Many people have misunderstandings about dogs urinating randomly. People often say, "My dog/cat is disobedient. I taught it a lesson yesterday, but today I actually peed on my bed! This guy must be revenge on me!"
Whether it is peeing on the owner's bed, peeing on his own bed or elsewhere, in fact, cats and dogs do not urinate where they should urinate, there are various reasons. We cannot arbitrarily say that they wet the bed because they are "angry". In terms of dogs' IQ, the possibility of "revenge" bedwetting sperm is very few.
So what is the main reason why dogs love to pee?
1. Reason 1: Obedient urination
Dogs wet the bed, especially when peeing on the owner's bed is obedient urination.
This happens to many dogs with high obedience or timid personality (such as young dogs, some small dogs, abused dogs, etc.). This is because they believe that the owner is a stronger existence, and the owner's bed is often the place where the owner smells the strongest, so nature will drive them to pee in places where the owner smells the strongest, so they can gain a sense of security.
This can explain why some dogs urinate on their owner's bed after being taught a lesson. They are not for “revenge” but because of fear and loss of security.
Dogs with obedient urination usually lack confidence. The owner can help build self-confidence by increasing positive rewards, avoiding eye contact, touching the dog from the side, squatting down and communicating with the dog, reducing punishment, and playing competitive games with the dog (and allowing it to win a little more).
2. Reason 2: Hormone-reactive urinary incontinence
Usually, urinary incontinence under this reason is commonly seen in sterilized middle-aged female dogs. It has been reported abroad that the incidence rate is about 10%. For bitches, estrogen not only maintains reproductive function, but also participates in controlling the urethral sphincter. The removal of ovaries during sterilization surgery greatly reduces estrogen secretion, and some dogs will wet the bed because the sphincter gradually becomes less powerful.
If it is confirmed that this is the reason, you should follow the doctor's advice and perform corresponding medication. Do not try to feed the medicine yourself to treat it.
3. Reason 3: Territory marking
dogs are used to marking their territory with urine. This situation is more common among unspained male dogs, but a few sterilized male dogs and bitches may also have this behavior. In order to reduce labeling behavior, not only should the dog be sterilized, but the owner himself should also establish prestige in front of the dog.
4. Reason 4: Lack of education and training
Dogs themselves will not know that they cannot urinate at home. This requires the owner to start a series of education after picking them up, including regular and regular feeding, fixed-point defecation, regular walking of the dog, establishing a reward mechanism, dividing and allowing them to understand the areas where they can move at home, etc.
