Since you lot seem to have an answer for everything (in a good way!), I've recently had a problem with my dog squirting up against stuff in the house and was wondering why he is doing it and what I can try to get him to stop.
This is a "new" problem, the dog has just turned 8 and hasn't done anything like this in the 5 years I've had him, but the last week he's marked the TV stand (dangerously close to the HTPC), sofa, cooker and probably a few other places I haven't noticed yet.
I have been redecorating the living room lately, I've heard dogs don't respond well to their familiar surroundings being disturbed, so that's something that could be causing it. But saying that I've been doing stuff for the last 3 weeks or so and he's only started this week.
Some other facts (in case they are relevant):
He is home alone most days while I'm working 7:30-5:30, the Mrs is sometimes there when she's working nights as well.
I have another dog as a companion (sister from the same litter).
They have a dog flap so can freely use the garden whenever they please
He's still got a full bag of nuts
He's fit as a fiddle and full of energy
Border Collie/Springer Spaniel cross
I'm getting a new carpet & sofa before Christmas, so really don't want this to become a habit!
Any thoughts?
