Thanks everyone for the advise, I have already thought of that & is on the to do list although I do not believe this to be the root of the problem. Jasper is very strong willed (as are all Basenji from what I'm learning) but from the start he has had a very bad habit of retaliating when he 'does not get his way'. I just got home from a friends house who has a dog & Jasper came to me said hello & then turned around jumped on my bed & wet. Our trainer has suggested I find a Basenji rescue group in the past but I decided to keep trying with him. Any other suggestions other than a UTI, that involve training ideas etc?

Hello, I am new to this forum & am so glad I found it. I have a male basenji, Jasper, who is a little over a year old. Recently (in the past couple weeks) he has started peeing on my bed & blankets I keep on the couch. I'm not sure if this is his way of 'getting back at me' for something or a health problem, he is 100% house broken. I have bells on the front door that he rings when he needs to go out & he does let me know. He has also been altered when he was 7 mo. old so he never really learned how to mark though I guess that could be what he is doing as well. I'm not sure what is causing him to do this or how to stop it. He runs when I try to correct him, overall he is a handfull. I could really use some advice.
