My two-year-old Bichon frise keeps peeing on everything, her crate, my bed, everything. Any advice before I give her up?

I would recommend to rule out something like an infection in Presley's bladder before you give up on her. Since she can't talk, you don't know the reasoning behind this behavior. The veterinarian will look at her urine sample to see if there are any abnormalities which may cause this behavior. Go from there. If it does look to be more behavioral, speak with a trainer, read some books about housebreaking difficult dogs. Most dogs can be properly housebroken but not all learn in the same fashion. Definitely rule out your medical causes first. I hope this helps to point you in the right direction. Please feel free to post any further questions.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding King. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian to ensure that he is not experiencing a medical issue. He will be examined and likely have a urine sample tested. There are diseases that cause a dog to drink excessive water and urinate more or that will cause inappropriate urination. If he is deemed healthy, then behavioral modifications can be discussed. I would start by treating him like a young puppy. Do not leave him out in the house without complete supervision. Take him outside every 1-2 hours to allow ample opportunities to go potty outside. Praise him profusely when he goes outside. I hope this information helps!
