Hey everyone–*I need advice!
My 3 year old Joey Buttons (who is not neutered) has suddenly decided to pee on every corner of my apartment. I've tried to catch him in the act and tell him NO– which he definitely understands because he makes this awful, sad face– yet he continues to do it.
The weird thing is: he NEVER peed in the house as a puppy. Even when I first got him- he figured out the pad/ pee schedule pretty quickly. He is super smart and typically extremely obedient.
Also- he only does it when my husband and I are home. When we're at work, he waits for the dog walker or he uses his pee-pad for emergencies.
Here's the caveat– I used to work from home and then got an office job back in September. He started this new behavior a couple months ago... am I right to think he's punishing me? Trying to tell me he's upset?
Either way, how do I get him to stop? I know he understands me when I say NO, but he continues to do it. I'm sick of yelling at him (he looks so sad!) so this isn't fun for either of us.
Any advice would be appreciated! I want my well-behaved *perfect* pup back!!!
