My dog pees inside, has strong urine, won't go out. UTI or old age?

Question

My adult female dog recently started urinating in the house. Her urine is very strong. She goes to the door like she wants to go out but then wont go. So when she does urinate it is a massive amount. Is this due to old age? Not sure what to do. I'm pretty sure she has a UTI, but that doesn't explain why she won't go outside. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed

Pepper's symptoms could be due to a urinary tract infection, crystals in the urine, stones in the urinary tract, a mass, or toxin ingestion. It is important that you have Pepper seen by a veterinarian to help determine the cause of the signs and to start treatment. If you notice her straining to urinate/unable to produce urine, this is a medical emergency and can be life threatening. She may be avoiding going outside due to pain/discomfort associated with urinating, or she may be unable to go, indicating a potential emergency situation.
