Welcome to YT!

With the urinating in the house, did that just start recently? If so, he could have a urinary tract infection or another medical issue. If it's been a problem all along, he may just need to be worked with a little more. You may need to take him out more frequently. Is he neutered? If not, that may help as well. You can also buy belly bands so your house doesn't get soiled. You just need to change them frequently and keep him clean. They are a good solution though for dogs with pottying problems

Lacy also doesn't normally listen to me unless I have a treat in my hand. She's smart but stubborn. I'm sure she'd be better if I worked on her training more. Same with yours...just takes a little practice every day.

What kind of bowls do you have? I've heard that some dogs are afraid of stainless steel and others are allergic to ceramic. So you may want to try a new type of bowl or even a plate to put his food on.
