Why is my dog peeing in the house constantly? Health or behavior?

Question

Hi my female Staffordshire bull terrier cross boxer has in continence issues which I really want to fix. She wee's a lot in the house, day and night. And when there is nobody in the house. I don't know if this is a behaviour problem or a health problem and I just want to know how to get around it? Thanks. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | 25 lbs

I would have Deana seen by a vet for a health check. I'm not sure how old she is or if she is spayed or not, but if she is an older spayed female, she could be suffering from spay incontinence. It could also be due to a UTI or bladder stones. The vet can do a physical exam, blood tests, and urinalysis to diagnose if there is a medical illness causing her to urinate in the home or not. If one is found, the vet can discuss treatment options with you. If one isn't found, the vet can discuss behavioral methods to help with her urinating in the home.
