Dog keeps peeing inside the house. Been going on for too long.

We've ruled out any medical conditions like a UTI, so it's probably behavioural. He was doing it when no one is home, and even if he was fenced off in the laundry, he'd do it in there.

I'm here thinking it's a separation anxiety thing. I went over to my aunt's house who recently got a puppy. He peed in front of us. Maybe it's a fear thing.

Either way, it's driving my mum insane. We've done the whole take his water away thing, positive reinforcement for when he goes outside, yet he still has accidents. I don't know if we can call them accidents anymore.

Yay to a potential vet trip :)
