sorry for the x-post, but i'm not sure if this issue is behavioral or
medical.

is it unusual for a male dog to urinate while walking? Manu does this
sometimes, in the house, and he doesn't even seem to notice it. could this
be a health problem? he did this when we first got him, and had finally
stopped for a couple of months (i thought due to training), but has started
again in the last few days. i'm kind of at a loss, as he asks to go out
when he needs to, and i thought he was housebroken. he doesn't lift a leg
when doing it, so it doesn't seem like typical marking. sometimes he will
walk the length of the hallway, just meandering along, as though he doesn't
even know he's leaving a trail behind him.

he's a 14 month old, neutered pit bull/lab mix, and became the second dog in
our household about six months ago.

any suggestions?

You may want to take a urine sample to the vet to test for a urinary tract
infection.
