Reply to comment by Critical_Cress_6106 in Compared to wolf pups and kittens, dog puppies tend to spontaneously match actions demonstrated by a human — even in the absence of food rewards by marketrent

Over the years I've had several dogs, and they all had this thing where, if they had to pee/poop inside for some reason (I'm late coming home, they had the runs or something) they always went in the bathroom. My one dog would even hop into the bathtub and go there.

Cats tend to do this too, pee in the bathtub or sink. I am not sure why. Maybe drain odors smell to them like “this is the place to urinate”, or maybe it’s something about the smooth surface, though I would think carpet would seem better to pee on.
