Hello I've been reading on this forum for awhile now and most of the times can find the info I need. I have 2 yorkies, a girl Korra and a boy Henry. Henry is almost a year old and he pees when he is excited, which is fairly often. We use belly bands whenever he is not in his expen.

The worst part is excited peeing first thing in the morning. He sleeps through the night no problem but he has to wear a belly band at night because when my alarm goes off or he even thinks I'm going to get up he gets really excited, starts bouncing around the bed, and pees. Sometimes it's when he sees me reach for him, sometimes he just pees. I am literally getting out of bed within a minute of my alarm going off trying to scoop him up in my half asleep state and get downstairs and outside before he's peed.

Obviously peeing in the belly band isn't as bad as peeing on the comforter, but it is still smelly and doesn't help with our potty training battle... and sometimes (like this morning) they leak and pee still ends up on the comforter - ugh.

I've tried turning off my alarm before it goes off so he doesn't get so excited, but he's caught on to that. We've also tried having him sleep in his crate, but I prefer him to sleep in my bed as he sleeps more soundly which means I do too ... and when my alarm goes off and he is in the crate he literally screeches at top volume until I can get him out of the crate and even then he's peeing in excitement.

Does anyone have any tips?
