Dog pees while walks

Question
My 8 month old beagle is for the most part potty trained. Yet he has started a new habit, peeing while walking. After he walks and pees he crouches down as if he's done something wrong. He's also starting to pee on our couch again after breaking him of that a long time ago. I need help. I'm losing it!

Answer
It could be an UTI or something.  Have the vet check him.  

Otherwise, neuter him if not already.  It is no cure all, but can be a big help.  

The key to most behavior problems is approaching things using the dog's natural instincts. Dogs see all the people and dogs in the household as a pack with each having their own rank in the pack and a top dog. Life is much easier if the 2 legged pack members outrank the 4 legged ones. You can learn to play the role of top dog by reading some books or going to a good obedience class. A good obedience class or book is about you being top dog, not about rewarding standard commands with a treat.
