UTI or More Stress?

Hobbs is having serious bathroom issues today. He has gone outside to pee no less than 25 times. When he goes out, he pees for a second, jumps up and trots really quick to another spot, pees, jumps up again and either goes to another spot or runs back to me. I don't think he has pee'd for more than 3 seconds at a time all day long. I think he had a little problem yesterday with this, but nothing this bad. Also, he has had 5 accidents in the house, and 3 out on the porch! Just little ones like he didn't even know he was peeing. He is also drinking water every chance he gets. I actually restricted it today, and I haven't had to do that in a long time. I think maybe he has a UTI.

So I don't know what to think.

He is still incredibly stressed, his barking issue is getting worse, and he only relaxes every once in a while. He is getting out to play, walk, and train, but he is always at the door asking to go out. I am hoping the potty issues aren't another manifestation of his stress level. That will be harder to fix than a medical thing.

On a brighter side of things, we are going tomorrow to practice agility, and then out to the coast. It is supposed to be a gorgeous day there so I am really excited! Hopefully Hobbs likes the ocean water!
