He is 1 years and 3 months old, according to his previous master. She told me that this dog will pee in the toilet whenever he's there. But the matter change when he came to my house, maybe new enviroment. We have try to force him to pee in toilet, but he refuse and wanna go out . After that, he not dare to get nearby the toliet or even halfway. Yesterday and a day before, he pee in my house. He get cane by me very very seriously. Until he hide under the sofa, i'm not mean to cane him but I have too. I told him not to shhshh there anymore, if still like that I will whack you. He really afraid of me and very very quiet thru the nite and sat on the cage. I really need all your advice on this issue, in which I really don't want to cane him.

Dogs dun talk or understand human language unless you teach them to. When you have a baby and he pee in his pants do you cane him? I think you should be reading up on how to do toilet training for dogs. Or I would suggest you to subscribe to this newsletter www. dogs world .net for articles on toilet training.

I adopted a dog 7 mths ago and he still pees & poo in the house occasionally eventhough I've trained him to do it outdoor during his walks twice a day. Sometimes, I overslept or did not bring him out for his walk on time, then he gives me surprise. I would not discipline him unless I caught him red-handed marking areas in my house. It's been a few days only.... your dog need more time to settle in new environment. Continue to reinforce toilet training for your dog.
