| Couldn't you buy panties for her and insert a poise pad when you know that guest are coming? That way she can pee on the pad. Puppies go through this phase, eventually things will get better.

| Tucker is 3 and he still does this! I either pick him up when people come to the door or I've also gotten down on the floor and kept him calm. But, the problem is that whenever I let him go, it could be 10 minutes later, the minute someone talks to him he would wiggle and get excited and pee! So, I started putting a belly band on him when company comes over. The really weird thing is, when I take the belly band off after company leaves, he is dry! I know he can't help it, but that doesn't make it any easier to deal with, that's for sure!

| When people come tell/make her sit while being greeted (treat and praise her when she sits). Dogs can't pee while sitting and if done enough she should eventually automatically sit when someone approaches her as a dog learns by repition and positive reinforcement. Hope this helps. |

| Aww V! I'm sorry she hasn't grown out of this yet! But at least this thread has given you a lot of hope! I don't know how I could help but, if you think of a way just let me know. We could go somewhere and I could keep approaching her and ignore her until she's in her sit stay. If she got out of her sit, I could stand up and ignore her again until she sits again. I don't know if it'd work.

| I've never had a problem with the excitement peeing, but my boys would go crazy if someone came in the door. Jake is quiet, but Jackson can be a wild boy. I kept working with them to "sit" and "stay" when people come in, and they do pretty well now. I also told people to just ignore them for a minute and then they can go pet them. I also told them to not talk to them in an excited type of voice because that would just make them more excitable. If you can get people to listen, it does work really well and they stay a lot calmer when someone comes in. I'm sure if your little one was calmer when they came in, the peeing would stop. Just tell them to ignore her....or get peed on

| lol thats a great way to get people to listen to you. Either you can ignore her for a few minutes, or she can pee on your feet and pretty shoes. If someone put it that way, I'd be more willing to ignore her cute little face!!! That's the problem, Bindi is just sooooo adorable, people can't resist her sweet face! Especially when her tongue curls up! lol!

| My yorkie did the same thing at three months when I first brought her home. She's now ten months and she recently did it again about three weeks ago when I went out of town for two days and left her with my niece. Other than those two times she have not peed, but she does get extremely excited when people come around especially my family.

| Callie didnt do it when we first got her but then started doing it about a month and a half after we got her but has grown out of it except on a rare occasion like when she sees the trainer who did her puppy class in petsmart but its very rare but when she did do it it didnt matter if she was on the floor or in your arms she would still do it, many times me or my mom would get piddled on.

| Besides the "no eye contact" and "no touch" rule I also insist that strangers get down on their haunches to communicate or touch any of my furbabies. Leaning over them to touch them is a sure fire way to get a dribble on the floor. Chipper also dribbles if someone uses a high-pitched "eeeeee" sound when they see my Yorkies. My daughter is a major culprit in this department when she visits. Drives me nuts. You'd think someone with her brains could remember that rule from an earlier visit. Common sense escapes her. As I said, it drives me nuts.

| Thanks everyone! I will take all this info and put it to good use. Today is memorial day and we are having a BBQ/pool "party" (heh, just like 3 ppl are coming) so it is perfect to test it out. I will phone everyone and make sure they know the "rules" prior to their arrival. Im going to try to work on getting neighbors to stop acting like loons when they see her (youd think theyd never seen a dog before). lol thanks jill for the offer if i remember correctly a few months back you wanted to go to atlantic ave or some street (sorry i dont remmeber exactly) to see if you can get people to greet meeks while seated. looks like i have to do the same too! thanks again. well *crosses fingers* lets hope this works!! Guess i know in a few months. Happy Memorial Day All!! *off to rub steaks* ~V

| I'm sorry you are dealing with this! It's frustrating, but there is hope! 1. NEVER punish (no scolding or anything) when your dog does this...it will only increase the anxiety and the submissive urination will only get worse. 2. Do ignore her when she gets so excited. Do not touch her, talk to her, or pet her. No looking at her...nothing. Get your company to do the same. 3. Teach her basic obedience and have her sit politely to meet company. This may mean allowing your company to come in and ignore her UNTIL she settles down. 4. Make sure when people do approach her, they are NOT talking in an excited, high pitched, or fast tone. Have them say nothing, and have them crouch down and put their hand out to sniff it. They can say "Good dog," in a low, slow monotone voice. At the first sign of anxiety (lots of wiggling, lots of jumping, etc) have the person get and walk away. 5. When you know company will be coming over, walk her very well. Give her pleny of opportunities to relieve herself. 6. NEVER make a big deal of coming home or leaving home to her. This goes for company as well. If you use an excited tone or compose yourself in a giggly wiggly way, this will increase her anxiety and cause her to urinate. A lot of times a dog that submissively urinates has low self esteem. This is not always the case, but it is a possibility. Play tug with her daily and let her win 90% of the time until she starts becoming more confident and the submissive urination starts occurring less. At this time, discontinue tug all together to avoid giving her dominance issues. If she does pee, ignore her. Clean up the mess quietly, and make sure to use an enzymatic cleaner (like Nature's Miracle) to rid the area of the smell. I also suggest doing desentization techniques with respect to the door and door bell. Please feel free to pm me if you would like instructions on working with her more. I have had many clients with dogs who have this issue. It takes patience, time, and consistency but you can (in most cases) get past these issues and have a confident dog who can "hold her own" sort to speak! By the way, my lab/pit mix Lucy used to have this same issue. She no longer suffers from excited pee! |
