SkySoaringMagpie Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 We have two small terrier fosters at the moment. They are peeing in their water bowl. When I went out this morning the water was yellow. This is new one to me, my dogs have never done this. One is desexed, the other not (yet). Will need to sort this before they go to new homes, any ideas? TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Raise the water bowl off the ground a bit - so that they can still reach it to drink, but not low enough for them to pee in... T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkySoaringMagpie Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 Thanks, tried that with a hanging bucket and they can pee up to their head height. Will try hanging it higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadbury Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 My Brothers dogs/desexed males, used to pee in the dog bowls when they stayed with me.....water/food It drove me NUTS....I had two females desexed dogs. The only thing I could do was remove the bowls immediately after food and keep the water bowls up a bit higher on a brick. As they only stayed over the weekend with me I had no Idea/chance how to stop them. They never did this at their own home inside/or outside so I just put it down to a marking my house as their territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boronia Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I am wondering if you could leave the bowl that they pee in where it is (with their pee still in it) and then put another container,that is made of food-grade plastic (like a tallish, narrow jug similar to the ones you buy that hold drinking water and go in the fridge door), in a place in the yard which is a fair way away from their pee-bowl.

Ive got one who does this so he has a piddle pot and a water bowl - seems to stop him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyosha Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Do they do it if they are separated? We once had a greyhound foster who would pee on any bowl - water or food, if another dog used it. It seemed like an ownership thing - and he was very food driven. It did settle after desexing but never disappeared. He went on to be an only dog and has never done it as far as I know.

SkySoaringMagpie Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) Before I left for work I separated them into different runs. When I got home tonight the desexed one's bowl was pristine, the other one's bowl was yellow again. I have left the "yellow" bowl there and hung one of these bowls up high, hopefully out of pissing range: I was using one of these, but there was pee all up the sides as well as in it. I'm hoping the one above will mean he pees just under it. Edited December 10, 2012 by SkySoaringMagpie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkySoaringMagpie Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 Water bowls now sorted and pee free. There is a fair bit of pee under the water bowl tho'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Labradork Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Oscar (the Pug) sometimes does this, and he poos in it too! I think he does it because he is saying to Poppy "This is mine!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
