Inappropriate urination occurs when a dog regresses to urinating inside the house. This behavior is more common in male dogs that have not been neutered, although it can occur in non-neutered dogs and cats. The first thing to rule out is inappropriate urination that occurs when there is an underlying health problem which is causing a dog to urinate inside the house. It may have lost control of the muscles in its bladder or sphincter, or there may be an infection (UTI) or other condition as drinking too much (seen in many medical conditions) that is making it difficult for the dog to hold it in long enough to get outside. When a medical caused has been ruled out we can think about the second type of inappropriate urination which is behavioral (such as marking). I recommend to take Bakar to the vet with a "fresh" urine sample to first check or rule out medical causes. Hope this helps and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Unfortunately this may only get worse. This is the product of two adult male dogs each trying to mark territory as their own. I know that neutering is difficult for some people to imagine, but in many cases dogs are much more content once neutered. They are not so driven by hormonal urges and are often calmer. Additionally, the risk for cancer later in life goes down significantly. I think it would help a lot in your situation. It would also be important to rule out urinary tract infections, although given wheat you are describing this seems less likely.
