If the dog pees when company comes, it is called ecxcitement peeing and is not anything they can control. Mine does this and I know it, so I either pick him up or have the company meet us outside until he pees and settles down. One thing to do is to tell everyone to totally ignore him until you give the word that they can pet him. Turning your back on him may help him to settle down. Putting him on a short lesh can also help. Patience is a must. I never scold mine when he does wrong - only praise and treats when he does good. He has no clue that peeing in the house would upset me, because he has never been scolded for it. I only praise him when he goes where I want him to, the other I ignore. |
