How can I stop my adult dog from peeing on the couch when home alone?

My dog is now 7, when he was about 4, he started peeing on the couch when I'm not home. He knows its wrong, because on the days he pees on the couch, he will run outside as soon as I get home. How do I get him to stop if he only does it when I'm gone and I can't catch him in the act?

Answer
Very simple, put him in a room where there's no sofa to pee on or you crate him.

You need to neutralize, not just deodorize and clean - get pet urine neutralizer at the pet store or Walmart - that sofa now or your dog will continue to pee there as "his spot".

Baby gate him into a safe area if you don't crate train, why would you leave your dog to roam the house when he does that?
Make sure he doesn't have urinary tract infection, however, some dogs try to show you that by peeing where you'll notice it.

I bought a dog training crate it doesn't have a divider panel what can I use?

Yes

I bought this crate At Walmart as part of proceeds go to ASPCA.First I got the 36x28x30 for 8 week old boxer it just didn't seem big enough for when he gets bigger..I changed to the 42x28x30.

Answer
You can use a small square of chicken wire (Found at Home Depot, OSH, etc) and zip-tie it to the crate. (Assuming you bought a metal crate?)
