When I first got my dog, he was fine. He was perfectly potty trained, everything was great. Then a month later he started peeing in the house. Not all the time but often. We knew it was insecurity and fear of abandoment, a strange new environment, etc. We never caught him, it was always in the middle of the night. We have a dog door, and he knew how to use it, so it wasn't a matter of letting us know.So what I did was stop letting him have water after 8 o'clock at night, and at 10, right before going to bed, I would take him outside and sit with him until he peed (then wait a few minutes, otherwise they start prolonging the peeing thing so you'll play with them longer).Then the very first thing in the morning, I'd throw on some clothes and immediately go outside (his potty break came before mine!). He was much better after that. The problem was, he (and your dog I'm sure) was very insecure about this new environment, so he wanted to never leave his people, because he was afraid we'd disappear. So he was afraid to go outside. But as long as I was with him outside, he'd stick to his potty training.
