| Got a Question for ya??? I know this is a YORKIE forum,, but the knowledge here is overwhelming...so, my question is.... My bf has been offered a 6 month old female cocker spaniel... she is a pretty , nice dog,, but they advised that she pees when she gets excited,, Any ideas about this,,can this be stopped, or is it just the way she will be? She hasnt been fixed yet. I know that. Any advise or experience with this would be helpful..

| Excitement urination happens because the puppy do not have complete control of their bladder and the dog pee whenever it is excited. Probably doesn't even realize she is doing it. Should go away when she is older and has better control of her bladder and when she get less excited about thing(Exposure to new environements and situation will lessed it because she would get use to different surrounding and be less excitable). However, you can't scold her or punish her for it or it may turn to submissive urination. Submissive urination is very hard to correct. |

| I have friends with two cockers and until they were about a year old they both peed anytime anyone walked in the door. They were just so excited. So, the guests were just told not to look at them or pet them or anything until after a couple of minutes... and my friends did this also. Eventually the pups figured out the door didn't mean instant attention for them and they stopped getting so excited. Once in a while one of them will still do it. (they switched to hardwood floors so it was easier to clean than the carpet) Good luck!

| We had a Lhasa Apso who did this until 18 months old - I would run in the house and pick him up and race out into the back garden!! we now have two lovley yorkie girls all these years later and ONE of them , our lovely Gypsy Rose did this until she too was 18 months old (strangely enough!) .. she never does it now and it was never really a problem..!!

| I've known a bunch of people with spaniels and all of them did the submissive pee thing. I don't know if you can attribute this to a breed but I have heard of this an awful lot, I don't know how long it lasts though. |

| our rat terrier mix had this problem when we first brought him home (he was 2or3 yrs) but i think he's was b/c when he lived at my papaws house he hardly ever got attention. i think once he realized that we would always give him attention and the newness of a new home wore off he stopped. every now and then he will dribble just a little bit but that's when something major happens, like when we picked him up from the vet after being neutered. |

| I have a sweet little girl that pees every time the boys my husband day care moms come through the door and greet her, my mom walked in the other night and she peed as soon as she seen her, she is better if noone pays any attention to her if they say anything or look at her she will pee .Now I keep her out of the room so she may not come to the door to greet whoever is their. She is a little better now will come to say hi and if she thinks she is going to pee she will run in the other room but keep returning till she can say hi without peeing. I have not scolded her bad for this I do not like it but she gets so darn excited she cannot help herself. I used to have a doberman that would pee every time the hubby came home. I have found scolding her only makes it worse she is much better not being allowed to greet people, andd keeping her away until she is not so excited, and no eye contact my hubby cant look at her or she will pee, after she greets him she will turn around and take a sniff just to check and see if she did ,is kinda funny she checks too see if she didnt she is so happy if she does she will run and hide.
