My dog is mad at me and I take him outside to pee and he does, then he comes in and pees right by me on purpose. What should I do?:confused:

You can interrupt him with a sharp ''UT, ut, ut!'' and take him out when he does it. This will not be very effective unless you change your relationship with him. The key to most behavior problems is approaching things using the dog's natural instincts. Dogs see all the people and dogs in the household as a pack with each having their own rank in the pack and a top dog. Life is much easier if the 2 legged pack members outrank the 4 legged ones. You can learn to play the role of top dog by reading some books or going to a good obedience class. A good obedience class or book is about you being top dog, not about rewarding standard commands with a treat.
