Excitement urination occurs most often during greetings and playtime and is not accompanied by submissive posturing. Excitement urination usually resolves on its own as a dog matures, as long as it isn’t made worse by punishment or inadvertent reinforcement.
Your dog may have an excitement urination problem if:
- Urination occurs when your dog is excited; for example, during greetings or during
playtime. - Your dog is less than 1 year old.
What to do if your dog has an excitement urination problem:
- Keep greetings low key.
- Don’t punish or scold him.
- To avoid accidents, play and greet outdoors until the problem is resolved.
- Take your dog to the veterinarian to rule out medical reasons for the behavior.
- Until the problem resolves, you might want to protect your carpet by placing a plastic drop cloth or an absorbent material in the entryway where accidents are most likely to occur. Alternatively, you can purchase “doggie diapers” at your local pet supply store.
- Ignore him until he’s calm.
