My trained puppy is peeing inside again. Training or health?

Question

I have a yorkie shih tzu 7 month puppy that was trained to pee outside he had been doing great until recently when he started peeing inside again when he does it’s in the same spot or close and he smells around before lifting his leg is this a training problem or should I see a vet for health issues?

If Oreo is doing it in the same spot and smells before doing it, I would say this is a training problem rather than a medical issue. If it was a medical issue, I would expect it would be in more random places. Try taking him out more often during the day, and after every meal. Stay with him outside until he goes. Now if this doesn't help the issue, he starts urinating all over the house, you see blood in his urine, and/or he becomes lethargic, then I would be concerned it is a medical issue. At that point, take him into the vet. Best of luck.
