Hello. It is possible that this is some type of separation anxiety issue. The first thing to rule out is the chance this is a urinary tract infection, so a veterinary exam may be needed to rule out a few things. For the most part, if this is an anxiety problem, once these puppies are well house trained, the behavior will stop. But do mention this to your vet at Teddy's next veterinary visit.
