Thank you everyone for all the great advice. This is my first pet, so I've got more to learn. Now that I know about this site, I might be posting more questions later. And maybe eventually, actually be able to help out with some suggestions of my own.

Thanks Again!!!!

Hey everyone!!

I'm new to this site. Seems really neat. Here's my situation. I have a nearly 2 year old male chocolate lab and he's the most kind and affectionate dog I've ever been around.
He's just great in every way except one. He's constantly peeing little squirts in various spots around the house. He was very easily house trained when we got him at first, and I'm sure he realizes that he must go outside to "potty" because he never poops in the house nor does he completely empty himself out inside the house. It's always just a little bit as if to mark his territory. And every time I find a fresh spot, I call him over,( and I can tell he knows what he's done because I'm not using a strict tone at this  point, and he already holds his head down in shame.) I  show him the "spot", talk to him in a strict tone, and  he walks himself to his cage and I lock him in for a while. But despite the punishment, we find a fresh spot the next day.           
He hasn't been neutered yet because we had the intention of finding him a mate, but that fell through. So now, even though neutering him at his age may not solve the problem( wich I was not aware of, by the way) I still made an appointment to get it done in two weeks from now because I heard it helps prevent other complications later on. So the big question is : If neutering him doesn't change his squirting habits, what the heck do I do???

Thanks for hearing me out. javascript:void(0);
