Need serious advice... frustrated to no end.

Great minds think alike!!

If the change of diet and peeing started at the same time, it might be the food. Maybe something in the food is making him more thirsty - more thirst - more pee. Maybe you should change him back. Neutering may have a hand in it too. But that would be temporary. It sounds like it has something to do with the food change.

Hi, I thought about the food change being a part of the problem, but I really don't want to switch him back. He was on Iams and now he is on Innova Evo and I love the quality of the new food so much more... he went to the vet the other day and they ran a full blood workup on him, results should be back by Friday. Vet said he is healthy and happy, and the urine test should nothing, so we'll see on Friday!

As for flunking puppy class, he was just to young for structured classes.
Some dogs stay at the puppy stage longer than others. I would have waited
till 6 mos and tried it again. Glad you got a refund on class fees.

Have you ever put on a raincoat and walked Nobas in the rain? Not pouring
buckets or anything, just normal rain. I often wonder what those living in apartment buildings do when their dogs need to be outside for awhile.

Actually, Noba does have a raincoat... but he absolutely refuses to wear it and go outside in it... maybe it's because it's yellow with duckies??? Who knows... But it's a huge struggle to get him out in the rain. I open the door and if he can see or hear the rain, he pulls and pulls and pulls until he goes back inside...

Anyway, I'm happy to report that the blood work on the hound came back fine, and his behavior has improved even slightly since he's been getting exercise the last few days... he's so tired, he can't act up!!!

We actually do live in an apartment, a HUGE apt at that... so he has plenty of space to himself... when he needs to go outside and be out there for a while, I just put on his leash and let him go. It works out fine for both of us...
