My 2 month old shih tzu puppy sometimes pee and sit on it. He wets himself. Is this normal? Why does he do this?

Your pet sitting or sleeping in his pee for prolonged hours can cause infection on his skin as pee tends to burn..Kindly do not encourage this behaviour..Training can help your pet to stop this behaviour..Kindly give your pet adequate potty training...Through positive reinforcement training by rewarding confident correct postures you can stop this behaviour..

If this behaviour does not stop even after training, kindly schedule an appointment with vet to rule out urinary tract infection （ not v. common in y.pups）.

Hi, it's very normal for young pups to do this it's like a young human toddler peeing in the bed or floor and sitting on it. You can encourage him to pee on a pad or in specific areas like bathroom/ utility after feeding him or as soon as he wakes up. Training at this age can be hard, it'll be easier when he is slightly older 4 months to 9 months is the ideal training period. And once you start taking him out most of these problems would not happen at all.

Puppies are most receptive to learning and forming habbits between 8 to 16 weeks of age, making this the ideal time to start your puppy training schedule.. At this age they are quickly able to grasp the commands. When a pup is young they tend to pick up on a lot of behaviours thay they will have as an adult, making this period the best opportunity for teaching them.

Dear Kuddle community, I am writing this post with a heavy heart, but also with hope and excitement for my beloved dog's future. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I am unfortunately unable to provide the care and attention that my furry friend deserves. Therefore, I am seeking a loving and responsible family who can give my dog the happy life they deserve. Jerry is a wonderful companion who loves to play, cuddle, and go for walks. They are loyal, affectionate, and always eager to please. They have been trained to follow basic commands but takes time to get used to other people and dogs. By adopting my dog, you will not only be providing them with a loving home but also helping to alleviate the burden on animal shelters and rescues. You will be making a positive impact on the life of an animal in need. If you are interested in adopting my dog, please reach out to me through the Kuddle app. I would be more than happy to answer any questions and arrange a meet-and-greet.

Hi, I wanted some suggestions on which omega 3 fish oil is good for dogs? Earlier I was giving my dog the one from “Wow” brand. It was good and safe as recommended by the vet we always see. But he would have loose motion sometimes and we kinda got confused due to what he was having it, and stopped the supplements and later figured out it’s because he eats chicken once in a week and because of the heat he was going loose motion. So before I could start with the supplements again I want to know which is good one?
