New to the forum and I need some help.
We currently have two well mannered 4 year old Pit Bull mixes. We adopted them 2 years ago and when we brought them home, we had a couple random urination accidents in the house but nothing too bad and they were few and far between.
Fast forward to the last 2-3 months and we have one of the dogs who has decided it is time for him to start peeing in the house regularly. We have a finished basement and at least 2 times a week I will go down there and find a new spot where he has gone. I clean it up as best I can and he hits it again.
I need some help and some advice on how to get him to stop peeing on the carpet down there. I'm already at the point where I think the carpet is beyond saving and needs to be ripped up and replaced with something but we can't really afford that. It's just the one dog. The other doesn't ever pee in the house. They both go outside into our fenced backyard at least 4-5 times a day and sometimes when the weather is nice they stay out and play for an hour at a time so I don't think that's it's the fact that they are not out enough. I honestly believe that he does his business down there in the middle of the night while we're all sleeping.
Please help me!
