I'm looking for some help and at this point, not sure who to ask so I'm posting on here.
I have a 2 year old Yorkie-Poo, he's about 9lbs, well fed and loves playing outside and going to nice long runs. In the past 6 months he has just been going over board with urinating in the house. Not because he has too but anytime someone talks to him, looks at him and reaches down to pet him. And I don't mean a little tinkle, today, as many other days, I've had to pull out the mop and bucket and use 2 rolls of bounty paper towel (the real thick stuff) to clean his mess. The worst part is that he knows he has done something wrong and goes straight to his kennel, opens the door and lays down. Not to the door because he has to pee but to his kennel. It's to the point that I, his owner, can't even bend down and pet him without him peeing everywhere!!
My mom, who plays with him every time she comes over and is always feeding him from the table (I know it's bad but I don't have kids yet so I guess that's how she deals), bends over to pet him and he pees! I can't even put his leash on him anymore inside my house to take him for a walk without him peeing all over the place. He's been to the vet, got blood tests, thyroid tests, and about $1,800 worth of tests and NOTHING!!
He isn't fixed yet, and I'm wondering if this could be why but I'm reluctant to have it done if this is a problem that is going to be persistent. My dad said that I should have him put down as this is a problem my uncle had with a dog before and he had to do the same thing. My dog has done the K9 puppy school about 1.5 years ago and passed with flying colors. He listens great and does what you ask. When I ask him to go to bed he even opens his kennel door and lays down. I'm just so sad with his recent change in behaviour I'm not sure what to do and hope that someone can help...if they read it all.
Thanks!!
