Also he has started turning over his water bowl ALL the time. He's 5 months old. Is it testosterone? Do I need to get him fixed earlier than June? He's just being a HUGE pill lately. Nothing has changed in our routine, or in his environment.
Thanks for the help

I have two girls, but I've heard that neutering helps with the random peeing everywhere. Since he's 5 months old-he's close to the right age for neutering. You might ask your vet if you can have it done sooner than June. It really depends on his development and size, etc.
The good (or maybe not good) news is that this seems normal to me. Emma (1 year) did this, from about 5 months until 9 or 10 months. Now she's very reliable about peeing on her pads. Milli (4.5 mo.) came to us mostly pad trained, and we're outdoor training her as well-but she too has many accidents. This breed is NOT known for being easily potty trained.
Hang in there, I think they get better as they get a little older.
