NOT scold your dog for being timid. You will only make the problem worse!
Trying to comfort your dog and saying, “It’s ok” will only teach your dog that fearful behavior is a good thing
Exercise
A healthy dog is a happy dog, and a tired dog will be too tired to run away. Give your dog a minimum of 30 minutes of vigorous exercise daily.
Remember to exercise the mind! Mental stimulation is just as important as physical stimulation. Take your dog on long walks to places he’s never been before, enroll him in an agility class, teach him tricks, or even play hide and seek.
Using Obedience
Trying to comfort your dog and saying, “It’s ok” will only teach your dog that fearful behavior is a good thing. Instead, use obedience to give your dog something else to do, and to focus his attention back on you.
My name Valerie too ... I love dogs they call me the dog whisper .... Thank you for the information I learned something new I was punishing Tiga for peeing she was so excited to see my son we were lying in the bed which sleep with me every night in my arms or very close by but she started peeing like she wasn't doing anything wrong I started to put her in the cage but it didn't feel right this her second time doing it this just started

I notice after me and my husband have sex the female dog likes to urineate on my pillow and my male young adult dog urinates at the end of our bed🔥😭 we wash our sheets all the time but now I feel like my 5k mattress needs to go! Also I notice they pee when we leave them at home. When it's cold the female lap dog refuses to poop or pee outside. I would wait freezing as she shakes and stares at me. I scream GO PEE! She then goes back into the room Gets on my side of the bed and shits a log! I guess she is upset because it's cold outside?My father says newspaper spanking and crate them! So the girl is 8 years old and the boy puppy is 3 years old. I think I'm too late
I have an almost 6 mo old boxer pup. She is the cutest little thing but I can't get her house broke & now she's started peeing on my bed. I am so frustrated because I have done everything g short of punishing her. I let her out every hour. Sometimes ever 15 to 30 minute due to her urinating so much. I had her treated for a urinary track infection when I first got her a monto ago so I know that's not it. I do have an older, 8 1^2 yr old dog that is completely house trained so I hate crating her or leaving her in the kitchen but I just don't know what else to do at this point.
My daughter and I were poking around on Google for some insight as to why her little gal is fond of the bed. Helpful article, valuable. Gut-busting hillarious comment left by the gentleman, priceless. He's obviously a true dog lover. We laughed so hard for so long picturing his little dog shitting in shoes, and on his pillow. He's still yelling at her to this day I guarantee you. Thanks for laugh, just thanks.
About a year and a half ago I wound up with my daughter's "doxxie". He was house broken and seemed to adjust nicely to being here. We had a Schnauzer at the time and another little " doxxie", his brother. About a week ago, his "daddy"(my son in law) brought my grandaughter down and (Gunner WS so happy to see them) and that's when he started getting on the couch and peed on the arm rest down onto the cushion. And on the other two cushions as well. When this started I was in kitchen, back door open with easy access to outside so no problem going out Instead he got on my couch. Why?
My son was so upset last night to discover his dog that he's had for five years has Peed on his bed. He recently had a relationship break up and partial custody of his daughter the whole family situation is torn apart, I tried to get him to read this site but he would Not,, I explained to him that animals have feelings and reasons for doing things and if he would educate himself on this matter it would help him to help his dog. I know he loves his dog but I know the dog is in getting the care that it needs emotionally and he's gone to many hours in a day to be there for the dog. He has a neighbor that lets her out once a day I do whatever i can.. I suggested he do the same close the door in his bedroom when he's not there. I was there all day yesterday watching my granddaughter and I notice she had a very panicky look to her and was staying very close to my side and the babies side. Last week she growled at the baby I tried To explain to my son why this happens he has to also watch his daughter that she's not poking her in the eye with toys she had a scratched cornea this past week I took her to the vet For treatment. I guess it's time to find her a home that can take her I live in an RV and have two small dogs otherwise I would take her, overwhelmed grandma I love my grand dog also
