My 9 month old Aussie, who is fully potty trained, will be walking around the house and just start peeingjng as he's walking. He doesn't seem to know it's happening. What could be causing this?

Inappropriate elimination like this can indicate a urinary tract infection, or complications controlling the flow of urine from the bladder. In order to narrow-down the cause of this, you will have to take Tucker to be evaluated by a veterinarian. The vet will be able to analyze the urine and narrow-down the cause of this. Once the cause is understood, there are medications that can be prescribed to help control this behavior. I hope that helps and Tucker gets better soon.
