Default My yorkie pees when he's excited that I'm home! HELP!

Hi everyone,

Was wondering if anyone out there experienced something similar to this and if so, were they able to curb the problem.

Hudson is trained to go outside and can hold his pee for approx 5 hours at a time, as well as through the night. However, sometimes I'll step out for only an hour or 45 minutes and when I come home, I noticed he's peed on the front door!! It's not a lot of pee, so I think it's either marking or him being mad at me for leaving. I can't figure it out!! I also think it could be that he's excited when he hears the garage door go up when I come home and he gets super excited.

I don't know how to curb this and have thought about confining him to the bathroom when I'm gone since the majority of my house is carpet. Up till now, I've been leaving him in one of our spare bedrooms when I step out but he has accidents in there, again not a ton of pee, just a few little dribbles and always on the door or near the door. I've even been debating putting out pee pads but I know its challenging to train him to go there if he's already trained to go outside and I'm not even sure if it's that he can't hold his pee anymore.

THOUGHTS ANYONE?! Thank you!!!
