So my Maximus has been doing pretty well up until a week ago - he was going on the potty pad 90% of the time. But this past week, I noticed two very strange things.

1) He has been going often within a short amount of time (after holding it for a few hours in his crate, he will come out and pee every 15 minutes, five times!) . I do monitor his water by having him drink on a schedule, and he does not have a Urinary Tract Infection, so I'm confused as to why he doesn't let it all go at once.

2) He's been developing a habit of going without warning! The first three weeks I had him he would sniff around and that would give me a few seconds to take him to the potty pad. But now he's been just walking, no sniffing--he stands there and just pees on the carpet without warning!

So I'm confused why he's going pee without any warning. He's only four months old and doesn't lift his leg so I'm sure it's not marking.

Any thoughts or suggestions???
