Any suggestions. Thanks. NadineMarch 03, 2010 - 16:23Subject: Pupping toilet trainingI have 2 grown up male dogs and a bitch puppy who is nearly 5 months old.At first we used a training cage and she was fantastic, as she started to get bigger we took away the cage and within days she was asking to go out and I would get up a couple of times in the night to let her out we were able to go out for a few hours without any accidents.

However she is peeing left right and centre now. We have gone back to basics and now she is able to out she gets walked twice a day. The thought of this going on much longer is getting me down.

Please help! MarMarch 02, 2010 - 05:30Subject: Neighbors dogs marking our lawn for peeingLive in a townhouse complex with very small front lawns. Many neighborhood dogs.

Dogs have marked our lawn as place to pee. We get many burned areas. CrabaMarch 02, 2010 - 02:54Subject: 2 small dogsWe have a 3 yr old female mini schnauzer and a 5 yr old neutered mini pincher.

They are both taken out a lot during the day (at least once an hour) and night as we are smokers and only smoke outside. I am constantly cleaning up pee and poop in only the laundry room and my daughter's bedroom. This happens during the night as I wake up to it every morning.

Being as they are already 3 and 5, is it too late to put them in a crate at night? Can they go in the same crate, or do they have to be seperated? Is there any other solutions?

I hope to get this solved so that we can keep them as part of our family! RoxanneMarch 01, 2010 - 01:27Subject: my catA week ago I just adopted a 1 and a half year male persian and the second night he peed on my sofa and on the floor, but now he is peeing in the litter box. The problem is that he is pooping on the floor everyday sometimes twice a day.

I put the litter in the place where he is pooping because everytime it is the same place but the problem still remains. I also put his poop in the litter instead of throwing it away, and washed the place where he was pooping with bleach, so I will destroy the smell but it didn't work. Pls help me to solve this problemKaylaFebruary 28, 2010 - 05:04Subject: trouble with femal dachshund peeing on my carpetsI am having trouble with female dachshund peeing on my carpets.

I got here when she was 6 months old from a family that couldnt keep her bc they didn't have time for her. They said that the kept her in a kennel most of the time.In the past month I have gotten her fixed but this hasnt helped with the peeing problem. I let her outside many times during the day and she pees outside.

But not even 10 min. After she comes inside she pees on my floor. I have stream cleaned my floor and everytimes I find a spot where she pees I clean it up right away.

I have tried putting down pads where she pees. But the problem is she never pees in the same spot and she won't use the pads either. She also pees on the carpet when I am gone and ive tried keneling her when i'm gone, but I hate to lock her up all day.

Kenneling her still doesn't help with her peeing on my floor while im there. I just don't know what to do anymore and now my other dog who is a male dachshund has started peeing my my floor too. I know he is just trying to cover up her pee scent but this has become a huge problem and I need help!

Please if any one has suggestions please let me know I am going to try the shaking the bottle with coins but I have tried something like this and it didn't work. Sources: http://www.catsofaustralia.com/pet-pee-poop-problems.php .

First thing would be to take the cat to the vet - to rule out a urinary tract infection. First thing would be to take the cat to the vet - to rule out a urinary tract infection. Once that is hopefully out of the way, try changing the type of litter, location of the litter box...Read the article below for a more detailed examination of the problem:thedailycat.com/Behavior/cat_litter_box_... Litter Box Problems EliminatedBy Natalia Macrynikola Cat Litter Box Problems EliminatedWhen Pete Roberts’ cat Tony began to relieve himself while standing in the litter box, the Brooklyn, N.Y., resident was appalled.

“We didn’t know what was wrong, but we had to do damage control fast,” he says. At a loss as to why Tony developed this annoying habit, which allowed him to spray over the top of his litter box, Roberts and his wife had to get creative. “We bought one of those litter boxes with a lid and made a ‘hinge’ inside with packaging tape,” says Roberts.

This way, when Tony aimed higher than his 4-inch litter box, the only thing wet was the tape in the back of the box. Countless other cat owners find themselves equally challenged by their pets’ sudden elimination mishaps. Perhaps even your own feline falls into that bathroom hit-or-miss group.

Despite your feline’s mysterious nature, there are ways to discover why kitty is giving you grief, as well as steps you can take to solve common litter box problems. Out-of-the-box ThinkingReaders of The Daily Cat have posted numerous questions on this very subject. For example, several owners are concerned because their feline friend pees all over expensive rugs and precious furniture.

We asked animal behaviorist Suzanne Hetts, Ph.D. , of Animal Behavior Associates Inc. In Littleton, Colo.

, to shed some light on the confusion. “Medical problems must always be ruled out first,” says Dr. Hetts, who explains that health issues are the most common causes for changes in elimination habits. If your cat has a painful medical condition, such as a urinary tract infection, it may associate the litter box with pain.

Other conditions, such as diabetes, can increase urination. Because cats don’t always act sick when they are feeling unwell, litter box avoidance may be your best sign of a health concern. Therefore, a good first step is to take your pet to your local veterinarian.

If kitty passes the medical exam with flying colors, plenty of other reasons could be causing its unfavorable behavior. Here are a few of the most common ones:Litter essentials Cats are finicky about many things, including litter. Research shows that most cats enjoy the soft texture of fine-grained litter and hesitate to go near scented litter.

The answer to your pet’s elimination problem could therefore be as simple as trying out various types of litter. Buying the cheapest litter may help your wallet, but if Fluffy doesn’t like it, it won’t think twice before going all over the couch instead. “But how can I avoid the strong stench of cat urine without deodorized litter?” asks one reader of The Daily Cat.

The answer: Spread baking soda underneath the litter to help absorb odors without repelling your cat. Cleanliness Put yourself in your cat’s paws: If you walked into a bathroom that stinks, would you be tempted to use it? Baking soda and unscented litter in the box may work temporarily, but if the box isn't consistently clean, the cat won’t use it.

Cleaning doesn’t take a long time. Scoop it clean daily and you won’t have to change the actual litter for a couple of weeks.At least once a month, scrub the box with soap and water, avoiding strong-smelling chemicals or cleaning products. Then thoroughly dry the box with a few paper towels before refilling.

Simply adding more litter does not equate to less-frequent cleaning.In fact, most cats avoid litter more than 2 inches deep. Box particulars Not all cats are created equal, so not all litter boxes work for all cats. After weeks of replacing wet packaging tape in Tony’s covered litter box, Roberts searched for a more permanent litter box option that would suit Tony.

“We looked online and browsed around the pet store, and we bought a Clevercat® litter box,” he says. Similar to a trash bin, this unique box includes a lid with a hole on top. When the cat needs to relieve itself, it hops inside through the hole, takes care of its business and then exits through the same hole.

A built-in tracking mat removes the litter from the cat’s paws before it hops off. “We’ve used this ever since, but it may be hard for your own cat to hop in if he’s old,” says Roberts.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
