Question
i have a 5 year old male dochshound not neudered,he pees in the house at night. i try to diceplind him it dosn't work.i let him out before bed time. could he have a urinary problem

Answer
Yes, he could have a urinary problem. Your vet would have to run a urinalysis to be sure.  He may also be drinking too much water.  You may have to pick up his water at suppertime and not give him any more until morning.  Then walk him several times before you go to bed and he may be able to hold it until morning.
