Donating YT 30K Club Member | Has your husband strongly disciplined him in the past? It could be he is scared of him. I would have your husband try giving him treats and playing with him a little to see if that helps. Hopefully others will have some suggestions. Good luck

| That is submissive urination. It usually passes before his present age, but I would suggest your husband not greet him immediately when he comes in. Wait a few minutes, until he calms down. Never, ever scold him for doing this. It will only make a submissive puppy worse. If he has been strongly disciplined by your husband, then that could be a contributing factor. If not, then it is simply submissive urination that you are dealing with. I would suggest using belly bands when your husband is around and I expect he will outgrow it. Submissive puppies have sensitive little personalities and do take a gentle hand to help them build confidence. They need someone to help them build confidence in themselves, so they aren't fearful. You might read this earlier thread and also do some google research on the subject of submissive urination: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...urination.html

| Thanks! We have both disaplined so I do not really think it is a scared thing I think he understands my hubby is alfa and he is just being submissive. especially since he is the only one he does it to. Where do you get the belly band? maybe we will try that! I have done a lot of research but nothing is helping so I am at my witts end with this. I am not giving up! I will keep working with him and hopefully he will get better. |

| My yorkie pup does something similar! Whenever she sees my mom or goes over to her house, she rolls on her back to get some love and some pee dribbles out. She has not done this with anyone else!!! I've also taken her to several different houses and she never does it anywhere else! I can't decide if it's because she's so excited or if there's just something about my mom that makes her submissive pee. (P.S. my mom is wonderful with her and loves her to pieces...so I know it's not anything negative she's done.) |

Washable Belly Bands by T. Bumpkins & Co. and Doggie Pee Pads You can put panty liners inside them. I wish you luck in your pursuit. Please don't give up on him. Do lots of research on "submissive urination". There is lots of help out there. There are also other threads on this site. You can use the search in the blue bar above to look for information. Has he been neutered? That is something that you should have done, even though it won't help with this problem. It will help to keep him from marking - most of the time it does, anyway. If there is anything else you have questions about or need any help with, please do not hesitate to ask. Feel free to post any other questions, send a p.m. to me, or post something on my page. There is lots of help here and I just don't want you guys to give up.

| Oh Please do not give up on your puppy! That is just so sad!!!! Just think of how your puppy will feel if you give him up and he has to learn all new people and new things, a new house he will be soooo scared and it will just break his heart so much.... He has his whole life he is just a puppy! Good Luck~~~~~~~~I hope and pray that it will all work out!!!! |

| not giving up I did get a belly band and it seems to be working he hardly has dribbled in it. Only problem is we left it on for a while and there was a red mark and now I am worried if I leave it on it might leave a sore but he doesn't seem to mind it at all actually I think he is kind of liking the "pants" That is what my little girl calls the belly band. It has elastic on both sides so I am wondering if there are different brands that would not be so tight to rub a little spot. Any suggestions? Thanks for all the help! My house is a Happier place now! |

| Get rid of a pup for submissive urination? Why? There are many makers of belly bands. You should be able to find a kind that will work for him. Change it when you think he has peed to avoid urine burn. What have you tried to deal with the problem so far? Is this when your husband greets comes home or is it whenever your husband goes near him? The first would be out of excitement. The second would be out of submission (or some type of fear).

| my baby does the same thing, but he is so excited when we get home. i try not looking at him or wait until he settles down to acknowledge him. i let him come outside and he does his tinkle outside the door. harley is 1 1/2 yrs old now and he still does the tinkle. all they need and want is love and affection. they love us no matter what and that is what they want too! |

| Please don't give up on your little dog. Daisy did that from time-to-time when she was younger (she will be 2 years old January 8th). She doesn't do it anymore....and hasn't for many months. I talked to a dog trainer I know about this and he says it's hard to get rid of once it starts (I don't know what good "that" bit of information will do, but I thought I'd throw it in). Perhaps you could go to a Petsmart trainer and see what they say about what you could do. It didn't bother me, I just had a cleaner on hand and cleaned up the piddle whenever she did it. The cleaners are so good now, it really wasn't an issue with me. You know, maybe your little dog senses the irritation and this makes submissive peeing an ongoing thing? I don't know, just throwing that out there. I have read that totalling ignoring your dog when you first come in eventually will help. That's what I did. Maybe your little dog is just way too excited about ya'll coming home. Perhaps when ya'll leave to go somewhere, you could leave your dog in a tiled area, like the kitchen. When you back, totally ignore her/him at first, when your dog settles down some, let it out of the tiled area without making eye contact or saying anything and allow it to come to YOU. Maybe that would end the submissive peeing cycle. I hope you find a solution. Good luck to you! |

| You've gotten good advice here. I'd just like to add that maybe you could just have him wear the belly band when your hubby is coming home or whatever time you pup seems to do this so he's not wearing it all day long. I'd also like to add that dogs are very perceptive and if your husband is aggravated with this habit, even if he doesn't say anything your pup will still pick up on it. I think your husband has to do a little work establishing trust and that is more important than the peeing right now. Once your little guy feels more comfortable with your hubby then I think this issue will resolve itself. |
