He is trained to go out to void but seems to think that the upstairs and basement are not part of the house.

If he's already peed there or some other dog has, he's just peeing in a familiar place. If all you did was sop it up, the urine scent is still there. U need to use a cleaning agent. I used Nature's Miracle Stain and Odor Remover. It says it's safe for use around children and pets. I like it but it is a little pricey. U can find it at the pet store. Not Wal-Mart. like petco, petsmart, etc. Go to the pet store, there's others like it. It's good for other things as well: foods, blood, vomit. feces, grease, dirt, grass, smoke, and perspiration. That should work. In a nut shell, get rid of the underlying urine odor and he should stop. hope that helps.

It depends on if he's peeing a lot in one place at a time or spot peeing (marking). They both could be behavioral but, if you're dog isn't neutered that should be your first step, but keep in mind that testosterone stays in their system for 30-40 days afterward so don't expect an immediate difference. And you should know that neutering is no guarantee either. It also sounds behavioral since he's going inside even though he knows to go outside and let you know he has to go outside. Have the vet check for UTI or stones of any kind and if that's all clear then contact a good in home dog trainer. Usually it's something the owner is or isn't doing that is the cause of housebreaking problems. I'm a dog groomer and to my customers w/ this problem I always refer them to my dog trainer and every time it is resolved with in home training and basic obedience lessons.

To get a dog to stop peeing in ur house wash to stop and put ammonia in ur house. This makes the dog think that the house is in someones else territory so he will not pee in the house anymore. This will not work on an old dog, and it must be done ever few weeks.

Maybe he just gets excited or he could have a bladder problem so you should end up going to the vet to get it checked out.
You might have to start to house train him all over again or take him to a trainer so he will get trained to go to the bathroom out side only

I'd contact your local vet. They can diagnose if this is just bad behaivior or taritorial issues. If it turns out to be taritorial it could turn aggressive so watch out and avoid phisical confrontation if doable.

Is he neutered? If not he may be marking his territory. Unnuetered males are more likely to go in the house than neutered males.

I know that for cats, you put their food where they just peed. They will never pee there again if they think food might be there. Might work for dogs????
