AT RESTPeople have told me to stop a dog peeing in your house is to rub their nose in it ,and they learn not to do it again.
I read in our 4 page long local paper that dog owner got mauled by his own dog after trying to rub the dogs nose in it..... it didn't mention the species, the dog obviously showed him who the alpha male is in the house hold.

... Downside of scrawny insecure men who keep Rottweiler-Mastiff-Staffy crosses, in order to boost their egos !
My info is.... great idea IF you catch them in the act (mid-stream) but not Long afterwards...as they don't associate your frothing at the mouth with a specific - and forgotten- 'natural' act of urination....

keep them on a lead when you let them out for a pee, that way you will be there when he cocks his leg.

Maybe we're expecting too much out of what really is a smallish motor allready pushing 2 tonnes. Just because it's a v8 doesn't mean it's powerfull.
One answer REV IT BABY REV IT!!!

Well that will teach him you should not rub a dogs nose in its own pee.
Firstly you should never reprimand a dog for going to the toilet
Secondly if it does its because you failed to give it adequate time out to pee, don't get Agro with an animal for your own mistakes.
Yes sometimes dogs pee to mark territory but simply training you dog and saying no is very effective.
The age of negative reinforcement is long gone when it comes to training dogs
Our Land Rover does not leak oil! it just marks its territory.......

Obviously the dog was on the better half of full grown. Should have been trained already really.
Having had a few dogs, as pups up to say 12 weeks old, I've always found the nose job very effective Generally, once or twice fixes the problem, after that, as Lou says, it's all down to timing and vigilance of what your dogs doing.
I've had pups that are watched that hard when they're first in, the nose jobs not even thought about.
Having said that, I received a dog at two years of age, as she was coming through the front door, left a trail of wee all the way through to the back door. Poor bitch was that excited,, how could one possibly nose job a dog like that,,, one who knew she was entering a loving environment.
She was one of my best dogs,,, took a couple of weeks of watching her like a hawk, but we got there.
God I miss her

Really?
Lets look at a plausible scenario here.
Dog is locked inside, with no way to get out. He needs to go, and so does. He then curls back up on the lounge & goes to sleep.
Owner comes home an hour or 2 later, finds the puddle, and goes off his rocker. Grabs the dog by the scruff of the neck, and tries to force his face into the puddle.
Dog feels threatened, as he is being held down, and lashes out to free himself. Teeth connect with flesh, owner screams blue bloody murder, and has to get stitched up again.
And you are saying the DOG needs a one way trip? I would rather see the owner put down, and the dog given a new home with someone that actually cares for it.
If people are not prepared to train a dog with positive reinforcement, then they need to re-think their desire to have one. We have managed to train a Rottweiler quite easily, to the point that he will listen to anyone in the house that uses the right commands.

I have trouble finding my dogs' noses to rub it!
Pugs after all!
You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

We accidentally locked a dog in the house for 2 nights while all away. Got back no mess at all, although she didn't hang around to say hello.
Does this mean you should park your Landy in its oil, if you see it leaking.
By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

Clancy's gone to Queensland Rovering, and we don't know where he are
The OP mentioned nothing about "plausible scenarios" and my guess is it was another case of young heroic male with no experience in dog raising, training etc gets a large aggressive breed of dog and things go wrong. A fair point that the dog "owner" may be partly at fault. However the article says the dog "mauled the owner" not just a defensive nip. We have a rule around here, any time one of our dogs even looks like biting one of the family it's the one way trip. We have children to think of (and we spend time teaching them how to interact with dogs) but both children and dogs are unpredictable.
