Boo-Boo, my yorkie before Cujo (well, we got Cujo about a year before he died) did this his whole life, until we had to have him put to sleep in April. He was almost 16. The vet assured us that he couldn't help it, so we never punished him for it. He also said a lot of puppies do it, and most outgrow it, but Boo-Boo never did.
If we knew someone was coming over, and he was going to get excited, I would take him out to the bathroom right before they came over. I would also him outside to greet people, and if they were going to pick him up, I would have them pet him first, so it would go ahead and come out. This seemed to work, and kept him from peeing on anyone.
Cujo never had this problem, and the yorkie we had before Boo-Boo, Zach, never did either. But, Boo-Boo was just about the perfect dog otherwise, and never ever had any accidents in the house. |
