My wife and I are having a serious issue with our dog urinating in our landing. He goes on the corners of the doorframes i.e. on the wooden trim. I can easily replace the trim if needbe, however I want to try and stop this if possible. He is also going on a wooden "dresser" type thing (my wife would know what it is calleD) that was given to us as a wedding gift.
I am gone all day at work but my wife typically comes home to let him out once or twice. I guess there really is no pattern as to why he does this. Generallly, when he needs to go he start running/walking around as if he were looking for something. After a long day of being home by himself, we generally come home to find that he has not had an accident.
Is there anything we can do to help break this habit? We rarely catch him doing it. I was told it is wrong to discipline him unless we actually catch him in the act. If that is the case, he is pretty good about obeying the "outside" command. It seems like he thinks it is ok to go in those areas.
