You don't say if the new puppy is older, younger, bigger, smaller... than he dog you're having problems with. But from all that you're saying, it sounds like he's just marking his territory. When he pees, is it usually in a place that he likes to go? Or maybe a place that you like to sit or relax? He's claiming what he feels is his and he's trying to communicate this to the new dog. Not that he hates the dog, he's just establishing his place and his authority... It's a dominance thing. But dogs usually start to do this around 6 months. Before then they could care less. But right around that 6 months mark, they learn all sorts of new bad behaviors. I'm wondering how recent the neuter was, because a dog neutered before 4 or 5 months should not be acting that way. Advice to you, shower him with love and attention when he's being a great boy, start giving treats again when he goes to the bathroom in the house. And I hope to God you've got a crate for him. One that's just his. When he pees somewhere he shouldn't grab him as soon as he does it, and place him in his crate IMMEDIATELY. No talking, just a simple "BAD BOY" or "BAD DOG" will suffice.. Leave him in time out for at least 20 minutes or so, just to let him know that his behavior is unacceptable. Clean up the spot while he's in time out and make sure he isn't watching you. You cleaning up his mess will make him think he has dominance over you... Use bleach, ammonia (which are my 2 favorites), or another cleaner specially for dog messes. Just something so that he can't smell his own urine.. Good luck and I hop everything works out for you.Anymore questions? Feel free to email me : luvn_bois_is_sin@yahoo.com
