Lately, he's been taking advantage of pissing in the house. He didn't used to do this, and we take him out regularly... 2 times a day at strict schedule. I'm guessing it's because he hasn't been fixed yet...
I'm confused..2xs a day? I don't think thats what you meant right? I don't think he is saving his pee for inside. Little dogs pee a lot, they have to learn to hold it longer. This is why I crate train my dogs. When I am at work my puppy is in his crate. He olds it from 8am until I come home for lunch at 1pm. He is slowly learning and training his bladder to hold it, just like a toddler must learn to hold it until he/she can get to a potty. At first they pee in their pants cuz they don't understand but eventually they learn. Same with pups (even some older dogs). It isn't realistic to expect a small toy breed to hold it like a Golden Retriever, but they can learn not to go every minute. When out on a walk my guy must lift his leg like 30 xs. 1/2 of the time nothing is even coming out anymore. When you take him out and he pees maybe stay out a bit longer and let him sniff around and see if he has to go more before you bring him in?
