I should know this, but i just dont!

If he's not allowed on the couch, he's not able to pee on it. If the couch is the only issue, maybe wait until he's fully potty trained to allow him up there. Or maybe he just kind of forgot, my puppy does that every once in a while.

Also, when I first got my puppy, I put a blanket in the crate with him. Woke up the next morning, he had peed all over it. I took the blanket out, left him in there just on the pan, and he hasn't had an accident in there since then. If they can't really feel it (like a puddle) they may pee on it.

lol, puppies are fun aren't they?

my dog has started doing something similar, when i let her outside i have taught her to sit down so i can put the leash on her. starting about 2 days ago she starts peeing before i can get the leash on her. i did an experiment( because i figured she just really had to go and couldn't hold it anymore the first time) where i would play with her and let her drink water and everything. i noticed the only time she pees while i am attempting to put the leash on is after she wakes up, no matter how long she is asleep. i tried to curb this by pulling her head upwards while i put on her collar so that she has to plant her rear end on the floor, but she still pees, even though she is sitting in it, weird huh?

note : this is IMMEDIATELY after she wakes up, i take her out, not making her hold it or anything, i wonder if dogs are just groggy and don't realise they are peeing ( kind of like kids that wet the bed).

anyways, hang in there, i'm sure he will grow out of it.

We had to be carefully to not pet Lou Lou when she first woke up or she would pee. He is still pretty young. Lou Lou is 11 months now, house trained but if she might have to pee and we pet her, we will have a puddle to clean up! He will out grow it! Clean the couch really good and good luck with your little guy!
