My dog embarrasses me!!!!!!! ?

Question

okay i have a puppy and every time she sees someone she starts wagging her tail and peeing at the same time. One of my neighbors picked her up and she peed all over them. We live upstairs in a apartment and if our neighbors are outside sitting on their porch she goes to them and pees right in front of them or on their feet. Yes she does be on the leash (not the one that can extend).can you help me to help her stop peeing all over people when she gets excited?

Answer 1

Your dog is submissive peeing. She may seem excited but she is really unsure. Do not scold her for peeing when she sees people, just ignore the behavior. You need to get an obedience trainer for this dog. You should keep the dog on a leash until it is trained. Do not spank the dog for not listening dogs do not understand this it just confuses them. The dog will not want to come if it thinks you will spank it. Never use the cage as a punishment.  

Answer 2

She is doing that because she is too excited and when people talk to her or give her affection, she gets too excited and then pees.

Try this.  Ask your neighbors or when you get company, not to give her attention or no eye contact.  Let her go up to them on her terms.  She should only get affection when she is in a calm state.  

Dogs begin with the nose, then the eyes, and lastly the ears. Allowing a dog to experience our scent before we engage it in eye contact or speak to it is one way to establish trust early on.

First, you've got to stop letting your puppy off the leash until she's old enough to be obedience trained and 100% reliable!  You never spank a puppy for something that's your fault.  She's not old enough to be allowed off leash.  You also never use her crate as a punishment.  Her crate is supposed to be her SAFE place.  That's very basic dog training.

As for her peeing, that's called submissive peeing and pretty common in puppies.  Most of them outgrow it and it's not something she can help. You can help her by never scolding her, keeping her out of stressful situations.  Don't let people pick her up.  People shouldn't make eye contact with her, or loom over her or approach her.  She needs to be the one to go up to people on her own.

You can take her to the vet, too.  There are meds that will help that are meant to be used along with training.

Answer 5

Well first lets address the peeing problem.  Your puppy is doing what is sometimes called "submissive urination."  Basically she is getting so excited when she sees people that she loses control of her bladder.  The key is to keep her calm and as unexcited as possible whenever you or anyone else greets her or arrives in her general vicinity.  When you first enter her space (i.e when you come into the room or arrive home) ignore her.  It will help keep her calm.  After a minute or so when she has time to calm down you can acknowledge her by saying her name but keep the physical or verbal affection extremely light.  Everyone else who comes into her area should likewise do the same thing.

Now to the second problem.  You really should not have your dog off leash outdoors in an unenclosed space if she has not been trained to recall (answer your call to come).  Hitting her is a bad method of correction and hitting her with your hand if that is what you are spanking her with is even worse.  Using her crate as a source of punishment is also bad.  I strongly recommend you stop doing both immediately.  Verbal correction is generally sufficient to correct a dogs behavior when timed right and sometimes accompanied with limited non-abusive physical correction. Leash train your dog first, and train her to recall first before ever letting her go offleash in an unenclosed space.  If you don't know how to train her then I strongly recommend you enroll her in obedience training classes.  It's a great way for you to bond with your dog, you'll get to meet other dog owners, your dog will get to socialize with other dogs, and your general experience of owning a dog will be much more enjoyable.

Answer 6

This is quite common in puppies.

You need to keep her on the lead until you have her fully trained.

You are causing embarrassment for yourself by letting an untrained pup run around.  you are making yourself look a fool.  Spanking her and putting her in a cage teaches her nothing.

Please start taking her to training classes, not just for her good, but so you can be trained on how to be a responsible dog owner.  this way you will have a long and happy time with her.
