my daughsand after a period of time at home alone get excited & wet when touched or petted how do we stop this

Answer 1

Are you saying your dog after being home alone gets excited when you come home and pees? This is normal. Just be sure you take him out immediately when you get home. If it is an older dog it might be incontinence see the vet. If it's a younger dog it just can't quite hold it yet through excitement.

Answer 2

My dog did this for a long time when we first brought him home from the pound. The other suggestions are good. Don't raise your voice and speak in an excited tone when you first walk in (even though you sometimes want to--they're sooo cute!) I pet my dog, say hi calmly, put my stuff down and then tell him we're going outside. I asked the vet and she said it was normal, and might go away at some point. It took a few months, and a lot of cleaning the carpet, but he doesn't do it very often anymore.

Answer 3

That is usually accompanied by the dog laying on its belly and I am assuming that it is peeing on itself when you said wet. Next time you come home, give her a couple pats but don't make a big deal out of it. She probably won't get as excited and won't pee. She is overly submissive (better than being dominant, but still annoying). See if you can find what triggers it- is it baby talk? the way you pet her? etc.
My aunt has a full grown golden retriever stud- if you talk in baby talk to him, he pees all over himself in the excitement. Anything else and he is perfectly fine.

Answer 4

I rescued my dog from the pound and he did the same thing. He is just overly submissive and was abused before we rescued him. He also only did this with me and not with my husband. My suggestion to you is to let the dog out before you go in the house and pet him outside, that way he doesn't think it's ok to wet in the house. This will also save you from cleaning your carpet all the time. I did this with my dog for about 2 months and now he rarely wets when I get home.

Answer 5

The way to remove this behavior is to completely ignore the dog as soon as you walk in the house-do not even give the dog eye contact. Ensure that whoever comes over- friends, vistors, relatives- that they do the same, too. Then immediately go grab a dog treat, while still ignoring the dog. Turn and give the dog the treat, because he will be unable to focus on getting food and peeing at the same time. I know it sounds difficult and silly, but trust me-this will work. Continue to do this every day, every time.

Answer 6

Some dogs always have a little excited tinkle. Don't scold him for it, the anxiety will only make it worse.

One way to minimize it is to walk in the door very calmly, don't acknowledge the dog right away. (I know, that part is hard) Wait for him to settle down and get used to you being home before you greet him. Eventually he'll learn that he has to calm down to get attention, which should help.

Answer 7

thats because she is excited to see you. Once they have it figured out you are NOT going to leave them then they will stop---especially if you are home around the same time everyday.
