Why did my house trained puppy pee on the floor?
27 Nov 2009
I have a 4 month old husky/german shepherd puppy who is crate and house trained. She’s already been spayed. I’ve had her for a little over a month and never had an accident in the house. I took her out to go to the bathroom and she peed right on the stoop (never done that before) then she peed the rest in the backyard. We came inside and sat down a couple minutes later she got up and peed on my floor. Why? Is this normal? Does this mean somethings wrong? She wasn’t scared or nervous, she was acting completely normal. It seems like an lot of pee for a little puppy. It’s not like she’s been drinking more than usual. Is this something I should be concerned about?
Take the puppy to the vet. It may not be anything serious, but it’s never harmful to take preventative measures. However, it seems like there is nothing wrong. Perhaps you didn’t let her finish outside. Often times, puppies learn that you bring them in immediately after doing their business, so they hold a little bit, to make it so that you have to take them back out. This may be a case of that. Let her run around a bit after she goes, if you haven’t been doing that, and you may notice she’ll pee again a few minutes after the initial pee.

Drank too much water?
also remember, she IS a puppy. Kids may be potty trained at an early age, but they still have accidents. Give her a break, she’s only 4 month old.

get her checked for UTI. Innapropriate peeing is one of the first signs of infection.

Because she is not fully house trained.

It could also be that she was in there for a long time holding it. She may have had too full a bladder. The last thing to do before crating her is to give her an opportunity to go. Once she has had that chance, don’t allow her to drink until you come home. No water in the crate. Hope that helps ya!!!

It might be a bladder problem. People with bladder problems constantly have to pee–I knew someone like that once. He ALWAYS had to use the bathroom! She may need a new bladder, or just something to help her control it.

Hello, many bitches may lose some of the sphincter control after their spay. To rule out infection though, bring her urine sample for testing. May be 40 bucks but worth it.
Wishing you both all the best!!!

I’d leave her outside longer to make sure she is finished and watch her to make sure she doesn’t have an infection or something.

well i think ur dog has its schedule and u probably interrupted i own a 11 month old pitbull who is trained by previous owners and when i got him he peed to mark territory and pooped around 8-9 am and 10-11pm so i take him around those times and every hour or so in between

she prob just had an accident.. and if you yell at her it makes it worse..
but I want to know what kind of crazy vet do you have that fixed her at 4 months old… most vets won’t fix them until they are 6 months old.. they are not fully muture at 4 months..
best of luck though!
