We went away for the weekend and took our eight month old puppy with us. She would not go to the bathroom the whole weekend but went in her “spot” as soon as we got home. How do I get her to go to the bathroom when we are away from home?

    i doubt that your puppy could refrain from peeing for a whole weekend, she probably was going, but in a place you obviously haven’t found yet :) puppies bladders are weak, but they get stronger as they grow, which is why dogs can “hold it” until they go outside.. xoxo_sexy_biatch_xoxo

    well monkey see monkey do, so maybe if you show your puppy she will want to go, no just kidding they say if you take your dog for walks all the time they get used to going in various spots they are comfortable with. Next time when you go on your trip go for 3 or 4 days, your dog will have no choice to go, they only go in their favorite spots so it could be that she isn’t comfortable yet with travelling. wish_me_dead_666

    get a pharamone stick from your local pet store, or as crazy ar this sounds, if you know you are going out of town, the day b/4 put a styrofoam plate under her when she wees and put it in a tightly seadled container so it can travel w/ you. When you have to take her out either put the pharamone stick or sprinkle her pee in the area you want her to go. You may need to give her an extra 5 to 10 mins because the surroundings are different GreyChevelle

    wow, odd….

    have you tried “pee posts”?? they are these yellow posts you put in the ground and they are supposed to have a certain smell to help potty train puppies. maybe you can buy one and put it in the ground where you want him to go and he can get a new “spot” when you’re away….

    interesting…. joey322

    Some dogs dont like to go when they are outside their environment. Start taking her on short trips so she gets more comfortable out of her space. Try going to the park and walking her. 2littleiggies

    It’s not all that unusual. I had concerns over my dogs when I travelled with them as well. What is happening is that your dog has been trianed to go in certain areas. He’s learned this by associating odors. Most likely, the odor is quite different when you travel and the dog is confused.

    What you have to understand is that no dog will hold their business until they are sick or die. Make sure they have ample opportunity and leave the rest up to them. 411 Fantasy Football
