I bought a 2yr. old female from a breeder. She was moving into town and getting out of the business. The dog has had one litter previously. This dog is VERY submissive. My main problem is that she is a stress piddler. If she is scared or surprised she piddles. Otherwise she is well housebroken.
Any tips for breaking this behavior?
Once a dog has submissive behavior can it be changed?

I have not bonded well with this dog. She is pretty and sweet but she just does not have the personality I like in a dog. Once I have bred her and weaned my pups I will probably sell her.
