Hi there - just looking for advice or if anyone has had similar experiences.
I have a 4 year old male toy poodle- he is very active, affectionate and has always been anxious. Potty training him has always been incredibly difficult - I could not trust him to go outside 100% of the time, unless I followed him each time. About two years ago he started peeing on walls, I thought it was a boredom thing, however even if I take him on three walks a day he would still pee on the walls. I also considered it to be territorial, however we have one female dog who has been around since he was 6 months old, and no other dogs come around, so I’m not sure why he would be territorial. He also gets so much affection, attention, and mostly has someone around so he isn’t lonely. He loves to play fetch constantly.
I’m just looking to understand why he could be doing this, and if there is any advice to train him to understand that this is not okay. I have engaged multiple trainers for other behavioural issues (he is a lockdown dog) which he has massively improved in, and it’s important to note he is a negative reinforcement dog.
I just can’t crack the code on this, and would love to not find pee on my walls constantly. Any help is appreciated
