Many people are having the same problem. But you&rsquo;re not the only one. If your dog is constantly marking your floor, you might need to change your approach. To make it easier for your pooch, try bending down and standing on your knees when approaching him. You can also ask other people to follow suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/reasons-why-my-dog-suddenly-pees-inside\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1150\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dog is peeing<\/a> on you out of submissive urination or not, it&rsquo;s important to understand the cause of your dog&rsquo;s behavior. If your dog is peeing on you because you&rsquo;re nervous or excited, he may be suffering from a medical condition. If your pet is suffering from any of these conditions, he will have to get more frequent urination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6629bb026220d\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseprofile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6629bb026220d\" aria-label=\"Toggle\"><nav><ul class=\"ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 \"><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/how-to-stop-my-dog-from-peeing-on-me\/#How_to_Stop_My_Dog_From_Peeing_on_Me\" title=\"How to Stop My Dog From Peeing on Me?\">How to Stop My Dog From Peeing on Me?<\/a><ul class=\"ez-toc-list-level-3\"><li class=\"ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/how-to-stop-my-dog-from-peeing-on-me\/#Consult_Your_Vet\" title=\"Consult Your Vet\">Consult Your Vet<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/how-to-stop-my-dog-from-peeing-on-me\/#Dog_Training\" title=\"Dog Training\">Dog Training<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/how-to-stop-my-dog-from-peeing-on-me\/#Antibiotics_can_help\" title=\"Antibiotics can help\">Antibiotics can help<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/how-to-stop-my-dog-from-peeing-on-me\/#Change_his_Food\" title=\"Change his Food\">Change his Food<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/how-to-stop-my-dog-from-peeing-on-me\/#Study_the_Cause\" title=\"Study the Cause\">Study the Cause<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/how-to-stop-my-dog-from-peeing-on-me\/#Removing_the_Stressor\" title=\"Removing the Stressor\">Removing the Stressor<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/how-to-stop-my-dog-from-peeing-on-me\/#How_to_Stop_a_Dog_From_Peeing_on_Couch\" title=\"How to Stop a Dog From Peeing on Couch\">How to Stop a Dog From Peeing on Couch<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/how-to-stop-my-dog-from-peeing-on-me\/#Ways_to_Stop_a_Dog_From_Peeing_on_Furniture\" title=\"Ways to Stop a Dog From Peeing on Furniture\">Ways to Stop a Dog From Peeing on Furniture<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/how-to-stop-my-dog-from-peeing-on-me\/#Last_Words\" title=\"Last Words\">Last Words<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Stop_My_Dog_From_Peeing_on_Me\"><\/span>How to Stop My Dog From Peeing on Me?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consult_Your_Vet\"><\/span>Consult Your Vet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your <strong>dog is peeing on you out of stress<\/strong>, he&rsquo;s probably not doing it on purpose. This is called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovingcareanimalhospital.net\/blog\/canine-urine-marking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">urine marking<\/a>. If your dog has been marking on you for a long time, it&rsquo;s likely that he&rsquo;s having an accident. If you&rsquo;re worried, consult your vet to make sure it wasn&rsquo;t a mistake. Fortunately, most dogs can be trained to stop peeing on you &ndash; even those with medical conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dog_Training\"><\/span>Dog Training<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, your dog may be attempting to mark you as a threat, or you may be simply afraid of the situation. In such cases, it&rsquo;s best to consult a veterinarian for proper diagnosis. While most dogs can be taught to avoid peeing on people, they can&rsquo;t be trained if they have a medical condition. Regardless of the cause, there are several ways to <strong>train your dog to stop peeing on you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Antibiotics_can_help\"><\/span>Antibiotics can help<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many reasons why your dog may be peeing on you. Besides physical conditions, your dog could be suffering from a medical problem. A recent <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1177\/0961463X15596705\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">change in routine<\/a>, environment, or physical change can all cause your pet to pee on you. You might notice that your