- 1). Take your pet to the vet to make sure there is not an underlying problem. Ask your vet about specific recommendations to stop your pet from peeing in your home if your pet is healthy.
- 2). Clean all the areas your pet has peed in with products made to remove the urine smell or a pet urine neutralizer, which you can find at pet supply stores. Clean all the areas your pet has peed in or you think it might pee in; if your pet can't find the smell, it won't try to pee in the same area. Purchase a black light at a pet supply store to help you find all the areas.
- 3). Supervise your pet as much as possible, as you need to be able to teach it where to pee when it is in action. Consider placing your pet in the same room as you and closing off the door entrance with a gate. Find someone to watch your pet or put it in a crate during the times you will not be able to watch your pet, for example when working.
- 4). Teach your pet where to pee. Take your pet to the place you want it to pee, either outside, a litter box or some other place. Always say the same command to teach your pet to pee, such as "Let's go potty." Give your pet a few minutes to pee. Praise your pet when it goes or give it a treat.
- 5). Stop your pet when it starts to pee in your home or outside the litter box. Say "No" loudly. Consider using a can with coins inside and shaking it when your pet pees in inappropriate places or make another loud noise. Always use the same phrase and noise when your pet pees in an inappropriate place; this will help it understand the places it is not allowed to be in. Take your pet to the place you want it to pee in and say the command for peeing.
- 6). Clean the litter box at least twice a day if your pet uses one. Remove feces and urine with a scoop and add more litter as needed. Keep the litter a few inches deep and use a large box.
