We are going through a similar situation but he won't pee in front of me. I had to beg and plead to get this dog so this is not helping with winning my partner over. He hates the dog because of the piddles. I walk him and he pees, sometimes 2-3 times but when we come in it's hit or miss on if he'll piddle on the floor. IMO there isn't a reason for it but i'm at a loss for what to do. I've got to get it straightened out sooner rather than later or else i'll be forced to decide between my pup and my partner!
