| HELP... greeting problems!! Hi can anyone help me? I have a yorkie talkie who is 18months old and the problem is that when ever anyone greet's her she automatically squats and wee's. The vet tell's me this is a pure behaviour problem and that there is nothing medically wrong with her. She is house trained and will urinate on command in the appropriate place. At present anyone who comes to the house we have to tell them to ignore the dog, as she will wet herself (this also happens even if you look at her!). This is such a shame as she is missing out on a lot of affection !! please help. |

| Your vet is right on target. It sounds like submissive behavior to me. I am sure someone more experienced with help you out with some helpful ideas. I just wanted to say: WELCOME TO YORKIE TALK! |

| It's submissive urination and it took my Emilee 2 years to quit doing it and once in a great while...will do this. I wasn't able to find any help except to ignore her, put her in another room, hold her while they pet her...etc. Wish I could help you.....wish I could've been helped more. I think more than anything, she just outgrew it.

| My parents have a yorkiepoo that does the same thing! The rule is, don't look at or pet Pepper for 10 minutes. After that he should be calmed down enough that he won't pee. Or take him outside and pet him. The funniest part about Pepper is that he doesn't pee on just the floor...he pees all over himself because he flips over and gives the person his belly and then pees! It's quite a mess. It has gotten better as he has gotten older and he does try to hold it, but he's 5 years old and he still does it occasionally... |
