She is bonding very well with us and exspecially Joey. They are playing all the time. She does get a little anxious if me and or my mom leave. She dosen't seem to miss the other people at all. |
Maybe her infection has recurred or she has a chronic bladder infection that needs long-term antibiotic or has developed weak sphincters. Re-vet her and if your vet doesn't think it's a physical problem, this type of peeing is usually the results of a stress trigger or habit she's gotten into. Either way you have to fix it if it's not medical. Whether you thinks it's submissive urination or not, I'd study up on how to correct frequent stress urination as they can work with any non-medical cause.
I'd spend this long weekend just following her around and observing her and seeing exactly what she looks like before she pees - watch what's going on in the room just before she pees, study her every move and facial/body/tail/ear expression, any paw lifting or eye walling or squinting, ear tucking, licking, grinning, head lowering, lowering of her body, circling, sniffing, etc. Really study her entire persona just before she does every pee this weekend. Then you'll have an idea if some things trigger her or what signals she sends and can get her to her pee spot in time. She'll also learn you are working with her to help her and get the idea that holding it until she goes where you want is the best way to get her rewards and praises and no all the unhappy looks and groans she gets when she has mistakes.
Behavior modification is usually the only way to correct a behavior you don't like. That and confinement to safe areas until you have worked with the dog and the problem has stopped. Also, keep a strict schedule and take her out more frequently so that she can rely on going out at those set time and adjust her body to it. Gradually decrease her potty sessions as her bladder control increases.
Hopefully, though, the vet can help your sweet girl!
