My friend has a 2y/o staffy bullterrier and its a great wee dog. one problem though. everytime i go to see my friend his dog gets over excited and wets wherever he may happen to be standing. I tried ignoring the dog until he calmed down the last time i was there which worked until i looked at him, and then the excitment got the better of him and the flood gates opened.
Aparently Kaiser (the staffy) only does this when myself and one other person calls round. Kaiser doesnt do this with any other guests.
the thing that is common though is the fact that this other person and myself both have dogs too and we both have bitches.
other guests have dogs but not bitches - and i was wondering if this may be part of the problem. Im going to see my friend tonite again and have decided to greet kaiser first outside the house before going in so that the little accidents dont happen indoors.

Has anyone else seen this or know anything about it?

my friends nutty springer did this right up until she was about 9 years old

I dont think they ever tried to do anything about it though

Greeting her in the garden is a good idea
Sorry I havent got any advice
Someone else on here is bound to know what to do :)

How long have you known the dog?. Staffs are very excitable dogs and wetting can happen, its usually a dribble rather than a flood though. If you havent known the dog for that long then it may stop through time. Does he get to meet your bitch on a regular basis. If not then socialising with your bitch more may help as it will get to know the scent and maybe not getso excited around you.

ive known the dog since it was a pup. he has never actually met my bitch though, but saying that, he has met the other guys bitch and he still does the same thing when he comes round.
the fact that we both have bitches is the only common thing between us and that is why i was asking about this as a posibility of the cause.
i think i will just have to greet the dog first outside the house before going in from now on.

I have a 2 year old staffy and the slightest thing will set him off being excited and giddy. Its just the way they are, its their nature.

When I have guests round what I do now rather than him jumping all over is put him in the kitchen for 5 minutes and then let him in the living room by which time he is calmer, ask the guest to ignore until he has settled again, however if he dosnt settle he gets put back in the kitchen and I repeat this exercise until he behaves. Now he has cottoned on that when he is let out of the kitchen and he dosnt settle in front of the guest then back in the kitchen he goes, so now after a few weeks of this he is much better behaved in front of guests. Hes still a big show off though!!!!

thanks for that, it sounds pretty much like what Jay - the owner - has done with kaiser. and it works a treat for all guests except for me and one of jays other friends.
Ive actually witnessed Jay doing what you have described and now that you have described it i realise that this is the way Jay has trained his dog from the start.
And like i said it works great, until i arrive......
I told Jay that i would ask around to see if this is a common thing or is a problem. I suppose its only a problem when I go round. I think i will just meet and greet outside before entering the house from now on.
At least hes not alone with this.

Thanks

maybe he can smell the scent of your bitch on your clothing?
