I love my dog, 6 years old, about 50 lbs. he’s sweet and wonderful. But. He insists on going outside 4-5 times a day to go pee because he never goes all the way to empty his bladder. He’ll insist on finding a ‘good’ smelling area and will wet there, quit, and even if there is a block longer on our walk he’ll stay full until we get home only to insist on going back out a short while longer.
How do I deal with this? I’m a city apartment dweller and have to put on full winter gear and go outside with him so it’s becoming a frustration of mine.
Your attitude is horrible. Starting a post with “I love my dog (…), but” shows your true colors.
Have you ever drank a bunch of water and taken a good piss only to realize you have to pee again a short time later? And I’m absolutely not advocating restricting water access.
You got a dog. Now take responsibility for providing exercise and appropriate elimination opportunities.
