This is now getting a tad more specific; but still not specific enough. How old is the dog, what is the exact issue? How often does this issue exhibit? Where, when and with whom?

Frankly if this dog is a young dog, you need to "nip" in the bud this behavioural issue...... unless it is a matter of insecurity and or fear. Dog is afaird to walk outside, dog submissively and or excitedly peeing. Insecurity in a dog may take years to correct. Because you are not correcting insecurity but trying to build security. Actually any age dog, if there is a behavioural issue I think it is on the owner to get the help they need to resolve the issue.

I am not a trainer like Brit and Teresa are, but I do train my dogs and with a trainer for over 7yrs now. But I immediately look to myself if a dog of mine has issues. And ask for help if need be.
