It's likely she may do it when she gets excited too. Don't talk baby talk to her...wait a few minutes to greet her and that'll help. |
Thank you...I just pulled up a bunch of info online when I googled Submissive Urination. i realize some things that I need to do differently for awhile. I AM very excited when I see her and we make a big deal out of it and DO talk baby talk in a higher pitched voice. I am guilty. From everything I have read those are no-no's. I have never scolded her for this or anything else. She is just a baby. There is a lot of good info out there with some great tips that we are going to try. Thanks again for everyones advice and support.
