Dog Peeing and Pooping Inside?

I have two dogs. The older one is Nate and we got him from the humane society. He was already house broken and is the best dog, but when my husband and I got married my grandparents gave us another dog and we named him Bear. He got house trained pretty quickly since he was a puppy and could follow Nate's lead. Now the problem is my husband and I are expecting our first child and we noticed Bear has started peeing on all the baby stuff.

So we got him fixed since he hadn't been fixed yet, hoping that would help, but now he's peeing and pooping at night by the bedroom door. We have tried letting him out longer at night and early in the morning, but it's still happening and I'm almost at the end of my rope. Any suggestions would be great.

Bear may have a medical or behavior problem that you can help. Please take him to your vet for a medical check to make sure he is medically OK. Your vet can then provide good suggestions to help you help your dog.

You say Nate is the best dog, and mention that Bear was given to you. You obviously consider Nate "your" dog and consider Bear the "other" dog.

Bear knows you are having your own child and is worried about what his place in the family will be. He's already feeling insecure about his place in your home. Nate isn't worried because you favor him, and he doesn't see why the baby would change this.

If you honestly only wanted one dog in the first place, I suggest you re-home Bear to a loving home. You will have even less time for him with the baby and his problems will continue. Another family may see him as that dog they've always wanted instead of the dog they were given but didn't choose.
If you really want Bear, however, stop favoring Nate. Bear needs to feel secure. An insecure dog should not be allowed around a baby.
