...Everytime she does i say NAUGHTY GIRL NAUGHTY and her ears go down sadly. Im not sure what is the problem and i have told her off every single time that she wets herself with excitement of being payed attention and that is about 200 times.....
That is why i have come to these yorkshire pages and asked for help URGENTLY!

Learning to communicate with her is the first step to ending the problem. I would offer that she does not understand that she is being scolded for the submissive urination. When training, particularly house training, scolding may give you the immediate outcome you want but it teaches the puppy something completely different, the puppy learns to fear you. You can see how this would worsen the submissive urination. Some will take a rolled up newspaper to a problem puppy and then wonder why the puppy now poops in the closet or behind the couch. He's been taught to hide when he needs to go. Not the intention but the outcome.
I would recommend housetraining 101, start at the beginning and crate train her. Give her lot's of praise before taking her out of the crate and if there is submissive urination at least it's in the crate. Second in the routine is to go "outside" for a romp and to empty the bladder, once she has accomplished this she has earned some free time to roam inside the house. After a while the routine starts over again. Set her up for success in her daily routine, it will cut down on your stress level and make you a better pet owner while giving her small successes which continue to build her confidence. Confidence on her part is the final answer to the problem.
Good Luck!!
