We have a 7 month old female yorkie who pees everytime she gets excited. It doesn't matter how many times we've had her out, she still seems to find some urine in her somewhere. Instead of getting better with age it seems to be getting worse. Anytime she comes in contact with someone new she ends up peeing all over them. Even when I come home from work she pees all over me. It's so frustrating. I asked the vet and he said to just hope she out grows it. Does anyone else have this problem or a solution?

Thanks for the suggestions. We've tried ignoring her, and it helps somewhat. The problem is that we crate her during the day, and as soon as she sees us come into the room she gets excited and pees even if we don't pay attention to her...

She's not peeing because she's ecxited. She's peeing to show you that she is submissive to you. If you take her to training they should be able to help you curb the behavior.
You could try to ignore her when you first come in or have your guests ignore her when they first come in, and after things have calmed down (5 or 10 minutes) then have her sit to be pet. I hope this helps! Good luck!

A former roomates dog had this problem a lot. She didn't grow out of it until about age 5 or 6. Bascially you have to approach the dog slowly and gently. No sudden movements. If she rolls over on her belly, definitely don't pet her, because this will ALWAYS trigger it.
The only advice anyone can give you on this is to be patient. It will stop eventually.

I asked a similar question on here recently. I was told it was normal, and to hope they'd grow out of it too. One suggestion that I do have, is to try to ignore her when you first walk in the door. Dont pet her or play with her, until she calms down. Just keept pushing past her, doing what you need to, then once she realizes it's you, the same old you as always, and she clams down, then pet her. Try to keep her as calm as possible. With guests, make her calm down before they pet her as well

It's called submissive peeing. My Boston Terrier does this and I just wipe up the piddle after her. Her's isn't usually that much. Just a dribble here and there but it is irritating sometimes and I've never known what to do about it!

My sister had that problem with her cocker spaniel. She would just request that people approach her dog slowly and not get her overly excited. By a year the puppy was over that phase and doesn't jump up on people unless encouraged to.

You're obviously dealing with urine clean up issues...
Here's a good interview I conducted with Philip Doolittle of Odor Destroyer. If you’re looking for information on pet stains and odor issues, this is probably worth reading.

One thing you can start doing is to basically ignore your dog until she calms down. By giving her attention when she gets excited, you are inadvertantly reinforcing that behavior. Once she is calm, then show her some love and praise her for it.

I have heard about this happening before...maybe not as much as your pup, but still. I guess the vet's suggestion is a good one: Hope she out grows it. Good luck!

It's a dog thing. My son and his wife have a five year old dachshund she till does that. I have a four month old basset and he does it. It' exactly what you called it "Happy Pee" LOL!!! Thanks for the name, my kids will love it!! My son says it's the price we pay for the unconditional love and companionship.

take her to a training class for young dogs to see if that could help. if it's a big problem, there are doggy diapers you can get at the pet store.
