My Yorkie Tico, Piddles when excited Good morning. We recently got a Yorkie, named him Tico. He is a wonderful little guy. Very smart, but so far, a little hard to house train. He is only 4 months old, and from what ive read, this seems normal. However, he does sprout a piddle hear and there when he gets excited to see people. Its not like he is going to the bathroom, the pee ends up being the size of a dime or less. How can I stop this.? |
Yes, it is pretty normal... Infact Meka is 10 mo's and she stopped doing it around 8 mo's or so. I use to have to pick her up before someone approached her, because she couldnt help herself. Then we started training her to sit/stay when someone approached us and not let them pet her right away. That way when she saw that its not all about her, she was able to calm down... Hope this helps :) |
I'd try picking up your baby before someone came in the house. |
That is common in pups. Especially when they get excited. They will grow out of it. Both the other members have great suggestions. Good luck. Patience is the key |
My chihuahua Sully used to do that when she was younger, she grew out of it too. |
Tina is 2.5 yrs old and hasn't grown out of it. So we just don't give her attention when she gets worked up. If you don't get the dog too excited, they won't pee. My BF comes home and shouts "Tina Tina Tina" and runs up to her and starts petting her. Then she pees. But When I come home, I let her out of her area, and I walk away from her and do a few things for 2 or 3 minutes before saying hello. Then she doesn't pee. And when my friends come over, I tell them to walk right past her and sit down and ignore her for a little bit. She will calm down and cuddle right up to them after just chilling out. Hope that helps. |
Tucker is almost 3 and still does this. I sooo hoped he would outgrow it, but it didn't happen. Our vet says he can't help it, so we have to keep him from getting excited. The advice to ignore him is good. The other thing is to get down on the floor, to his level, and keep him calm. I ignore him when I come in, but we've found that he doesn't do it as much with the family as he does when new people come over. (The exception to this is my one sister, he has peed on her every time she has come over!) Keeping the dog from getting excited is the only way to stop it from happening. Belly bands help, too! |
Hi Teddy did this also, when he got excited, but mostly when people came in. I mentioned it to our vet, and she advised us to try to get people to not make a big fuss over him when they first entered the house. It worked! He did it for quite a while, I just carried a kleenex in my hand when we were greeting people, just in case. He's a year now, and it has stopped. Hopefully it will for you, as well. |
I so dislike it when people come over and in a very high voice say, "Oh, what a cute puppy." The deed is done. Even my 22 yr. daughter has a habit of doing that when she comes home from college.:rolleyes: I agree with what others have suggested. It works if you can get family and friends to cooperate.
