Most Yorkies aren't housetrained at 6 months. That said, he shouldn't be peeing on the couch. Have you tried crate training? Are you giving rewards when she goes outside? He is not peeing because he is mad at you - don't don't even understand the concept of revenge. You just need to learn how to communicate with each other - you need to get through to him that he needs to go outside and he needs to learn to tell you when he needs to go out. Try to teach him to ring bells, but more importantly crate train him and tether him to you when he isn't crated. Don't allow him on any bed/couches until he is trained and clean up any accidents with an enzyme cleaner like Simple Solution. Good luck! Loki finally started to get it around 6-7 months and then we had some bladder issues but he was reliably trained by about 1 yr old.

Oh, and fixing him will definately help. Loki was fixed at 6 months and he never learned how to lift his leg. You don't want him learning to mark.
