I have a Lhaso Apso (cutest little thing ever) who is 2 years old, fully potty trained (well, suipposed to be), and for the last year he leaves pee puddles in the house. He doesn't ever fully go because there would be a lot more. Just these little puddles! We have a dog door that he has used since he was a puppy (we've had him since he was 3 months) and he goes outside always to go no. 1 & 2. Then he will come inside and pee just a little bit in the same 2 rooms of the house at least once a day. It's driving me mad. I bring him to it, spank him, then put him outside then he just does it again. Almost always in the morning. WHY does he do it, and how can I get him to stop?

He may be marking his territory. If he's not neutered, get him neutered.
Clean the spots with warm water and, if possible, shampoo them professionally. This will get rid of any residue that keeps him peeing in the same place.
Hopefully this will work for you.
You also should get him checked for bladder problems. Sometimes a urinary tract infection can cause dogs to potty more frequently and have "accidents." A very simple pee test at the vet can rule this out.

It's likely that he had an accident in a few places once upon a time and regardless of your endless scrubbing, he can STILL smell it, though you can't. You can get sprays at a pet store that will not harm the dog, but which will completely remove the scent and prevent him from peeing there again. You can't just use regular old deodorizer, because it's a chemical thing, and they make sprays and cleaners specific for getting out the doggy goodness. Follow the directions on the label and clear out those two rooms! =) If that doesn't work... remember that dogs' memories aren't like ours. "They" (those who study dog behavior) say that if you want to punish a dog for something, a small tap on the nose at exactly the moment he does it is the only way. Dragging him to the pee later an punishing him will only make him feel guilty, but not understand why. So, try to catch him in the act and tap his nose and give a strong NO right at the moment. Even a few minutes later is probably pointless. Good Luck!

Stress of a brand new dwelling would be playing a factor. She may have a complication with the spay that might lead to incontinence. My recommendation can be to take her to the vet to have her checked out to be sure that the obstacle will not be medical. If it is determined that it is not, i'd recommend refreshing her memory on the potty training process. A little reward goes far!

I know some dogs are easily excitable and will pee uncontrollable. Also some male dogs who are submissive will pee a little when you scold or yell at them.
I suggest you have him fixed. At that time if there are any other problems, such as weak bladder the vet will make you aware of them.
Has any other behavior change? Has his schedule or surroundings changes? I sometime think that dogs have their own personality, just like people. He may be upset or mad about something.

Sounds like either he has a UTI or he is an excitable pee'er. Whenever you greet him in the mornings, make sure you stay calm. If you get him over excited, he will pee a little and can't help it. Can you close off the other 2 rooms that he goes to? Make sure you get the smell out or he will keep going back to the same spots. Good luck!

Because he's not potty trained, and if he's not neutered, he's also marking. Get the dog neutered, please, and crate him when you aren't watching him. Your dog has had inconsistent training and was allowed freedom in the house before he was ready. Take a step back in his potty training and get some Nature's Miracle or similar, an enzyme cleaner that will totally remove the scent of his urine. Reinforce the good stuff - feed him his most favorite treats when he potties outside.

stress of a clean abode would desire to be enjoying a element. She would have a hassle with the spay that would desire to bring about incontinence. My advice could be to take her to the vet to have her appeared at to confirm that the project isn't medical. no count if it incredibly is set that it is not, i might advise fresh her reminiscence on the potty training technique. slightly compliment is going an prolonged way!

He may have a bladder infection... my poor puppy did. And with some meds it cleared right up... you'll may be able to tell when he pees regularly does he seem in pain???

Have him checked for a health problem.
If he is fine, then he is NOT fully potty trained.
Go back to the beginning as if he was a puppy and do it over.

If something has changed in your life like another dog, cat, spouse or kids he could be acting out. Dogs are effected by their environment around them. If anything has changed in the last year and he don't like it, he might be rebelling.
