austen Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 A friend's 5 month old dog wees all over the place when she gets excited (i.e. when new people come to the door etc. Is there anything you can do for this (apart from ignoring her) and is she likely to stop or will it be an ongoing behaviour?

Sticks1977 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Our nearly five month old Labrador - Fraser - has done this a few times as well... He mainly has a small "squirt" when he notices new people (and they notice him!) He has become much better at my parents place when we take him over, originally when he was doing it I would immediately take him outside for the toilet and keep him out there until he knew that he had to pee. We currently have him in training with ADT @ Berwick and I asked them why he appears to pee everywhere at my parents place yet he is very well toilet trained at home. They then asked a few questions and sure enough it is because my parents home is mainly tiled throughout all areas and the smell/aroma from the cleaning product used on the floor entices him to pee!! As far as a solution... I think your puppy will grow out of it - come to think of it when Fraser last did a wee at my parents it was wiped up with paper towel and then put in front of Fraser's nose and a stern "No!" - I think he clicked on to what we were talking about. Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badboyz Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Funny, out my first ever litter of beagles a couple of girl pups had this problem. I have not experienced it since. I am pretty sure they grew out of it with maturity. Not a nice problem though. I think rewarding puppy for calm behavior and for sitting when people arrive may be the way to approach the problem.

Clyde Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Some grow out of it, some don't ;) From my experience about 75% do. I sympathise, as I have a lot of little clients younger dogs here who dribble everywhere when their owners turn up. Also a good idea to check that she hasn't an infection. If she is not desexed it could possibly be a little infection. Check that she hasn't any discharge coming from her vulva or sticking to the surrounding hairs.

Mmm - thanks Dru - I might print this out for her. Yes, she is a little dog - a Maltese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Kyzer did it until about 5 months, mainly when meeting new people. He doesn't do it at all anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However he's not very well trained or cared for, so I wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arby Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Humphrey used to do that as a puppy...he grew out of it basically you need to focus their attention on something else, to ease the initial overload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
