Is Apollo on a strict eating & potty schedule? If not, that may be part of the problem. He needs to have a pattern set up so that he will have the opportunities to go when his body needs to go.

When a dog takes and action such as peeing, he has forgotten it seconds after it is done. He is learning to be sad when you come home because you are angry with him. Please do not punish him.

At 9 months he is not yet in full control of his bladder. I doubt if "brightness" is really a factor in his bodily functions.

As I mentioned, I think you need to establish a schedule for him.

He sounds very much like a puppy, a puppy that is learning, but also a puppy that maybe bored.
Puppies pee on the carpet & not on the hard floors, because is they did, it would run all over the place and get on their paws.
