I agree with others -- first make sure this is not a medical problem. If it is not, then you can work on changing some behaviors - yours and the dog's. My last dog was a submissive wetter and an excitement wetter - if she got a little too happy, oops! We learned to greet Bungee on the concrete back porch before entering the house -- a little hosing off and no harm was done. We also learned the signs of her getting overly excited or submissive and changed OUR behavior to avoid pushing her over the edge. We also praised a great deal for going in the "correct" place and didn't give any feedback for mistakes. Dogs that need lots of attention, even "bad" attention, will learn to do whatever it takes to get it. When we started ignoring Bungee's for a short time after an error and just quietly cleaning it up, she pretty quickly learned where not to go.
But I can't emphasize enough, first make sure it's not a medical problem. No amount of training and discipline are going to fix a medical condition, and delaying treatment could make it much worse. |
