Our 10 month old bulldog, Winston, has recently started peeing in his crate

and then licking it up! This is a new behavior for him. He also used to love his dog bed but once we washed it, he peed on it and then licked it up. We washed it again and he did the same thing so we just took it away. Now he's moved on to doing this in his crate.

Please don't take offense to this question: Is he punished for having accidents in the house?

No, he doesn't even have accidents in the house. He has been trained for quite a while now. It's like he's doing it intentionally.

I don't know about intentions....I've heard there are times when dogs revert back to their puppy hood - realizing he's only 10 months old, mind you.
Could it be an infection? Does he have full access to water? I've heard of dogs peeing but not licking it up...that's what confuses me

I don't believe he has an infection. He seems fine and he doesn't do it all the time. And yes, water is always out.

He is REALLY cute...it couldn't possibly be him

Good luck!
