You should train your dog the proper way and place where he need to pee...

Has he been potty-trained already?

Try crate training. You also must remove the pee scent from the carpet to prevent future sprayings.

hi there. is it possible that the dog is feeling neglected because of the arrival of the baby? it may be the dog's way of getting attention (knowing he is not supposed to pee there). it could also be the dog's way of asserting dominance over the baby or the baby's territory. it may be best to put a gate to block the doorway of the baby's room at night so the dogs can't get inside, as you may not want to keep the baby's door closed.

here are a couple of links that are related and may help to offer some insights:

As with what Mary said, this may indeed be your dog's way of asserting dominance over your new baby. What you can do stop stop this is to establish yourself as the alpha dog in the house and reprimand the dog whenever the peeing occurs - of course, that may be difficult on your part as the dog may do it unseen. The quickest solution for now would be to block the door to the baby's room so that the dog won't get inside.
