Why does my dog keep peeing on the same couch even after going out?

Question

There is one couch that my dog pees on repeatedly, even if he’s just been out. It’s not an accident — he just does a little squirt rather than emptying his bladder. Why does he do this and how can I get him to stop? I clean it with an enzymatic cleaner every time so it doesn’t smell.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. This is so frustrating and I feel for you! This is clearly a behavioral problem rather than a medical one. To be honest, I’d recommend moving the couch to another room and then shutting the door and keeping Sirius out for a few weeks. Hopefully, that stops the problem, and breaks the cycle, though he may still decide to try on that couch any time he is able. Eventually you may even want to consider getting rid of the couch, depending on how it’s going. Best wishes to you and Sirius.
