Hello all. I haven't posted here in a long time, but I am having problems with my 5 year old male Yorkie.

We have never had issues with him, as he has been completely (day and night) potty trained since about 5 months old. (We've had him since 3 months) usually he will bark at us or come pat us and run to the door when he needs to go outside. But lately he has been peeing all over the house, in different spots, but mostly the kitchen, and mostly at night. Occasionally during the day, in plain sight of us. When he does this, I bring him to the spot he peed in and say NO, BAD BOY. and tell him to go away.

Yesterday, and once before this, when I carried him over to the wet spot, he yanked his head back and bit me. He broke my skin, and was acting very aggressively. He has done this once before, about three months ago. I swore that if the dog ever bit me or my family members, we would have to give him away, cause that means he has lost all respect for me. (maybe that is a myth you can clarify) But I can't just give him away without trying something else.

What can I do? Please help. He is usually well mannered with us, playful and everything, but I don't know what's gotten into him lately.
