I have a Lab and he is almost 3 years old. During the day he stays outside, but at night when we are home he comes in. Well, he has found a spot that he likes in the house and he urinates on it. This behavior is not like him, how do I get him to stop?

Hey fellow dog lovers!
I am new to this site so I hope I don't screw this up. With our dog, which we got from a shelter when she was about 3 months old has only had one accident ever since we have had her and that was because we had to make an emergency trip and were gone for about 12 hours. We didn't punish her for our mistake. How I trained her was we put her on a schedule to go outside and play. We stayed out long enough for her to do her business also. When she did her thing, she got a little treat. So she did learn the schedule and we never had a problem. When we would go past her time she would sit beside the door and look at us like "well are you coming or what?". We had no trouble and we have had Teddy for four years now. (01/13/2009)
Take him to the vet. Animals don't change their habits for no reason. (01/16/2009)
