I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY 4 MONTH OLD ROTTY PUPPY SHE HAS A SERIOUS WEEING PROBLEM IF SHE GETS EXCITTED SHE WEES EVEN IF SHES NOT SHE WEES DOESNT MATTER WEITHER YOU ARE TICKLING HER TUMMY OR PATTING HER SHE WILL WEE OVER YOU, SHE NOT TIMID IN ANYWAY....IF YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR ME PLEASE LET ME NOW IM AT A LOSS!!!!!

Hiya,
Dont panic, its not a serious problem at all, its normal! Its excitement/submissive urination, LOTS of bitches do it.

Dont really know what to suggest to stop it, because ive never had a bitch puppy.......what i will say is whatever you do do NOT shout at her, or show any displeasure at her weeing when she greets you, as this will make it worse!

Sorry i cant be of more help.

Em (ps, please dont post in capitals, its hard to read, and is considered to be 'shouting')

Thanx for your reply, i have had bitches before but this is the first of a weeing one lol, i havent had any problems before Sheila, she acts silly which is her going through her silly puppy stage, but she will wee even when shes running around, really weird i now, i just hope you are right and hope she grows out of it, you have been of great help thank you.

It is possible that she has a urinary infection, such as cystitis, I would check this with your vet.

Staffys are quite prone to weeing when excited to ;)
As long as pup is checked by the vet for no infections etc I wouldnt worry too much
As Em says its quite normal and will probaBLY lessen as pup gets older.

hi I had a bitch growing up who had the same problem, what we had to do was just ignore her when you first get in and dont let visitors fuss her right away just let her come and sniff round you, our dog grew out of it eventually :)

I agree totaly with the advice given by Claresanders, my Golden Retriever bitch used to do this as a pup; and initialy ignoring her, (until we got her onto the tiled floor in the kitchen )
worked very well until she grew out of it.

liberty :)

Edited to add, she also managed to wee, when sitting, maybe my dog was just a weird pup   :D

No i have taken Sheila to the vet and she said she is in excellent health and no problems that she can see........so i am still un sure!
do you have anymore ideas? if so please reply

Take her outside when you greet her (so long as you have a secure garden) so she can wee if she has to without anyone getting upset.  Teach her to 'sit' when she says hello, as most dogs physically can't wee if they are sitting straight.  Ignore the 'simpering' behaviour - simply turn away from her when she starts it.......  Most dogs do grow out of it, and if you follow these hints it will happen quicker.

Hi Digger, She is an outside dog, i dont get cranky with her for weeing, i just ignore the fact that shes doing it, and keep tickling her belly, and she must be the exception to the rule because she wee's when she sitting down and if shes not sitting all the way down she will wet your leg or hand(not the best thing) must i still ignore that fact.....im at a lost cause and i thank everyone for writting and helping me,..i just hope she grows out of it, and soon!

My lab had the same exact problem. After a while she just stopped doing it. What we would do is, when we got home, let her come outside first so she can do it outside and then tell her to go potty and she would go to her "bathroom" If she did it inside the house, i would open the door and tell her the same exact thing. She does not do it anymore.

The thing is shes already out side, shes not allowed inside at all, i go out the back and spend most of the day their either gardening(in which she doesnt help much by walking over my plants lol) or just pondering around in the garden she is fine until you touch her she can be lying down beside you and as soon as you touch her she wees, she not a timid dog and i DO NOT smack her or even get angry with her i ignore the fact shes done it, she was getting better, when i started to say" No dont be silly" but the lady at obedience training said that was the wrong thing to do and say.....but she hasnt told me how to help it or stop it!!...she added that she will grow out of it, but my vet was saying some dogs are just peey dogs and never grow out of it!!!

There's usually more body language from a dog than just weeing - as soon as you see this STOP tickling, stand up and turn your back - you're not prepared to talk to her until she sorts herself out.
