We have a wonderful 4 year old German Shepherd mix (male). We adopted him in April 2007 from a shelter. We do not know his past owners or how they treated him, but suspect they may have been a little overly strict with him. He is already housebroken and is well behaved. However, he has one unusual problem. Every now & then he does what we googled and believe to be "submissive urination". The strange thing is that he only does it for my hubby & not me... And he only does it when he tries to put his leash on to go for a walk. It's bizarre. Why would he continue to do this after like 7 months? He clearly has bonded with my hubby and they play and go for walks all the time, but only sometimes does this. Also, when this happens he cowers away from my hubby with his tail between his legs like he is scared. Even if he tempts him with a treat he won't come to him, and if he does - he pees. Any suggestions???
