I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | For some reason this is a problem more with females than males, building up their confidence is said to help. This link has some great tips: Behavior: Understanding and Modifying This is another good one: Sumissive Urination

| Does she do it when she sees him like she's excited? If so, try ignoring her COMPLETELY. No eye contact, nothing until she settles down. Lily does this too and that seems to be the only thing that works. What's more of the problem is that people just won't ignore her after we tell them to. I think she's getting better though- I'm not loving this stage at all!

| My dog does the same thing. I haven't had her for long, she is 3 yrs old. So this article has helped me also. Thanks Nancy!

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | You're welcome, we had a little cocker spaniel when I was growing up who did this, and I wish we had known some of the ways to treat it. We just gave her more attention, everything from scolding to babying, and then I read that's exactly what you are not suppose to do. I think since it's happening with just one person, it should be easier to treat, if you can get him to go along with your plan.

| Alphy does when he's scared. Whenever anyone comes over he runs to my room. Last time my folks came he was sitting on my pillows and mom went to say hi. After he figured out who she was he moved but he had peed on my pillow.

Like today: She had gotten a hold of a peice of paper and shredded it while I was at work. Larry came to clean up the paper, and before he could say anything to her or react in any way, she just saw him cleaning up the paper, she was already on her back and peeing all over the place. He didnt say anything to her about the paper. Infact he didnt say anything until he noticed that she was peeing. And all he said was her name. Then she started running all over the house peeing....

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | You really need to practice the tips the link gives you. You won't see result overnight. She knew she was in trouble, dogs can sense these things, and she's fearful. Maybe just his voice, or his mannerism scares her, but the link gives tips on what to do and not do. You need to build her confidence. He probably should have ignored the mess for a few minutes and greeted her in a low-key way; maybe taking her outside first thing would help too. Quote:
