Dog Pees In House

19 10:42:21

Question
My daughter has a one year old male yorkie. We take him out to potty and he does. Then he will come in and less than an hour he will pee on a chair or upstairs on the wooden doors. What can we do?

Answer
Try taking him outside ever 40 minutes or so. Also, it sounds like he is lifting his leg- is he neutered? If not, he may be marking his territory on those items, in which case, this isnt a housebreaking issue but a dominance one. You should neuter him ASAP, or if he is a show dog and you need to keep him intact, use a belly band.
