    If you have a crate, then I recommend going back to basics with crate training. If you don't have a crate, then buy one or borrow one from a friend and use that to retrain on going potty outside.

    If that doesn't work, there may be a physical problem and you should have the vet look at your dog.

    Well my dog also had the problem. He was pottytrained in the beginning then later he starts going to the bathroom all over the place. Its probably that he got so used to you that he thinks that he can do what he wants. Does he follow you? Because if he does then maybe everywhere you go he follows and doesnt bother to go potty in the right place. If he continues going to the bathroom all over the house then when he starts whining or sniffing the floor in circles pick him up and put him in the place he has to go to the bathroom. He should learn again. But usually if your too late I read on the internet that you should put him in the place he has to go to the bathroom clean his wettings and put the paper that he used in front of him. But dont let him lick or eat it. He can become sick.

    Hope I helped

    have their been any changes in your household?

    changes it diet?

    has he been left alone for longer periods of time than usual?

    all these things and then some could trigger this reaction in dogs

    if none, it could possibly be a medical issue like a bladder or UTI infection. if thats the case, the dog needs to get to a vet.

    Is he fixed? If not, he could be territorial peeing. Other than that I would take him for longer walks. He may be bored and need to go out more often. I would also take him to the vet and see if he has a bladder infection.

    Maybe you arent taking him out enough. Take him out every hour. Set and alarm clock to go off every hour of the day. Drop everything you are doing when the alarm goes off and take him out. If it doesnt go away, go to the veterinarian. He may have a bladder problem.

    Sounds like the dynamic has changed in the household - maybe a new roommate, a new pet? - something your dog is not used to and is trying to let you know he is not happy.

    he should have UTI infection, or something else. First step is to take him to the vet to make sure there is nothing wrong. Good Luck

    i would take him to a vet to be checked out as soon as you can, it can be an infection that makes it hard to hold his bladder, if everything checks out ok try using puppy pads.
