I recently adopted a stray dog named Denali. She is wonderfu, sweet, and housebroken (yipee!). She does have a problem with submissive urination, though. She will urinate a small amount if I scare her (quite accidentely) by grabbing her collar, pulling her off the bed or couch, approaching her in I'm guessing as what she percieves as a dominant manner, or holding her snout (which is necessary because she has a puncture wound on her head that requires treatment). I haven't been correcting her, and just ignoring the submissive urination because I thought that if I ignored it, the behavior would ceace. It's been three weeks since we first adopted her, and the submissive urination is actually getting a bit worse (or maybe I'm just noticing it more). My question is: Is there anything I can do to help fix this?
Thanks!
