I would like to find out WHY he does this. I like like the tshirt Idea. I think I will try that and see if it helps. Hey...the only thing he has never peed on is ME! It just might work!
I talked to my vet because I had similar problems with Harley. The vet's explaination was because of his environment before I got him. He said 8-12 weeks is a critical time in them forming habits. The people I got Harley from kept several puppies together in a small kennel therefore he got accustomed to pee & poop being in the kennel and it didn't bother him.
I ended up getting one of those exercise pens so that he had more room than in the kennel. I used a shower curtain liner to cover and protect my carpet. Now when I'm at work he has plenty of room for his bed, a place for his water & food bowl a little area to play and then his pee pad area. He's four months now and isn't potty trained yet ... but at least he doesn't lay in his mess anymore.
