Adjusting to a new house?

First off I want to say Hi! I haven't been on here in quite some time. Been super busy with work and what-not. Anyways Brody is doing fantastic! He is getting so big and has quite the personality. However, we finally moved out of the cracker jack box we were living in (Thank the Lord) and moved into our new home which provides much more interior space to run around and play in but we now lack a fenced yard (soon to be resolved I hope). My question is Brody is now having accidents in the house, he has peed 4 different times in the house. Twice upstairs and twice downstairs.
Our neighbours who happen to be my wife's cousin has a puppy - mixed (not sure with what) who is around 7 months old came over and her and Brody were playing and she ran upstairs and peed in the floor since then he has had the accidents. So I really don't know if its from her or all the new changes going on that is causing this set back, has anyone else experienced this when moving into a new home?

On a side note he will still whine at the door to go poop its just the peeing where the issue resides.

*New pics to come soon, I promise*

Sounds like a new place and he's not sure of the proper protocol. He also learned from the female where to go! LOL Spray that area well with urine enzymes and any other place he went.

It's back to basics. He needs to learn when and where to go potty all over again. Take him out every hour, after playing, after eating, all that stuff, just as if you are housetraining a puppy.

He will learn rather quickly. It's sort of like hiding our toilet. Where would we go until we found it again?

Is Brody neutered? Could be that he is marking where the girl pup pee'd. My last boxer never pee'd in the house once he was house broken. He was around a female dog that was coming into heat. After that he pee'd in the house until we got him neutered.

Yes Brody is nuetured but he still hikes that leg up and pees on stuff, not sure if he is really marking or what but oh well...

We broke down and bought a carpet cleaner (best investment ever) and some pet formula for it and cleaned the areas where he peed very well. Our old house also did not have carpet it was all hard wood and the new house is 50/50 so maybe the carpet causes confusion as well... I dunno.

Arabella had a few accidents after we moved. It is not that uncommon. Like LILYLARUE said, back to basics. Start potty training 101. It won't take as long as the first time I promise!
