Why is my house-trained dog peeing small drops on furniture?

Question

My Kyzer is toilet trained however recently he pee at various corners of my furniture. Not a lot but a few drops. How can I stop this habit. Pet's info: Dog | Toy Poodle | 4 years and 2 months old

You didn't mention if Kyzer is neutered or not, but it sounds like he may be marking the furniture. Marking is a very common and normal behavior for intact male dogs. You have a few options. Neutering an intact male dog can solve the problem, but it is best to do ASAP. You could also consider a belly band (https://www.bellybands.net/ ) which will stop him from actually urinating on the furniture. Another option to kennel train him when he isn't supervised in the house in order to stop the behavior or keep him on a leash in the house, so you can constantly keep an eye on him and make him stop if he starts to lift his leg. You will also need to clean the furniture with an enzymatic cleaner to remove the smell. Finally, I would recommend having your veterinarian check a urine sample on him to make sure there isn't a medical reason for him urinating in the house. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and gives you some ideas. Thanks for using PetCoach.
