hi rachel,
your pup is feeling the stress of the new baby coming and although it does not know exactly what is going on, it senses some changes. ||It has probably felt the baby moving inside you a few times and is unsure as to what all the fuss is about. are you spending less time with the pup than you use to? its not unusual for them to act out when a new baby is coming or arrives. \try dealing with it in a calm fashion without raising your voice. the reason that it is peeing around you in a circle is that it is marking its terrritory so to speak, the pup also realizes that if he gets you angry or upset, by peeing, you will give it your full attention briefly. they do not care how they get it, as long as they do. the pup feels that it somehow has to take over the alpha spot so to speak, that it has to handle all the security, etc right now and the changes are making him feel like there is a shift in control. what he doesnt realize is how and why. dont reassure him what ever you do, dont yell at it, dont give negative behavioral reaction to the peeing. rather, keep the leash handy, if it pees in the house, walk over to him, snap on the leash, point to the area and say firmly, NO, but not in a loud voice or mean, just firmly say, NO and point to it. if you can wipe it up, and it must be hard on you right now, believe me, or someone who is with you wipe it up and take the paper towel and pup to the yard where you usually take the pup to pee, place it in the ara and say, Go pee. when it pees, or poos in the area that you want to, give it praise and a pat then take it back in. you may have to repeat this a few times. if the pup is being clingy, put it on a leash, and drape the handle loosly over the door handle while you are working in that room or one near to it. ask it to sit, and say Down and stay. keep a pop can handy with a few screws or coins in it, and if it starts whining, shake it and say no, firmly but not loudly. do not go over to it. practice the NILIF or amichen bonding technique training methods. if you have a book store near you go and purchase jan fennels the dog listener, and follow the instructions for amichen training. it works wonders. good luck with the new baby and congrats. it will work out, dont worry, your fur baby is just feeling a bit pushed out and is acting out.
patience always wins.
