Why do my 2 huskies pee so much when I am not home?

If I am home my 2 huskies can hold themselves alll day long. I only have to take them out 2-4 times depending on their water intake. But when I go to work (5-9 hrs depending on the shift), I leave them in a spacious doggie proof room with a window to overlook the front yard. When I come home they have peed in multiple spots! And its always in the same place in the room. When I come home I stick their faces in it, but it seems to have no effect. I tried crate training but my dominant husky broke out and in the process broke his canine tooth and cut himself badly needing 10 stitches. So crates wont work....My other option is a fence, but I dont have the money :-/ What are my options? (and for those of you wondering why I have 2 huskies its because I rescued them and I love them very much so I will NOT give them away.)

It may be seperation anxiety. Use a good enzyme cleaner on the spots so that they won't reuse those spots out of habit. For the anxiety, try having them confined while you're still home. Don't put them away %26amp; let them back out the moment you leave or come home. Associate being confined as "quiet time" not "momma has to go away for awhile" time.
Reply:Maybe they have a bladder infection take them to the vet


and also 9 hrs is WAY to long for the dog not to go potty.
Reply:I was going to say crate but they broke out. Try a different sized crate maybe, slightly smaller. Some dogs will prefer a smaller crate that normal.





Also, and only if you absolutely have to, restrict their water intake till they are fully trained and understand that the room they are in is not their 'pee room' which they probably think it is now. Only hold their water when you have to, if you are home and are not going out, make sure they have plenty.
Reply:Because they are dogs and don't care. They can go whenever they want. The dos belong outside. They are dogs not humans and much be treated as such.
Reply:Personally I think it is a bit mean to leave those dogs in a room all alone and not expect them to pee. I mean, have dog will pee. I really really hope you save up for a fence for those two. Not just when you feel like it but as a matter of urgency.


Give them a daily supply of water as ice cubes. That way they'll drink slowely.


You say when you're at home you let them out to pee, then all of a sudden you expect them to not pee with no breaks...think about it.
