SearchExcited Peeing?
I've tried searching this topic and looking around the site. So forgive me if I missed it. Here's the deal. My little buddy Deacon (5 months old) is an awesome puppy except for one thing. I've owned dogs my entire life and know that when a dog gets excited he/she tends to pee a little. Well Deac pees, but he pretty much relieves his entire bladder. He's potty trained to a T and doesn't go inside any other time. This is where I begin to think it's a problem. I can leave him for 5 minutes and he acts like he hasn't seen me all day. Heck I go take a shower with him staying with my wife in the living room. I come back in the living room and he acts like I just walked in from a week long trip and pees everywhere. I love my little buddy and I'm not complaining at all about his affection. Just the constant peeing. He's been in obedience training and starts his intermediate class in mid July. Any advice? Anyone else having these problems?
http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/submissivepeeing.htm here is something someone else posted a website that has a lot of good info . it has about submissive peeing on this . maybe it has some suggestions too. Only thing I have ever experienced with submissive peeing is they were abused. I may be wrong on s other dogs however.
You might want to try and have him greet you outside, even after the simple activities for a while until you can get it under control. Also, I would work on ignoring him when he is too excited to see you. Just walk right past until he's in a calmer state and then be like, "Oh, you're here? Well that's fun!" Sometimes when we pet them and further greet them, they can get so excited they can't contain themselves.
He's still young and it will go away with time, in most cases.
Hope everything else is going well!
We keep him in a kennel when we aren't home. I'll try ignoring him for a few mintues until he calms down. I just look so forward to getting home to my little buddy I can't help but go and let him out as soon as I walk in the door. The article you posted was great unityspirit. Definately some things to try that I would've never thought about. So far this is the only hiccup we've encountered. Thanks for the info!
Update: I've been ignoring him until he calms down and it has worked like a charm. I approach his kennel sideways and don't make eye contact. It's amazing how the smallest things solve problems. Thanks again for the tips!

OH well hes not fully developed to hold that I dont think. Athena tinkles sometimes when she doesnt make it out the door then looks like shes embarrased or something when she does.IN wolves I think its to show submission Just your Alpha dog and saying "Im happy to see you" I think it will grow out of it. if it were my dog I would sit down on floor as it starts peeing to say its ok you dont have to submit to me > i realize your saying Im alpha dog and you dont need to show it litterally. I think sometimes they want to please so much they get carried away. Are you very stern with it in training? IM not being critical but I dont push my puppies on hard obeying till they are more mature. but im only do a pet not showing a dog or anything. It would be like forcing a kid to sit in a chair all day and be quiet and behave and they run to you hoping to please you so you will love them. overkill obedience. IM just thinking outloud . I may be wrong .. Take anything I say and use it if it works and if not just toss it out the window.. he he
