sharonlo55 : Dear Vet,
I had a year and 3ms old male Maltese. He is a very smart and sensitve dog that need a lot of attention on him.
One thing that I was always concern about and get very disspoint with his miss behavior.
Potter (the dog) will get very angry and try to take revenge by urinate at some typical areas that we wouldn’t happy with.
We try for so many times that telling him and punished for his miss behavior but he was so stubborn and keep urinate to the
place that he souldn’t be. Recently it getting worst, I’m very up sad and disspointed with him, thought it will be better for him
to see a vet psychologist.
Would there be any way to correct his miss behavior? or Should it be better for him to see a
psychologist?
Your promptly reply will be hihgly appreciated.
Desprate for help

大敦寵物醫療中心院長戴更基醫生 : what you need to realize is:
1.do not punish your dog with elimination problems
2.potter is still young , just like a 3 years old child, he can’t control when and were to urinate,
3.positive reinforce is the most important thing to teach your dog, when he urinate at the right place, praise him immediately(within two seconds)!
if you still can’t do it well, try to see your animal behaviorist for help!
