[NAGDU] New guide dog is urinating in living room on hard wood floors.

[Lauren Bishop]

Good Afternoon,
I would make an appointment with the vet to make sure their is not a health issue.
Definitely a good idea to get the puppy raiser involved; however, I would advocate for a trainer to come see you.  You want to make sure that your dog is not stressed out or anything like that.
Thanks,
Lauren
