I've known several Pug owners that have been surprised when their previously potty trained Pug suddenly "fell off the wagon" and made a huge mess in the house. "There's no way that will be me!" is their most common reaction.
And it's natural if one thinks there must be another cause for the mess, such as a broken pipe or a faucet left on...until the moment when the Pug is caught in the act! It's typical, after a lot of screaming and disbelief, for the Pug to be quickly banished out-of-doors. But the truth is that such harsh and fast action can actually have a negative impact on a mature Pug dog. That's because most often it is a medical or psychological cause involved that requires some treatment. Medical problems are the cause for the majority of problems that we've seen with mature Pug dogs having accidents in the house. It's key that you get to the bottom of the problem before you can move forward with the proper plan to solve the problems, so don't be too hasty. Most Pug owners know that the aging process of their Pug will manifest itself in a gradual loss of hearing, followed by diminished vision. Squeezed somewhere in between, signs of arthritis might show up, decreased in appetite, more frequent naps, and other tell-tale signs which may become evident. What is not widely known is that toilet training is one of the first things to go! Since this is not widely known, it's understandable that Pug owners think that his Pug has forgotten potty training, is not as smart as previously thought, is lazy, or has turned into a sneaky little dog. The truth is that this behavior is more likely the first sign of the inevitable aging process. In fact, as your Pug gets older, the muscles of the bladder gradually lose their control, much like older human experience. The prostate gland gets bigger as most male Pugs get older, leading to an inflammation that will cause him to pee much more frequently. It's also true that over seventy percent of Pug dogs 8 years or older will come down from kidney disease. And as a Pug gets more mature, kidney functions start to weaken, which can contribute to bladder control problems. Older Pugs need to drink 2x the amount of water that Pug pups to fight off these kidney problems. It's little wonder then, with such increased water consumption comes the need for more pees. Older Pugs therefore need to go outside more often. In many cases, the mature Pug dog will try its best to make his needs known to you. But many times the owner simply isn't aware of their Pug's new requirements and misses the dog's signs. Then, the mature Pug is left with just one option, which is to go inside the house. The Pug is just as upset and embarrassed as the owner in these cases! In such cases, shaming and scolding will only make the situation worse, especially if the Pug tried to communicate, only to have his communication fall on deaf or inattentive ears.
