You should post this on the Canine board, too. Meanwhile, this is what I found. The third one applies to your dog, I believe. I guess he is having to adjust to his new territory and will be a little upset for a while. Good Luck with him. If your dog has been fine with its housetraining up till now, there may be several reasons for it to break with its training. 1.If there have been no major changes in its life, your dog may very well have a medical problem, such as kidney trouble. Have your vet rule out possible medical causes. 2.It may be trying to defend its territory if you have a new animal in the household. You will probably need to separate the pets for a while, and reintroduce them gradually. Provide each with a retreat area. 3.It may be generally upset or anxious if you've just moved and trying to assert ownership of the new territory. Mark your territory first: scatter dirty laundry around the house to tell your dog YOU'VE claimed the territory and your dog should subside. After a few days, you can pick up the laundry.
