We have to do this with my mother-in-law's Westie. He's a submissive pee-er and if you say his name or even look in his direction when you first get there, he goes... and it's not just a little, it's like a freakin river! If we completely ignore him the first half our or so we're there (whatever it takes for him to obviously calm down) we usually don't have any problems.
