We have had our lovely little Cockerpoo Ben for 2 years now. Obviously to start with he had accidents in the house, we crate trained him and he appeared to have got the hang of it. We gave him free rain of the living room and kitchen when we were out and at night time. About 6 months after he was trained he started urinating in the living room (which is carpeted) he always did it in the same place. We always let him out first thing and last thing (and many times in between) and hes very good at going to the back door when he wants to go out. We tried walking him before bed (just round the block) but he still did it. Because the living room is carpeted we decided that we would have move him into the kitchen only as this is tiled flooring. All was well for a while but he has started urinating in there now - always in the same place. I know that it is because we are leaving him as he only does it when we go out or go to bed. I have let him out in the morning before put him in the kitchen to walk the little one to school, forgot something and gone back in the kitchen to find him with his leg cocked ready to pee!!! We do leave him while we are at work, about 5 hours but he was okay with this before. I dont think its a time thing as he does it even if we nip out for 30mins.
I honestly dont know what to do. I love him to pieces but its frustrating and its really getting OH back up as it makes the house smell (people say it doesnt but we are abit paranoid about it).
Any advice, anything that im doing wrong? Really want to get him to stop
