Zoey Zendaya did give you some suggestions for how to help them avoid submissive/excited peeing, if that's what it is, and these techniques do work when everyone in the household use them consistently. Not all dogs do outgrow it if they are very submissive or highly excitable. That's why you need to use the techniques of approaching/greeting them/handling them that least prompt them to pee. Besides the other tips you might get on YT, here's a link you might read plus you could Google "Submissive or Excited Urination" and read a lot of articles and comments about the different ways to diagnose and help dogs with it to prevent it from becoming a lifelong problem.

Thanks anyway for the reply and trying, no my Vet did not give me much advice, actually thinking of changing Vets. I did mention to him if Neutering would help solve the problem and his answer was, (how would you like it if you where deprived of sex.) I wasn't impressed witih that answer.lol

That's what they call"submissive peeing "..it is their way of giving you something of theirs...you big looming monster😉....my Zoey will be 2 years soon and we thought she would grow out of it ....but she hasn't....she is a sweet docile little thing and does the same thing.
I have found it successful when you go to pick them up ...don't make eye contact, state your command or better yet let THEM come to YOU to make contact and NOT when you first get home....this is off and on during the day....When you come home IGNORE them till they settle down then approach , release from pen and develope your routine so they know what to expect.
This helps the initial meet and greet part of the two of you coming together.
I have her sister who is 6 Months old today...she doesn't do that but she is very flighty....will leap away from you when you want to approach or call. She will come on demand IF I have a treat but is very reluctant to come otherwise to me if she does not WANT to...always show them the back of your hand also, it's less threatening ..
When company comes I put zoey in an enclosed area untill she settles down or she speckles all over the place. She is ok upon approach otherwise...it's just when anyone comes home after she has been alone for awhile...
