Hi all,

I have a 16-week old male Yorkie who I've had about three weeks in my house. we have the kitchen closed off and about 85% of the time, he goes in his "spot" when someone is in the kitchen or within a range he can see someone. However, when he is alone, he will pee on the floor away from his "spot." He almost always pees in this one spot by a gate we have to enclose his area.

We have tried positive reinforcement -- awarding treats when he pees in his "spot" and saying "NO" when he pees in the wrong places. We have also used oxy-based cleaners (everything from Mr. Clean to specific cleaners bought at Petco), but he still goes in that same area when he is left alone.

Any ideas as to how we can get him to stop?

Thanks
