out of the blue lifting his leg

IN THE HOUSE!!!! I don't know why. The first 2 weeks we got him (Monty)
there was never anything like this. At first I did not know who it was from the 3 of them. I caught him in the act this morning.

Any ideas why this is happening and how do I correct it. :?
Thanks, Deana

buy a cented pee post and put it out side, make a huge fuss when he uses it, and when he does wrong a big NOOOOOOOOOOOO and take the pup to the post, hopefully you can hit a balance with the NOOOOOOO and he'll catch on.
I should haave told you this. he is 3 yrs old and was housetrained. this has got to be something more.
ooops

You haven't cleaned with any ammonia or other cleaning agents have you?, he may be confused/encouraged by the scent.
My guess is that he is settling in and feeling comfortable...enough to claim the spot as HIS! The honeymoon time has passed. This may have actually been a previous habit as well in his last home.

I would work on retraining like a puppy - limited time between potty trips, keep him in eyesight, potty after naps, drinking - all that.

Dogs are really considered house trained for their specific home - it doesn't always apply to all indoor spaces.

Another thing I would use is a belly band so he doesn't sneak a pee on the sly.
What is a belly band?

It is a fabric band that goes around the belly covering the offending part. It usually hooks with velcro.
Here is one in a picture - I bought mine locally.

I have one for Simon - he is getting lazy in his old age! I stick a cheap peripad in (generic one) in case he actually goes.
