Re: Bitch won't pee!

I co-own a bitch that was like this as well! Her first trip to Nationals, she did not pee for 3 days!!! And that included walks, ball playing, biking, you name it! What finally turned the corner for us - although she is still not as good about going as her sister - is going lots of new places and really working, like herding. It is really hard to cover those sheep when one is sloshing about!

One thing I learned from a friend is to not always put the dog away right after they go. If the dog likes to explore, it will teach them to hold it for as long as possible in order to stay outside.

As far as peeing, a vet suggested making them a strong cup of coffee with lots of cream and some sugar so they want to drink some; caffeine will stimulate their bladder just like it does in humans! Fortunately, my co-bitch got the hang of going before we had to resort to this but bet it would work!
