Spiteful UrinatingDear Gwen, My three year old maltese has turned spiteful. She's house broken, but when I leave the house without her, she wets on the floor. I know she doesn't have to go, because I always take her out for a long walk before I leave. And I'm only gone for a few hours! I have tried spanking her when I come home but all that does is make her hide when I come home. Help!

Dear Annoyed: Your dog is not being spiteful. I believe she really does have "to go" after you leave. After a long walk, most dogs come home fairly thirsty and will drink more water than they need. Within a short time, their little bladder fills up and they need to empty out again. Take her for her walk earlier. When you get home, don't let her drink excessively. Then before you leave, take her for another short walk to allow her to relieve herself again. Stop all your scolding and spanking as that can only make the problem worse. If she fears
punishment when you return, she will most likely become nervous. Nervousness can cause
excessive panting which in turn can make her thirsty, so she will again drink too much
water. A classic sign of nervous is increased urination.
