Question
Hi! Our dog is a 3 year old english bulldog his name is meatball. Ever since we got meatball he has pee ed on couches, chairs, beds, our clothes, floors, even his bed. I dont know how or if the is a problem that can me fixed. Please help!

Answer
I'm wondering how old he was when you got him? If he was an adult, did the previous owner have the same problems? If not, this could be a separation anxiety thing maybe.  

Regardless what the cause, it's a nasty habit that needs to stop. Put him in a crate with nothing in it for bedding and don't let him out in your house unless you can supervise his every move. The minute he starts to pee on something it's a harsh shake by the nape of the neck, Yell "NO!" in most serious voice, and toss him outside.... and back in the crate when he comes in. You will have to be very consistant and hyper vigilant if you want to stop this.  When he spends time out of his crate without peeing, make sure you offer up plenty of praise.

I'm hoping this dog is neutered. If not, that's first, training next. This isn't going to be easy but you can do it.
