Hi I have 2 male whippets - one is 1 year old (tomorrow!!!) the other is approx 19months. At night I believe the older whip wees - nearly always the same spot. We make sure they both do their business as late as possible before bed and sometimes its fine - but sometimes it isn't. It may go a couple of weeks with no accidents then a spate of them most nights. I have took advice from this site of cleaning with non bio washing powder with vinegar and I thought this worked - but then it didn't!!! I can only assume its the older one as he can sometimes look very guilty over the mess - but then again I don't know for sure. Should I go back to baby pup days of getting up once a night to try and 'train' him again? Or would a crate at night train him? Any advice welcome! Thanks.

They are a pain, mine was doing really well and has gone back to cocking his leg up the kitchen unit and the freezer, he also sometimes does a poo. They are all let out last thing and I watch to make sure they go and don't play around and it still happens.

He is 19 months old and has been difficult from the word go, I thought we had sorted it , but no, he's gone back to being dirty. I don't want to crate him because the little bitch he sleeps with in the kitchen doesn't like being crated, difficult to know what to do for the best. Doesn't help you all this, good luck with yours! :luck:

I would have a checkup first with the vet to exclude a urine infection. You shouldn't need to get up in the night to let the dogs out. I would try the crate if they are used to it. My friends whippet slept in a crate until he was 2 because he pee'd everynight, eventually he decided it was more fun to be free & stopped ( no accidents in the crate though ).

Good luck

I find that going out for a final walk around 9pm/ 10pm ensures they empty the bladder properly. Just letting them out in the garden for a quick wee isn't always enough. Also keeping them warm at night helps. Maybe a covered crate is the answer?

one of ours started peeing at night and it became a real habit, we went back to putting her in her crate at night and shes not done it since :thumbsup:

it seemed if she could get out of her bed for a wee then she would, but shes not so desperate to pee if it ment she had to do it in her bed.

no accident since she went back in it 2 months ago :thumbsup:

hope you get it sorted :thumbsup:

Same with our older girls - if they can wee at night they do - so ours are in a cage too - apart from the very old girl who wees herself in her sleep sometimes, we never have a problem. The boys are much cleaner though - they would go for a week without a wee :thumbsup:

Funny isnt it..

Tilly was good as gold crated and never peed, then we thought we could trust her so she was allowed to sleep out of the crate at night and she started weeing on the floor

Crated her and it stopped, so now they are both crated

just to say if you dont know who it is try a little test - crate one off them at a time just maybe for a few nights :thumbsup:

Have done some research & you need to use BIOLOGICAL washing powder to clean up.The enzymes work on the urea to break down the smell
