Training Your Puppy to Control Submissive and Excitement Urination

Dogs often times urinate to show their submissive status. This habit is often present in insecure dogs or in dogs that lack. Rather than reprimanding your dog, which would only make matters worse, try teaching him new ways to show submission, such as making him sit, coming when called, rolling over, and so on. Make him practice these tricks and his urination problem should soon disappear.

Excitement urination, on the other hand, usually occurs when puppies have not yet developed proper bladder control. They may urinate every time they feel excited, most of the time without even noticing. When this happens, do not get upset or reprimand your puppy for urinating. If you do, then the problem can turn even worse because it will turn into submissive urination. To prevent this from happening, you should increase your puppy’s exposure to the event that makes him urinate. Do this as many times as possible in order to make it so common that it no longer excites your dog. As your puppy grows older or simply loses interest in the event, the problem will be eliminated.
