Peeing on fabric

[linwhite]

We all know many bulldogs like to pee on fabric inside. My Frenchie will not go outside in the rain period. She will pee on a crate mat or anything else on the floor. I have found a compromise for us - a Waterhog Doormat. It's not the least expensive short term but I've had the same ones for years and washed them any way you can think of.

They are made out of recycled plastic bottles, hold 40x it's weight in liquid, don't leak under the mat, come in a variety of colors and sizes, are easy to clean...

I have several. when I was them I do not de-enzyme them so Zeva knows it's okay to use them. I sometimes do bleach them for sanitation though. I can wash them in my washing machine with hot water to make them more pliable or hose them down. If I had a laundry tub, I could use that too. They catch the dog hair and dirt as the dog comes in and out and can be vacuumed to de-hair. Here's a link to show you what I'm talking about. I'm sure other places carry them as well. The key is WATERHOG.

Edit: You can search llbean's website for Waterhog Doormat to find an online order form.

Do bullies like to pee on fabric for a particular reason? I haven't heard that until now? Interesting!

My girl will pee on a cushion or dog bed on the floor, but she sleeps in bed with me and she does not pee my bed. I have been thinking of getting her a doggy bed but none of them seem to be easily washable and I do think she's going to pee on it if I get one.

Our Lola pees on her bedding often. She was doing great with a pet park indoor station but she decided to go back to peeing on her blankets. We had tried a big cushiony dog bed when we got her and she was so quick to pee on it she did it right in front of us. She has even hit our couches early in our time together, but we overcame that issue. We have been very curious about her doing this but have always chalked it up to being raised in a cage as a breeder bully. Any clues on why they do it and if possible, how it can be stopped would be greatly appreciated.

I think they also pee to mark things as their territory so maybe that is part of it as well? I would think if they are healthy and potty trained marking would make sense. Brie scratches surfaces to leave her scent before she las down sometimes ??