dog is clinging to you when he&rsquo;s sick. This could be a sign of a urinary tract infection. Antibiotics can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_his_Food\"><\/span>Change his Food<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first reason your dog is peeing on you is a sign that it&rsquo;s incontinence. It is important to identify the cause before your pet is unable to control his bowel movements. A new food can cause your pet to urinate more than usual. If your dog is in pain, try to avoid putting pressure on your pup&rsquo;s body. The best way to prevent your pooch from peeing on you is to avoid the food that he loves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Study_the_Cause\"><\/span>Study the Cause<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Punishment is not effective. You should first determine whether your dog is suffering from a health issue. If the problem persists, take him to a vet. If he&rsquo;s drinking water, he&rsquo;ll also have accidents, and this is a sign of his anxiety. It&rsquo;s important to get to the bottom of the cause before you attempt to treat the problem. It is also important to clean your dog&rsquo;s messes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stress is a common reason for your dog to pee on you. It is a sign of dominance and territoriality. Nevertheless, it can be a sign of another issue. If you notice your dog peeing on you, interrupt and take him outside immediately. Once you have done so, reward him with praise and treats. Do not punish your pet after the fact. This is ineffective and may lead to further confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Removing_the_Stressor\"><\/span>Removing the Stressor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dog&rsquo;s peeing behavior may be an emotional reaction. Your dog may feel scared or have separation anxiety, which may lead to the dog peeing on you in unexpected places. In such cases, you can immediately correct the problem by removing the stressor and the cause of the problem. If your pet continues to pee on you, it&rsquo;s important to investigate the reason why. In most cases, the problem is emotional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cQbpLLDgopg\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"responsive-vd-section\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Stop_a_Dog_From_Peeing_on_Couch\"><\/span>How to Stop a Dog From Peeing on Couch<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A dog peeing on a couch or furniture <\/strong>isn&rsquo;t necessarily a behavioral problem. There are many causes for this behavior. You should look into each cause before trying to treat it. Frequent urination can be an indicator of a number of medical issues. Some common causes are kidney disease, Cushing&rsquo;s disease, bladder stones, and bladder infections. You should also look into any age-related medical problems that may be causing your dog to urinate frequently.}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A vet visit can help diagnose the cause of your dog&rsquo;s behavior and prescribe the appropriate treatment. Often, veterinarians will prescribe medications or suggest dietary changes. If you have a bacterial infection, your vet may prescribe antibiotics or tell you to cut down on carbohydrates. For diabetes-related issues, your veterinarian may recommend medication. Sometimes, the best treatment is a combination of medications. A doctor can prescribe a diet that will help your dog feel better and less stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several steps you can take to prevent your dog from peeing on your couch. The first is to wash the couch cover. Steam cleaning can remove the unpleasant smell, but you may have to do this more than once. Enzymatic cleaners can also remove the odor. If your pet is stubborn, you may have to repeat the cleaning process. If you do manage to clean the furniture, you can make sure your dog doesn&rsquo;t pee on your furniture by making sure that it stays off its bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/how-to-remove-dog-pee-or-urine-marks-on-the-lawn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Remove Dog Pee or Urine Marks on the Lawn<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/your-neighbor-dog-keeps-pooping-in-your-yard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">What to Do if Your Neighbor Dog Keeps Pooping in Your Yard<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ways_to_Stop_a_Dog_From_Peeing_on_Furniture\"><\/span>Ways to Stop a Dog From Peeing on Furniture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Why-Does-My-Dog-Lay-On-Me-Should-I-Groom-Him-ffdf.jpg\" alt=\"Why-Does-My-Dog-Lay-On-Me-Should-I-Groom-Him-ffdf\" class=\"wp-image-590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Why-Does-My-Dog-Lay-On-Me-Should-I-Groom-Him-ffdf.