The dog pees in the kennel, have you ever thought about the reason? Dogs peeing in the kennel may be caused by reasons such as wanting to take revenge on their owners, not having the habit of defecating at a designated location, or suffering from urinary system diseases. First of all, some dogs will urinate in the den in order to retaliate against their owners because they have been taught a lesson. Secondly, if the dog is still relatively young, he will defecate anywhere because he does not have the habit of defecating at a fixed point. Finally, if the dog suffers from urinary system diseases, such as urethritis, cystitis, and urinary system stones, it will urinate in the nest because it cannot control urination.

1. Revenge against the owner

Dogs usually urinate in places designated by their owners. However, if the owner makes them angry, such as scolding them or hitting them, some stingy dogs may find ways to retaliate against their owners and urinate in the kennel. Some dogs may even go to their owner's bed to urinate. Therefore, when a dog makes a mistake, the owner cannot just punish it severely. It is recommended to teach it in a gentler way, so as to make the dog's character become more kind and well-behaved.

2. Not having the habit of defecating at a fixed point

When a dog does not have the habit of defecating at a fixed point when it is young, it will defecate anywhere. If this is the case, you can train the dog when it is a little older. For example, collect the dog's urine and diapers and place them in a designated place, let the dog come here to smell and become familiar with its own smell, and then take the dog to pee here many times to go to the toilet. When the dog goes to the toilet in the designated place, reward the dog. Over time, the dog will go to the toilet at a fixed time.

3. Suffering from urinary system diseases

If the dog urinates in the den and is also accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination, painful urination, dripping urine, and incomplete urination, it is mainly caused by urinary system diseases, such as urethritis, cystitis, and urinary system stones. Due to the stimulation of inflammation and stones, the dog cannot control urination, which causes it to urinate in the nest. This situation is quite serious, so it is recommended that the owner take the dog to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time.
