go to the pet store and buy "bitter apple spray" spray it anywhere the dog goes, they dont like the smell or taste. It wont hurt the furniture or your tile.

Male dogs have a need to "mark" their territory. If he hasn't been neutered, then I would have that done if you aren't using him for breeding. He maybe going all over the house during the day as well as at night. Crate him or confine him to a small area when you aren't playing with him..Dogs won't generally go to the potty where they "stay". As for the stains, if it is on tile try some Clorax.

Submissive Urination

Submissive urination occurs when a dog feels threatened. It may occur when he's being punished or verbally scolded, or when he's approached by someone he perceives to be threatening to him. It's important to remember that this response is based on the dog's perception of a threat, not the person's actual intention. Submissive urination may resolve as your dog gains confidence. You can help to build his confidence by teaching him commands and rewarding him for obeying. You should also gradually expose him to new people and new situations and try to make sure all of his new experiences are positive and happy.

Your Dog May Be Submissively Urinating If:

Urination occurs when he's being scolded.

Urination occurs when he's being greeted.

Urination occurs when someone approaches him.

He is a somewhat shy, anxious or timid dog.

He has a history of rough treatment or punishment after the fact.

The urination is accompanied by submissive postures, such as crouching or rolling over and exposing his belly.

What To Do If Your Dog Has A Submissive Urination Problem:

Take your dog to the vet to rule out medical reasons for the behavior.

Keep greetings low-key.

Encourage and reward confident postures from him.

Give him an alternative to behaving submissively. For example, if he knows a few commands, have him "sit" or "shake" as you approach, and reward him for obeying.

Avoid approaching him with postures that he reads as dominant, for example:

Avoid direct eye contact -- look at his back or tail instead.

Get down on his level by bending at the knees rather than leaning over from the waist and ask others to approach him in the same way.

Pet him under the chin rather than on top of the head.

Approach him from the side, rather than from the front, and/or present the side of your body to him, rather than your full front.

Don't punish or scold him - this will only make the problem worse.

Excitement Urination

Excitement urination occurs most often during greetings and playtime and is not accompanied by submissive posturing. Excitement urination usually resolves on its own as a dog matures, if it's not made worse by punishment or inadvertent reinforcement.

Your Dog May Have An Excitement Urination Problem If:

Urination occurs when your dog is excited, for example during greetings or during playtime.

Urination occurs when your dog is less than one year old.

What To Do If Your Dog Has An Excitement Urination Problem:

Keep greetings low-key.

Don't punish or scold him.

To avoid accidents, play outdoors until the problem is resolved.

Take your dog to the veterinarian to rule out medical reasons for the behavior.

Ignore him until he's calm.

either crate train him for bedtime or put him in a small utility room where you don't care so much about the floor. vinegar will help remove the urine smell because they will usually go back to the same area to pee again. check your pet store or vet for products to remove the yellowing. you might try oxyclean.

Crate him at night. If he is good thru the day, then put him in a crate at night and contain him while you are sleeping.

I have never seen pee, leave stains on tile??
