Any time someone comes close to him ( a stranger, or someone he rarely sees) he will pee all over them if they pick him up....it's gotten pretty embarrassing, lots of ppl pick him up and want to pet him because he's so cute and all...not to brag or anything,lol. :)
He is a 3 and a half month old pug..and he isn't SCARED of ppl, he LOVES ppl..he goes crazy and will lick you bunches and doesn't seem to be scared or anything. Why does he do it though?

Because when he is excited, the tensing muscles make his bladder contract.
Excitement urination most commonly occurs with puppies who, like children, do not have complete control of their bladders. The scene is usually one in which you arrive home after being gone a while and your puppy or young dog twists and turns in happiness to see you, and you respond with animated speech and lots of petting. At the same time, he inadvertently releases a few squirts of urine. It is especially important that you do not get upset over this occurrence. This is an involuntary reaction, and any form of punishment, including scolding, will confuse and bewilder your pup. The best thing to do is to tone down your greetings. Walk in the house saying nothing to your pup. In fact, ignore him altogether. This gives him a chance to calm down. Once he has calmed down, you can then verbally greet him with something like, "Hi, Pup." Wait a few more minutes and then reach down and give him more time to get used to the idea that his friend and companion is home once again. After several sessions of quiet, calm greetings, he will learn to hold it because he will realize that he only gets attention when he does. It should not take much time to correct this problem.

Most young dogs will do exactly the same thing as your dog does. It is their excitement level, they get so happy they loose bladder control. As your pup gets older he ,just like a HUMAN Babies will gain more control. Let Mother Nature do her thing, It's all good. Enjoy your PUPPY, love him . He will gain Bladder control in due time.
Good Luck!

my dach will do this. a lot of puppies do. they haven't gotten full control of their bladders yet, and are so excited to see people. we've learned to take him out before people come over, and to warn people if we're outside with him. he's growing out of it, as he gets older, and your's will too. mine is freakin cute too, and he's 6 mths right now. just tell people that he hasn't peed yet, and they need to not pick him up. if they do, it's their problem!
good luck, and enjoy the puppy.
