i have a min. dachsund and when she gets excited she will pee on u!Anything that can be done?

Answer 1

If your dog is young they do grow out of it.

How to stop any dog from doing this over time is to not let the dog get to that high excitment level. As soon as you see the dog starting to head to that level distract the dog and as it to do something for a treat.

If you're at home, walk away from the dog, ignore the dog, pretend it does not exist until it calms down.

Answer 2

Yes, this is called excitement urination and there's lots you can do to help combat it.

First, begin practicing serene homecomings:

This essentially takes all the excitement out of your coming home to her, which helps her stay calm and will reduce her peeing. Practice that stringently and you'll see huge results (give it several weeks, of course).

For visitors to your house, if the same thing is happening, they need to practice a scaled-down version of serene homecomings. When they are coming over, your dog should be put in a sit/stay or down/stay and not allowed to rush up to them. You might need to leash her initially to prevent this. The guests should not awknowledge her in any way - they should pretend she's not there and completely ignore her. Only when she's calmed down can they slowly and calmly address her by petting.
