If you can't find a way to get him to stop then try "doggie diapers"..... Since it's a male just measure around his middle. Add 3 inches. Then measure from the hind leg to rib cage. Add 1/2 inch on each side for seam. This will be a rectangle shape when done. Using cotton fabric, cut 2 pieces. Sew them together, turn, close seam, edge stitch at 1/4 inch. On each end add velcro. It needs to be the width of the diaper. Line the diaper with ultra thin feminine pads(I use wal-mart brand), using the sticky side towards the cotton so it stays in place. You may need tro fold the pads wings in. Depends on how they're made. Hold the diaper, pad side up, under dog, wrap up & over dogs back, secure velcro. When putting this on your dog it needs to be snug. I've been using these for over 20 years on my dogs. I used to breed toy poodles & there's no way with 8 adult dogs as breeders, but in house as pets/family, that I could house break the males. The diapers are machine washable too. Each of my dogs has their own color. They have also never minded wearing them.
Older dogs often end up with weak bladder issues or kidney disease, which can take awhie, to show problems.
