Puppy housebreaking trouble

Hello, I have a 7 month old english bulldog who has a mind of his own. He knows to use the bathroom outside yet for no reason he will just urinate all over the house. In front of every door in the house, on the tile, carpet, whereever and sometimes he will do it in front of us. Just squat and do his thing. If we see him we will call his name and he will stop in mid flow. We’ll take him right out but he dosen’t finish can anybody help me with this problem.

I have heard Bulldogs calles “stubborn”…but I like the Dog Whisperer’s desciption…he says they are “determined”…they were bred to be strong willed…to have a “do or die” attitude.

First, I’d get him checked to make sure there isn’t a physical reason he’s peeing…Is he still intact? He maybe marking…He may have a low grade UTI (urniary tract infection)…

If all that’s eliminated, I would suggest you go back to his puppy lessons, treating him no different than you did when he was a little guy…crate him when you cannot watch him every minute…instead of waiting for him to ask you to go out, you put him out every time he comes out of his crate, everytime he eats, several times during play…If he REALLY knew he should go out, he probably would…he may still be confused about it, so a refresher course might help.
