If your adult Pit Bull unexpectedly soils your house, the reason could be some kind of physical or emotional problem. Keep an eye out on your dog to see if there is any change in his physical appearance and/or his behavior. A physical examination is often necessary when a formerly housebroken dog suddenly begins to soil the house. When accidents happen, consider the following possibilities:
1. Older dogs simply do not have the bladder control that they once had when they were younger. The most effective solution for this is installing a doggy door.
2. It is quite common for older spayed females to dribble. When this occurs, ask your vet about drug therapies.
3. Submissive dogs, particularly young females, may urinate because of excitement upon greeting their owner. Punishment in this case only makes the situation worse. To eliminate the problem, keep greetings calm so as not to overly excite your dog. Submissive urination usually stops as your dog gets older and gains more confidence.
4. If you notice several small urine spots, especially if they are dark or bloody, this could indicate a bladder infection. This type of problem causes the dog to urinate often.
5. Accidents can happen due to bouts of diarrhea. If this is the case, restrict the dog’s access inside the house. Clean and deodorize the area thoroughly and go back to house training
