How do you stop a dog from peeing when she gets excited?

Answer 1

My dog also did that, but then she seemed to get used to me coming home and stopped peeing when she got exited, they skip that stage after a month or too. It also helps if you approach them slowly and not speak until you bend and then pet them

You have to start talking to him before you get to close to him. And actually at five months he's a bit young. They just do that. Make sure you speak in a very gental way. Don't yell or he'll always do that.

Lack of ConfidenceTypically the "excited" urination is just a result of a lack of confidence. Enroll your pup in a puppy preschool class somewhere that specializes in opperant conditioning, clicker training, or kindness training... A class that allows supervised play time off leash, and encourages you to visit with everyones puppies. The more people and dogs he meets, and the more things he learns, the more his confidence will grow. :)

As a trainer I see this on a regular basis, and I see dogs who become confident, outgoing, and much happier as classes go on.

Good luck with your pupper.

Answer 2

Think of puppies this way....everyone says one human year is equal to seven dog years. That is just an easy way to understand how they age. It's an average. But if you really want to know how dogs age, this is how it breaks down. The first year of a dog's life is actually closer to 15-17 years depending on the size of the dog. Bigger dogs age much faster than toy breeds. So at 8 months your puppy is approx. closer to 10-12 years old. The excited urination can be stopped by doing the following....first off, if you haven't crate trained the pup, do so immediately. Use a crate that is the correct size of the dog at that age. Bigger gives them room to use the back as a toilet; smaller is uncomfortable and makes them feel claustrophobic which in turn causes fear of the crate. If you know the dog will outgrow the crate and can't afford to buy 3-4 different sizes, just put a box in the back that will not allow the pup to get around it or behind it. Put the pup in the crate anytime you cannot watch him. PERIOD! If he naps, as soon as he comes out of the crate, outside he goes. And he must stay out there until he does "his business". Use a phrase like that or "go potty", or whatever you prefer. Once he urinates and/or poops, make a big deal of what a good dog he is, lots of hugs, petting, even a small treat can be helpful. I promise you if you follow these steps, you will have a housebroken dog in short order. As for the excited peeing, do not punish him, yell at him, shame him, etc. Believe me, he already is embarrassed enough without you adding to his humiliation. Simply take him outside, use your phrase, and if he goes even one drop, make a big deal about what a good boy/girl he/she is. Follow w/ a treat. The less of a big deal you make of it, it will gradually go away. It's actually a show of submission, not the need to urinate. I've been involved in every aspect of dog training, lure coursing, showing my whippets for over 25 years so I've seen pretty much everything and these methods work well. I never use negative reinforcement. You can't beat this behavior out of him...in fact, it would make it worse. Good luck. BTW, years 2-4 are also accelerated from the 7 years people say all the time. Those years are about 10 yrs. each, then 5-9 or 10, it levels off at around 5-6 yrs, and in the geriatric years, it slows to 3-4 years per human year. Average all that and you'll come up close to 7 yrs per human yr. Hope it helps you to understand where they are in their mental development. I've found 9-18 months to be the biggest pains in the butt, especially w my boys. The girls, just as in humans, grow up emotionally much faster and their training is usually done by their 1st year but I've had boys take twice that long. When going thru adolescence, all they think about is sex and food. Sound familiar? Dogs are not much different from humans in their scope of emotions and how they exhibit them. They're just more honest and open about their feelings and don't understand subterfuge. I'd trust a good dog over any human any day of the week.

Answer 3

Give her something calming to focus on. Most dogs do excited urination when they are greeting someone or when the owner first returns home. When you know an exciting event is starting or about to start, ask your dog to sit or lie down. It's hard to urinate, especially while lying down. Use a calm voice and slow body movements to help calm the dog. Quietly and gently praise the dog for lying down. Use long, slow strokes. Eventually, you'd like her to learn that lying down or sitting politely is the default position for greeting people.

Answer 4

if the dog is excited when a person is entering the house or yard make your dog sit and wait if the dog gets up to greet tell the person to go out of the house and yard and not be seen by the dog then tell dog sit and wait when the dog is calm let the person in the house or yard but tell that person not to be exciting just be calm and boring until the dog does not have that bad behavir.

And i know this because my dog does the same thing and i would of never got her to stop peeing when she meats some one new

Answer 5

First watch for signs that your puppy needs to go. These can include him/her pacing the floor, refusing to settle, whining, and going to the door. If you see him/her doing any of these take him/her outside to your "spot" (it is a good idea to chose a place for your pup to do it's business so after awhile it will remember where to go instead of randomly going and pooping on your lawn) and wait. You need to be patient for how ever long it takes otherwise your puppy will never learn. As soon as your puppy is done (not while he/she's going!! Make sure he/she's finished) praise him/her lavishly.

Hope this helps. I would also suggest buying a good dog care book. Here is one you might like to check out:
