He is making his mark in the new house. I really dont know what to suggest, except watch him carefully and tell him off if he tries to do it and then put him outside. I hope he will settle down soon.

When we moved into our new house last year the dogs seemed happy enough and content after the move. After a day or so the ***** (Mitsy) kept rolling around on the floor and rubbing herself against walls etc. The dog(Buster) kept sniffing but nothing else.
Once the carpets had been put down Buster kept peeing all over them and trying to scratch the carpets up to get to the floor underneath. Mitsy still continued to rub herself into the carpets and also on the walls which Buster didnt like. After mentioning it to a neighbour they said that the previous owners had two dogs - a dog and a ***** too... We then realised that it was the scent and that they were marking their territory and that's why Buster was getting jealous because of the scent of the dog and the scent of the ***** was sending him crazy!!
We ended up taking the carpets up and thoroughly cleaning the floors and walls (with stronger cleaning fluid than we previously used) and then laying them again. The dogs rarely tried to pee or rub themselves anymore and if we did we just warned them off and told them they were naughty. 6 months plus on and we are O.K. and the dogs seem to be O.K. now and dont feel the need to mark any territory and rub themselves as they now know that is is their's (and that we tell them it is naughty) and hopefully with all the cleaning we did etc the old scent has gone!!
Hope this helps and your dog stops peeing in the house soon!!

if you had had him neutered this wouldn't have happened. Unneutered dogs scent mark any new place to let other dogs know they are there. It isn't about needing to go for a pee, it is about marking it as his territory. Just keep cleaning it up and the behaviour will stop after a week or so once he feels secure.

Just because you have a new home doesn't mean that the dog realizes that this is his new home. We see this all the time in rescue. The dog is housetrained for his foster and then gets adopted and goes in the house.
You need to do a quick refresher course on housetraining. It won't take near as long as the first time. He will learn that this is his new den .

Maybe he's just trying to mark his territory if there was a previous dog in that house.

Your dog is marking the house as its own so other dogs know that your dog is in this house!

This is probably a territorial thing-he feels nervous that this new place has new smells and looks different, so he wants to make his mark! He wants to let people (and other dogs) know that this is his place! Hope this helped! xxx

you need to go to the pet store and purchase the dog cleaner that will take the dog scent out of your house.
then wash everthing with at solution all floors and steps. then your dog will stop

Since you just moved to a new house, he is realizing this is his new home and where he will stay. They pee to mark their territory and he is marking his territory. Put training pads around the places he is peeing. And when he pees elsewhere, scold him. (don't abuse him or scream at him just tell him he has done wrong)

did the previous owners have a Dog? He may be trying to cover up the old dogs scent.
