If you have followed the advice from earlier on in this blog, maybe got a specific potty training ebook, or a general dog training book, and studied that and put into practice all the advice... and you still have problems, here are a couple of thoughts which might help!
Have you fully implemented your basic training which makes YOU the pack leader? If your puppy or dog does not believe that you are the pack leader, they could be suffering from separation anxiety whenever you leave them.
Why?
Because they firmly believe that they are leader of the pack, and therefore should be looking after YOU. If you go out, leaving them behind, they cannot fulfil this responsibility. They will be suffering from stress. If this IS the problem, it could be that they are peeing near or in the doorway through which you leave the house.
Could your dog be scent marking the area? [This is normally confined to un-neutered animals.]
In this case do clean up the area and eliminate the smell completely, maybe even keep your dog away from that particular area physically by putting something onto the area or around the area. Once the area has been sponged and dried - clean it completely with a mix of 50 x 50 of water and vinegar to eliminate all odour.
