I've posted about this before. Amlet has many issues, but the one that is destroying my apt is his urination issue. Not so much the carpet, but all of the furniture he obsessively pees on. I have no idea why he is doing this, and therefore I don't know how to fully stop it. I have been able to control it more by crating him when we're not home (he is fully crate trained, and i can just say "crate" and he will walk right in and let the door shut), and just keeping an eye on him. He also goes outside more often then he used to. He originally was just doing this when we weren't around, but not today. Today, Tim was laying on the couch, amlet was on his lap chewing on a toy. Out of absolutely no where he jumped off the couch, lifted his leg, and peed on tim and his blanket. Tim had no idea what he was doing, and just started yelling no, then cleaned it up. What on earth would make him want to pee on him out of nowhere? There was no trigger. It seems like he is peeing more on Tims things than mine, but he does pee on the bottom of my computer chair. The other day, i guess we left the bedroom door open and amlet peed all over tim's pillow. He's peed all over every object in tims computer room. Is it something with Tim?  If we got a trainer to either come into our apt, or work with him outside, what would the trainer do? What is the issue here?

I'll  also let you know that Amlet has separation anxiety, and hates when Tim and I get too close. He doesn't get mad at one of us, he just wants to be between us. He never growls, he just barks and whimpers and moves in between us. He needs attention all the time too, but that has gotten better because he has to share with pumpkin. I need to do something with him, i'm just debating with handling this myself and taking him to basic obedience classes, or going all out and getting a trainer like I mentioned. There has got to be something that can fix this, though.

the dogs both have a vet appt friday, so i'm going to mention this. I really don't think its a health issue, but we can rule that out then. I just feel so terrible. I know I had something to do with this. I spoiled him as a puppy, and he probably needed more boundaries. Pumpkin shows none of these signs though, so I suppose thats good.

What should I do?
