Help!

Hulk started to do something "new" a couple weeks ago, and we've tried everything, but nothing's worked!

He's started to urinate in his crate (he's in the crate during the day, while we're gone, and at night), and when we wake up, or get home, he's covered in his own urine. At first we thought it was a UTI, but we took him to the vet, they ran the tests, and that's not it.

We've tried being super regular with his potty schedule (when we wake up, before we leave, when we get home, and right before bed), and that didn't help.

The only other thing we can think of, is that we're in the process of moving, and the house is in complete disarray (boxes all over the place, stuff not where it used to be, his favorite sniffing spots are covered by loads of boxes), but are not sure that'd drive him to pee himself.

Has anyone ever dealt with this before? All my searching (google, here, etc) says, "check your dog for a UTI", but Hulk doesn't have one...so we're at wit's end!

PLEASE HELP!!!!
