A puppy can only hold their bladder for one hour per month of age..so the most you can expect from your pup is 4 hours..Any more than that is cruelty..
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.
Submissive urination is a natural response by a dog who is trying to tell you that you are the boss and he accepts his submissive role. Dogs who roll over on their backs and urinate when approached are signaling an extreme submissive position. Quite often a dog who has been physically punished, hit, kicked, slapped or verbally reprimanded in an abusive way, will exhibit this behavior. If you just adopted this dog and have not been the abuser but he is submissively urinating, then you must rebuild his trust in humans. If you are physically or verbally abusing him, stop it..
To rebuild trust or re-establish a bond with your dog, do the following. Teach him what it is you want and reward him with praise and a food treat for complying. This will take time. First, as soon as your dog starts to cower or roll over or begins to look like he is submitting, do not approach him. Wait and let him approach you. Then give him lots of praise. If he does cower or roll over and urinate, back off, say nothing, clean it up and try again. The important thing here is for you not to forcibly approach this dog. Let him approach you and reinforce his non-urination behavior by giving him a ton of praise. Eventually, he will learn that you are different from his last carelessgiver, and that you are not going to scold or hit him. Once he figures this out, the submissive urination will disappear, and a bond will be built between you that will be strong and will last forever.
If you are considering getting rid of the dog for this problem, then you should really begin looking for a forever home for her, as you sadly do not love her enough to be patient..
The next time you are ready to pull your hair out..ask your mom how long it took to potty train you..and if she wanted to get rid of you..Yet we expect dogs to be so much smarter and quicker to learn than Humans!!!.

She is excited and maybe a little scared. TAke her out more often, and when you do, be very calm and low key. maybe get a really yummy treat like chicken and get her interested in it before you open the crate door. Then swiftly but calmly lead her to the door and go outside with her. When she pees outside, give her the chicken.
Enroll her in a class ASAP, so she can start to understand what you want from her.

I would recomend taking her out more often and spending alot of time playing with her. She may be excited to see you and that is why she pees. She may also be doing it because she is scared. This is common if you have scolded her or been too aggresive with her when she has peed on the floor in the past.

sorry hun yet all doggies conflict with the aid of this chewing point. it happened with my doggy for some months. she chewed 8 pairs of jordan shoes, new underware I hadn't worn yet, sandals, chargers, each little thing! i might advise the two crating her on a similar time as your no longer residing house or placing apart her in a interior of sight the place she will't bite something yet her toys. once you're residing house and he or she's working around loose, make advantageous there is no longer something in her attain. while she does bite some thing that she's no longer meant to, self-discipline her. (crate her without toys, forget approximately approximately her no rely how lots she barks) at last she will study that that basically happens while she does some thing undesirable. yelling and hitting her won't do something yet make her scared. and making her frightened of you will basically make her run from you. so, you could the two self-discipline her the way I only defined or touch a coach who does behavioral education. wait and see, it is going to take a little time! solid luck!

Seek out a vet. That isnt normal. People are way too quick to get rid of a pet at the first sight of a problem. Too bad we didnt get rid of people that were annoying so quickly.
