Crate Trained Dog Keeps Peeing On Things After Just Being Let Out?

My boyfriend has a Papillon that is just over a year old and has been neutered for about 3 months. He’s been cage trained since he was a pup. He always goes to the restroom when he goes outside. The dog is so infuriating though because we will have just let him out to pee and not 30 minutes later he’s peeing on the floor. We scold him and he goes right back in his crate, but he never seems to learn.
Here’s a recent example; The dog stays in his crate while we are at work. As soon as I got home I let him out to pee, he goes about his business no problem, and I leave him out in the kitchen to play. I play with him with his squeaky bone and keep an eye on him. Not 40 minutes after having gone out to pee he stops out for the middle of nowhere and pisses all over the floor. We know he does not have a urinary tract infection and he already peed a ton outside so I have no idea what the problem is. He gets scolded with “Bad dog”, “no” and is put back in his crate.
Btw do not mention taking him outside after he has already peed on the floor, this doesn’t work. Any ideas?

Maybe when he goes his bladder isn’t emptying completely,I have a little Pom and we can let her out and 2-10 minutes later she wants out.I talked to the vet about this and he said that he thinks her bladder is not emptying completely which is called over active bladder just as it is in humans.This does not mean that this is what is wrong with your dog,just a suggestion.Hope you find out what the problem is.Good luck.Good question,thanks for asking.
I like the personality of a papillon. They are so sweet.
Sounds like your pap might also be marking still or submission peeing. Please remember also that some paps have small bladders and after playing they “need to go” again – just like small kids.
