Tucker is almost 3 and still does this. I sooo hoped he would outgrow it, but it didn't happen. Our vet says he can't help it, so we have to keep him from getting excited. The advice to ignore him is good. The other thing is to get down on the floor, to his level, and keep him calm. I ignore him when I come in, but we've found that he doesn't do it as much with the family as he does when new people come over. (The exception to this is my one sister, he has peed on her every time she has come over!) Keeping the dog from getting excited is the only way to stop it from happening. Belly bands help, too! |
