Ok, Garrett is almost 6 months, and after trying pee pads only [not very successful], I started taking him outside and crating him overnight. He's doing really well, I just have to be VERY diligent. We have had very few accidents.
However......here's my problem - I cannot get him to stop sprinkling right BESIDE HIS FOOD BOWL!!!!



He also sprinkles beside my other dog's bowl. I guess it's marking, cause it's usually only a few drops of pee, and even if he just came in. Why does he do this

. I thought they wouldn't do that near their food source.
I've tried wiping the area with bleach or vinegar, to get rid of the urine scent, but he keeps doing it.
Help..............
