My best friend has a crazy black lab and a 6 month old baby. Recently, the dog started peeing on the floor and even on the couch.
Her husband refused to believe it because he never saw the dog doing it, but when the couch started smelling like piss, he finally had to admit it. It's disgusting and ridiculous and I have no idea what they are going to do when this baby starts walking.
All this said, I firmly believe that it's because they don't control this dog in general. The dog is rewarded with attention EVERY time it does something bad (oh, you silly dog, you aren't supposed to jump on visitors! pet pet pet snuggle) and is NEVER punished for doing something wrong.
It also only goes outside to pee/poop. They never go out and play with the dog.
Sounds like your situation isn't as severe, but probably the same basic underlying issues with the treat increase, etc.
