: Toilet behaviour My male mastiff is 8 months old & has just finished puppy pad training. However since he started to cock his leg to pee, he has started to pee up a chair in the house. How do I get him to stop?

Experience has taught me that it's not a matter of making him 'stop' to pee inside, up a chair in this case, but to offer your dog plenty of peeing opportunities outside.

Take him outside, and patiently wait until he pees. In the very beginning this may take 30 minutes, even an hour, but it becomes easier and faster the more you train this.

Once your mastiff pees, say 'pee pee' and reward him with treats. Rinse and repeat every hour (if your dog still has the urge to pee inside, repeat faster), and after a while your dog will know that he'll be rewarded when/if he pees outside.
