Thank you for submitting your question regarding your dogs. First you will need to separate all the dogs to determine which one is going in the house. You can crate two and allow one free access of the home and then rotate dogs. You could confine them all to separate rooms as well. Once you determine which dog it is, then you need to make an appointment with your veterinarian. There are a variety of conditions that will cause inappropriate urination. A urine sample will need to be tested and blood work may be recommended as well. If a disease is found, then treatment can be started. If not, then behavioral issues will be discussed. I hope this information helps!
