He is a Schnoodle and about 9 months old, potty trained and tells me when he wants to go outside. He isnt fixed yet, but we plan on it, im not sure if that will help the problem or not. He is expecially afraid of my husband because he is the one who scolds him when he does something wrong (like peeing on our new carpet). Another thing is he is very submissive, and we have kindof taught him to be that way, because we want him to know that we are the boss. He is fine all day with me when my husband is at work but when he comes home he will stay really close to the ground and sneak over even when i call him. My husband isnt mean to him (though unfortunatly it sounds that way), but it seems that my dog is permenently afraid of him and pees all over everything whenever my husband calls him or walks by him or even pets him. Also it kindof comes out in squirts. Im not sure whats wrong with him or how to get him to stop but please someone help i dont want to have to get rid of him!!

It sounds like your pup is doing submissive peeing. Sometimes pups grow out of it on their own, sometimes you need to do some interventions. Since your husband is the one who's been doing most of the disciplining, your pup has equated him to being the Alpha dog of your 'pack'. He may be confused about what is good behavior and bad behavior, and one reaction dogs like this have is to pee when they see the 'Alpha' dog enter the house/room/etc. Best thing you can do is have your husband ignore your pup when he comes home from work. Don't make eye contact, don't pet him, just enter the house and let the pup relax a bit. Then when your pup seems to be a bit more calm and relaxed around your husband, have him pet him or give him a treat. Don't have him bend down to pet the pup. He should remain standing. Also make sure the pup comes up to your husband first. Don't have him approach your pup. Another thing your husband should try to do is play more with your pup to build up his self confidence. Make your pup feel more like an equal instead of an underling.
I know from experience that it's not easy having a pup with submissive peeing. But please be patient. He will come around!

you should reintroduce your pup and husband.. (when you're husband isn't going to yell at the puppy.) your dog can't control his bladder and it's going to take some time if he even stops at all... that's a problem with the smaller breeds that you take on when you get the dog. your husband needs to stop, he's obviously doing something wrong iif the dog is afraid of him. only yell at him when you actually catch him in the act or he won't know what he did wrong and it will result in being afraid. the dog should know you're boss but don't take it too far.
my puppy also gets very excited when people come home from work or wherever and she has this happen to her too so we make it a habit of going straight outside with her and petting her there and praising her. she got the hang of it after a week or so

Your husband has been too harsh with your dog. The way he has scolded him (and I don't know how that is) may be fine for some dogs, but not for yours. It sounds like he is a genetically timid dog, but you have reinforced that.
You can not teach a dog to not be a submissive wetter. You have to prevent the circumstances that lead to his urinating and build up his confidence. I highly recommend having your husband work on building your dog's trust. He should be very gentle with him, offer him great treats very often, and walk the dog if he doesn't already. Let the dog approach him instead of him approaching the dog. If he does need to reprimand the dog for something, it is likely that a simple "uh uh" will be enough.

Your canine may be just very hyper. Whilst you move your dog may get extra scared or hyper and pee more considering the fact that of being within the automobile or aircraft. I'd are trying giving him some toys and a lot of water and meals whilst you leave. Also that you would be able to get detailed sprays so your dog doesn't pee there. Your canine simply may need to go to the toilet. Are attempting spending more time with it and being residence with it more.

It's called submissive peeing. I'm afraid its something your training style may have taught the dog to do. Your pup may or may not grow out of it. Your best bet would be to contact a certified behaviorist. Good luck.

I seen an episode of Dog whisperer about dogs that pee when they get excited. (esp when the dog sees a certain person). Do not give him any attention until he's calm. That means, do not talk to him, pet him nor make an eye contact.

Your canines would nicely be in simple terms very hyper. once you pass your canines would get extra scared or hyper and pee extra because of being interior the vehicle or plane. i'd try giving him some toys and far of water and foodstuff once you depart. also you will get particular sprays so your canines would not pee there. Your canines in simple terms would ought to pass to the lavatory. try spending extra time with it and being residing house with it extra.

He's acting just like a little kid! When a baby laughs too hard what happens? Or when a kid is scared what happens? They pee their pants! He's just young, it will pass! Just keep him comfortable and he will grow out of it in time!
