Thankyou very much for taking the time to reply! i'll look into talking to a behaviourist.

I have a male 2½ year old Miniature Schnauzer, by the name of Kaiser (pronounced Ky-zer). I have owned him since he was 9 weeks old. We lived in country NSW until he was 1 year old then we moved to the suburbs in TAS. I toilet trained him from the age of 9 weeks til he stopped having accidents in the house when he was about 5 months old. When we moved to TAS he had a few accidents in the new house, only urine, and it only happened about 5 or so times in 5 months. We then moved to another place where he lived completely outside for 11 months, so no accidents could have happened. One month ago we moved again, into a house with a cat and he now lives inside and is taken on a daily walk & is let out into a small paved backyard mornings & evenings to do his business. The cat (who he’s now friends with) gave him a lot of trouble for the first week or two, chasing him and such. The first week of living there he had no accidents at all but then one night Kaiser urinated whilst possibly running from the cat, we didn't see what happened but didn't know why he was running and urinating so we figured the cat had chased him. Since then he's urinated in the house over 10 times (despite having been taken out shortly prior to the incidents). The first two times we thought it was as a result of an interaction with the cat, however, on the third occasion the cat was no where near, but he didn’t lift his leg and ended up getting urine on himself. The fourth time, he randomly went into my flat mate’s room and urinated. Following these occurrences I took him to the vet, who concluded that there was nothing wrong with his urine sample. One day when I had not walked him, I was standing in the kitchen and he lifted his leg and urinated on me. He's a neat little guard dog, no one comes to our door without us knowing. He LOVES other animals and can play for hours and hours, but he's not so fond of people, he loves me to death and a few select people but strangers are not welcome in our house according to him. When we had a male visitor, Kaiser was very wary and afraid of him, and urinated out of fear during a playful interaction. After this, he returned and attempted to urinate on the guest. More recently, he urinated on me again when I returned home very early in the morning very drunk. He had also urinated in the house, despite being taken out before I’d gone out 5 hours earlier. I have been trying to do the Triangle of Temptation with him, but don’t appear to be getting any results. Any advice would be much appreciated!
