Because of the reaction to my stress, what can I do to stop my one year old dog from urinating and sometimes more in our home. She does not do any thing like that when the market is smooth or the direction of the market is going my way so I know this is the problem.
An example: (The market was and has been especially stressful for quite some time now) however I was being extra sweet with her last evening, put her on the sofa with me (which is rare with my wife or me although our dog loves to be there), she was setting perfectly still and when I picked her up she had fully urinated all over where she was setting. We didn’t punish her, just set her out on the balcony. We live up high so we cannot take her down to the park quick enough when something like that happens. As for taking her for her walks, normally we take her out around 7:30 to 8:30 in the morning and 5:00 to 6:30 in the evening, each outing is anywhere from 30 minutes but more likely an hour to an hour and a half. We also travel a lot sometimes up to a month, leave her in the same kennel she was born in, (the people are extremely nice to her), each time when we return she seems to have enjoyed the stay, she does very well for about a week then she starts this sort of thing all over again. Of course I cannot stop my day-trading so how can we solve this problem?
Thanks,
David
You need to make arrangements for someone to take your dog out to toilet during the day. She doesn’t give a rats about the stock market. She simply needs to go out to toilet and you are asking too much of her to expect her to hold on for so long..

If your dog has to wait from 8:30 am until 5pm before she can urinate or deficate I’m not really surprised she has accidents. The example you gave on the settee may have something to do with that she was allowed a special privilege of being on the sofa and she wanted to feel relaxed so she stopped holding on and peed so she could feel totally relaxed. OR it could have been her claiming the settee as hers although i think its more likely the first reason. If she is peeing/pooing when you are getting aggitated it is because she needs to go and the extra excitement or stress is making it too difficult for her to hold on. Would you manage that long between bathroom breaks? she will also need out in the evening before you go to bed. Take her out more often or employ a dog walker perhaps.

dogs sense our moods and can become upset when we are and get pretty nervous and pee but ur dog might have a lttle urinary infection from holding her pee for long periods and when she relaxes her bladder lets go.she should go out more often to get into a routine to empty her bladder at least once before u get home.there are many people who do this kind of job and will come and take her out daily for a small fee and then she will have potty time and some company inbetween ur jobs.take her in for a checkup and a urine sample also to rule out any other problems.good luck
