My pincher dog keeps peeing on my cloth, couch.When before he never did that..Why?

He was potty trained, but he keeps doing it
Answers:
I agree that your dog may have some issues if there is anything new in the house - people, plants, furniture.

Go one step further - has anything changed in your dog's life or routine? Different schedule, new person, different food?

Has anything strange been spilled or in contact with that couch?

If the answer is no to all of the above, and assuming, of course, that your dog has been given the opportunity to do his business outside, your next step should be to take your dog to the vet to rule out a medical problem.

How old is your dog? Just like people, a dog's bladder loses strength with age, and they need out more often.

If your vet clears your dog medically, you might want to seek help from a professional trainer to find out what's up.

Good luck!
he probably has a urinary tract infection, and the vet will be able to tell and clear it up
Is he nuetered? If not he needs to be because hes marking his territory
Has anything "new" come into the house? New furniture, new animals, new people..etc. Some dogs dont do well with "change". and a way to 'deal' with that, is by marking their territory. (by pee'ing around the house.)
It could be "dog anxiety". If your routine has changed or his. Also, like the others have said, did anything new come into the house?
