My dog is 5 years old and has been toilet trained since he was 6 months old. Recently he has been peeing around the house. Why is this happening and what can i do to stop this behaviour? There has not been any new pets and/or any stressful changes at home.

haha does you're dog pee in the toilet? Children are toilet trained, not dogs.

Many of the people responding are looking at the obvious, new pet, marking territory, etc. However, if you have not introduced any new pets, your problem may be medical. It is not uncommon for dogs at this age to develop diabetes or get a bladder infection. These too could result in your pet having this behavior. The vet can check this with a simple blood and or urine test.
Now, assuming the dog is marking, has medical conditions or lets say being just plain spiteful or disobedient, you must correct the urine stained areas. Animals have a tendency to return to the same areas. Get some "Nature's Miricle" to deodorize the area. Otherwise, you dog will continue to use these spots over and over. An important reminder that if the animal soaked a couch or pillow, you must poor equal amounts of the deodorizer onto the affected area. It is important to neutralize the area completely.
I hope you find a solution as this can be a real deal breaker for many pet owners. Good luck.

If your dog is always in the house,then he thinks
he is the owner and picks a spot wherever he
feels like, and if he is outside more, then when the
dog comes inside it marks it's territory because
the dog knows it won't be there long. To stop is
very difficult unless you start keeping it outside
more and monitor it when it comes in the house.
My male poodle stays out more than my female
poodle and the male needless to say marks it's
territory when inside the house, and even though
I monitor it , it still gets away with it every once and
a while, and it was potty trained also. Good luck
on this one as it is almost impossible to stop the
dog once it has marked a spot, if you know what
I mean. Monitoring will help but we can't watch
a dog every second and that is all it takes to mark
the spot. Good luck.

Don't take her out randomly, take her outside on a time table or inside a couple of hours upon getting seen she has been gulping water. If she is going to the lavatory in your house its when you consider that she has to go to the toilet and has no where else to move. Of course the other alternative, corresponding to one of the vital other posters mentioned. Is that she can have some variety of bladder obstacle, a routine checkup with the vet certainly not hurts whatever.

I agree with the other posters, a urinary tract infection, that's the first thing I'd think. It's easy enough to check with a urine specimen (first morning catch) or the vet will draw urine at the office. It's an easy fix with antibiotics. Good luck.

Have you suffered any stressful episodes at all recently, moved, new pet, arguments at home? Maybe he has an infection, have you thought maybe of getting him checked at the vets to ensure its not a medical problem?

Take her outdoors extra in many circumstances. 3 or 4 circumstances an afternoon isn't sufficient. human beings use the lavatory better than 3-4 circumstances an afternoon and he or she is slightly canine with a small bladder. by utilizing having injuries she is telling you she needs to pass outdoors extra in many circumstances.

Maybe something in the dogs routine has changed and he doesn't like this. when we took my dogs blanket away it started digging, which it had never done before. when we gave it back the dog she stopped digging. i suggest you investigate possible causes for this and then work out where to go from there.

Anything new or stressful can cause this to happen, or, if he isn't neutered, the scent of a female in heat. The female can be nearly a mile away.
Family arguments and stressed relationships will cause this, too.

take him to the vet and have a urinalysis done.. its possible that is a UTI, or a kidney problem.
When a housebroken dog suddunly starts urinating in the house, UTI is the first thing to check for.
