At wits end with Excitement Peeing! Pls Help! ive posted about my 5.5 month old pup before and got a few responses on the subject..... anyways... Backstory: I got my puppy when she was around 9 weeks old. she was very playful and happy. She did NOT pee when greeting people. Then about 1-2 months later she began peeing when meeting people. she just goes INSANE when people come. I mean there is just so much jumping up and down wagging of tail and PEEING. :-( YTers told me to have people ignore her and that should help. Well that does work sometimes.... but not usually. shell just jump and jump and jump and then pees mid air. Then i realized if i hold her shes just squirm like crazy but wont pee on me. well today it finally happened. I was holding her while a neighbor was greeting her and she peed all over ME!!!! its just driving me crazy. not only that, its embarrassing to boot. I dont know what to do. some people will ignore her for a total of 10 seconds and then talk to her. and then she does it. any advice? ugh did i do something that brought on this behavior? like i said she did not do this the first couple of months. ive never had a dog with this problem and am having a tough time coping. |
could you not train her to stay in once place while people come in the house like tell her to sit and stay in her bed till the people sit down and give her a treat when she stays there? i know it might be hard but if she has to do something else that ur telling her to do then she might not think about peeing, am sure that made sense in my mind LOL |
This is called sumissive peeing and should be handled carefully because the wrong actions will worsen the condition. Here's one link, but there is a great deal of information on this behavior. Sumissive Urination All the experts agree on one thing, never punish for this. |
She is like blinded by excitement. no commands seem to hold. :( No i never yell or punish her. I pretty much just clean it up but really? submissive even tho shes all happy and excited to see people? i thought that just happened if they were scared. but i dont really know much on the subject |
Im having the same problem with my 4 month old boy. So I know how you feel and I will be watching this thread. I also just ordered him some wee wee pads lol to save people shoes, clothes and my carpet lol :rolleyes: |

For some reason he doesnt do this with me. Its mainly with my children and any outsider. He just recently started marking also! I wanted to wait till he was around 6mths to have him neutered but im gonna up his appt:( |
It's possible that before she was too young to realize there were new people around. The advice that you were given before was correct. No talk! No touch! No eye contact! until she settles down. Ask your friends to totally ignore her until she behaves. Also you might need to work on your skills as pack leader. You might think you are in charge, but your actions might be telling her something different. Some questiolns Does she sleep with you Does she eat with you Does she run through doors ahead of you Do you feed her when she is jumping up and down. I suggest you watch some Dog Whisperer episodes on The national Geographic channel or buy his DVD to learn how to be a calm assertive pack leader. In doing so she will feel confident that you are in charge and will no longer feel the need to show submission to strangers. I hope that helps |

to answer your Qs : Does she sleep with you: Yes Does she eat with you: No, but she does sit and watch us eat sometimes Ill give her a piece of bread or something at the end. Does she run through doors ahead of you:hmm, usually but not at her training classes. i always walk thru the door first. but when i take her out in the front yes, shell have her nose to the door as i unlock it and run outside when it opens. when going in the backyard, i always go out first because she is unleashed i guess. Do you feed her when she is jumping up and down. You mean when she is begging for food while we are eating? No, however sometimes some relatives take pity on her and do so even though i scold them and tell them not to do so. I dont have the NGC :( |
Bella did this until she was about 10 months old. Now its very very rare. She has really calmed down in the last few months. She 18 months old now. My SIL got Bella as a xmas present. I was looking for a Yorkie. She was not. She was never home and realized after 2 weeks she was not home enough. So Her loss MY gain. I guess Bella still sees her and my Bil as her first mommy and daddy. So when they come over if they greet her...she will tinkle a lil. I doubt this will never change! |
