Wee Problem

[Dogsrules]

HI all, I thought I post here for advise.

He has a 7 mo old male shih tzu who wee on any situation ( wee when greeted, wee when storoked, wee everytime he has attention basically ). He has been put in the backyard, while the other male dog is inside the house...so this is not ideal as they loves playing with each other and owner wants him to be inside as well, but can't do it if he keeps on weeing like that and his 15 month old daughter might slip coz of it. He is thinking that this is just a phase and he'll grow out of this wee problem when he is older. Is this right ? Has anyone experience this before ?

BTW, I rarely go online, due to work commitment, so please be patient if I don't response quickly to your post. Cheers.

From your post it sounds like he is getting overly excited, and can't control himself. The worst thing you can do is go mad at him, this will only confuse your pup, and make things worse. You need to totally ignore your pup when in an excited state. No touch, eye contact or voice, especially when he first comes in, or when people enter the place he is. Wait till his excitement has died down and he is more relaxed. Try not to get your pup overly excited for a while. Stay calm and relaxed with him. He should grow out of it.
