Hello, my dog is 4 months old and just recently she started to pee a little bit when I let her out of the bathroom (her sleeping area) to go outside to pee. I've heard that in order to stop this, one way was to stop greeting her with a high pitched "baby voice". I've never done that. I don't talk to my dog that way, i use my normal voice (which isnt high pitched) and all I say is "Come Maggie" in a calm voice.
She is a small dog, and I know shes still young and it happens more commonly in females but it just started happening and im wondering what changed and how to stop it from it continuing until shes 4 years.. lol.
Thanks

The best thing to do is ignore the dog. Dont look at it, dont talk to it. When she calms down then you give affection. You are stopping the bad behavior and rewarding the behavir that you want. She is just excited to see you and will get more excited if you interact with her at this point.

a pair of issues that can help you contained in the couple of minutes period: save comings and goings very impartial. once you come back into the kitchen, do not precise this second pay interest to the canines, do something else for a minute or 2 (or 3!) If getting the leash on is taking too lengthy, get a slip on leash. Use some pee-pads in a particular component to the kitchen, so a minimum of he is going the position precise, somewhat than basically everywhere. this can make it a lot less stressful to regulate the precise section to outdoors at the same time as he starts with the flexibility to regulate this better.

It happens with many dog not just females.I have a male who did it. The best thing you can do is not make a big deal out of it clean it up and move on.
Most dogs will outgrow it in time as they get older. Really the harder you try to fix it the worse it can get.
My nine year old male will still do it once and awhile if you yell.
That is the only time he does it. He out grew most of it with time.
He is a very sensitive dog who really wants to make you happy and has never been a problem dog. He learned very fast and does give 100% in what ever you ask him to do.
He is a Weimaraner and he hunts.

OK think this thing through for a second,I'm a dog psychologist and obedience trainer,so I'm not second guessing this,when in the wild wolves the alpha male/female basically the pack leader,when she needs to pee or hunt she gets one of the lower pack members to watch her young,she keeps them in line when she returns the lower dog the watcher will be submissive IE bow down roll over and pee or squat and pee,saying in her way OK i know your back i respect that,you locking her away then returning is what the alpha male /female did you return IE wake up open the door tada her boss his back and she feels she must submit,try this tomorrow,when you awake don't open her door wide just open it bout 1 inch then walk away to the back door then open it let her open the the door the rest of the way then when you see her turn your back on her till she goes in the yard and pees then PRAISE PRAISE PRAISE