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Why-Does-My-Dog-Lay-On-Me-Should-I-Groom-Him-ffdf-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Why-Does-My-Dog-Lay-On-Me-Should-I-Groom-Him-ffdf-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Why-Does-My-Dog-Lay-On-Me-Should-I-Groom-Him-ffdf-735x441.jpg 735w, https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Why-Does-My-Dog-Lay-On-Me-Should-I-Groom-Him-ffdf-335x201.jpg 335w, https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Why-Does-My-Dog-Lay-On-Me-Should-I-Groom-Him-ffdf-347x208.jpg 347w, https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Why-Does-My-Dog-Lay-On-Me-Should-I-Groom-Him-ffdf-520x312.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Why-Does-My-Dog-Lay-On-Me-Should-I-Groom-Him-ffdf-640x384.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Why-Does-My-Dog-Lay-On-Me-Should-I-Groom-Him-ffdf-960x576.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Why-Does-My-Dog-Lay-On-Me-Should-I-Groom-Him-ffdf.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Why-Does-My-Dog-Lay-On-Me-Should-I-Groom-Him-ffdf\" class=\"wp-image-590 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Why-Does-My-Dog-Lay-On-Me-Should-I-Groom-Him-ffdf.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Why-Does-My-Dog-Lay-On-Me-Should-I-Groom-Him-ffdf-300x180.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Why-Does-My-Dog-Lay-On-Me-Should-I-Groom-Him-ffdf-768x461.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Why-Does-My-Dog-Lay-On-Me-Should-I-Groom-Him-ffdf-735x441.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Why-Does-My-Dog-Lay-On-Me-Should-I-Groom-Him-ffdf-335x201.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Why-Does-My-Dog-Lay-On-Me-Should-I-Groom-Him-ffdf-347x208.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Why-Does-My-Dog-Lay-On-Me-Should-I-Groom-Him-ffdf-520x312.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Why-Does-My-Dog-Lay-On-Me-Should-I-Groom-Him-ffdf-640x384.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Why-Does-My-Dog-Lay-On-Me-Should-I-Groom-Him-ffdf-960x576.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.dogs365.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Why-Does-My-Dog-Lay-On-Me-Should-I-Groom-Him-ffdf.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The second step is to wash the furniture. You can either steam clean the area or wash it with the highest safest temperature. If the problem persists, you can use enzymatic cleaners to remove the odor. If that doesn&rsquo;t work, you may need to replace the couch cover as well. This process may take several times, but it&rsquo;s an effective first step. In addition to steam cleaning, you can also try using an enzyme cleanser on the furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Retraining your dog&rsquo;s habits can be a helpful way to eliminate this behavior. After your dog has learned to avoid your couch, try to prevent him from using your furniture. You can also block his access to the furniture and reward him for hitting the target. In this way, your puppy will no longer be tempted to use it to relieve himself. If the behavior continues, you can attempt to retrain the dog&rsquo;s behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;ve been attempting to clean your dog&rsquo;s peeing on your couch, you probably already know that cleaning your furniture is the first step. Changing your dog&rsquo;s habits is essential, and you&rsquo;ll have to change the way you treat the situation. You can&rsquo;t always get rid of the problem, but you can at least prevent it from happening again. Taking the time to clean your furniture will prevent it from becoming a habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from cleaning the furniture, you should also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mollymaid.com\/practically-spotless\/2018\/march\/how-to-deep-clean-a-couch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">clean the couch<\/a> regularly. The urine on the couch is very strong and often remains in a cushion for days or weeks. If the urine is persistent, you&rsquo;ll have to take it out to the veterinarian, as the condition can be serious and cause permanent damage. If you can&rsquo;t stop your dog from peeing on the couch, you can teach them not to do it on your furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Last_Words\"><\/span>Last Words<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the issue can be embarrassing and upsetting, it&rsquo;s an important sign of a health problem. Your dog&rsquo;s behavior is often indicative of problems with his or her kidneys. A healthy dog will not pee on your couch unless it&rsquo;s absolutely necessary. If your dog pees on your couch and furniture often, he may be experiencing a behavioral problem and needs help.
