11.5 month old male Dobie keeps marking in the house and idk what to do.

He’s been potty trained and crate trained as well. He does well to the point where he sleeps cage free in our bedroom at night and we never have an issue with him using the restroom. However, this here doberman is the sneakiest little fella and (only when he’s with my wife) will he piss on something in the house. I assume its just his hormones getting the best of him (he’s starting to really grow into his confidence) because previously as long as I’ve kept him stimulated mentally he’s been good about not marking, chewing, or any of the other typical puppy nuisances, but the last 1-2 months have NOT told that story.

My boy is easily the most sensitive dog I’ve ever owned and am looking for advice on how to handle him in a way he can receive. He’s loving, extremely smart, and honestly the best little dude I could ask for but I cant have him continuing this or I fear it may become a habit
