Anyways, I have three theories:
1) Like Catnapper mentioned, puppies usually go right after they awake from a nap. That "lazy sitting position" sounds pretty darn close to what a female dog looks like before she goes potty (young males often urinate like females). Therefore, it's a possibility that you're misinterpreting his signals. For the first month, I misinterpreted Giselle's signals and I ended up having to completely remove the living room rug.

2) Dogs like soft surfaces to urinate in. Many dogs (including Giselle) have urinated/defecated on the couch because soft surfaces soak up moisture the quickest in the wild. This is why I have one less loveseat There is nothing you can do but take him out frequently and stopping him if you see him in the act. It might also be a good idea to not let him on the couch for awhile.

3) He's marking his territory. Is Cainan neutered yet? If not, I would suggest doing so as soon as possible and cleaning the bajeezus out of your couch so that no remnants of his scent remain. However, it doesn't sound like marking because you said that he urinates in a sitting position. Nonetheless, I would still suggest cleaning and scrubbing that couch down!
