Puppy pees on me when I pick her up!!! HELP! I have a 4 month old female yorkie and just within the past two weeks she has started peeing on people when she is picked up!!! I will go to put her in her cage or call her to me and she will get this guilty/intimidated look on her face and then she will start peeing as SOON as I pick her up! I don't know what is causing this. It doesn't appear to be from excitement, but more from the fear of being put in her cage! Also, she pees and poops everytime I let her inside, even if she has been outside for four hours! I have NEVER had this problem with my two year old male, he was a breeze to train compared to this! Please help, I am at my wits end!!:confused: |
It's just excitement peeing. A lot of puppies do this in the beginning. The best thing is to approach her without a lot of fan fare so she doesn't get all amped up and start the peeing. As for the using the bathroom in the house my guess is that she hasn't associated the bathroom thing with outside as yet and only sees it as play time. Try taking her piddle pad outside and putting it where you want her to go so she can get the hint. |
My female does the same thing...I think it is from fear...I heard that if you reach down to pick them up...do it very sutle and down go over the head...come from the front... |
Your puppy is probably very submissive. It should pass, but it may take awhile. Most do quit. |
lex used to do it a bit when we first got it. He stopped about a month or so after we got him...so there is a end of the trail in site...dont' worry. |
Your puppy is paying you a compliment by acknowledging you're in the superior position as alpha dog. It's not meant to be naughty or weird and doesn't mean your puppy is untrainable. It's just the way dogs say, "Hey, you are the boss!" She may grow out of it. It's pretty common, especially since small dogs seem to have bladder control problems anyway. Ours used to dribble on the carpet everytime I walked in the house. She's grown out of that now. |
What a relief! Thanks for all of your input, it is really helpful and reassuring! I hope she does grow out of it! :aimeeyork |
