i have a staff pup that is now 14 weeks old, she now has started to wee when greeted/when shown the leed 4 walks/when she gets picked up/when she meets new people in or out side and when any1 shouts even if it is not to her, we live in a 1st floor place so tryed her going down the stairs on her own today and yes she weed everywhere and ran off when she got out the door (norm she is 100% off lead) i have had her from the age of 6/7weeks..........

is this somethink that she will grow out of?
and why do dogs do things like this coz there seems to be loads of dogs that have this weeing prob is it just fear?
if it is fear then what i dont get is she has been brung up the same way as the other staff we have and he has never done this.

thank you 4 any replys that i get if any Shane

All dogs are different and react to situations differently, it could be that she is just more sensitive/exciteable than your other dog, but they usually do grow out of it.

In your position I would take her to the vet to eliminate the possiblity of a urinary infection, cystitis often affects young bitches around this age (their anatomy seems to be a factor) and weeing everywhere/a lot is often the only symptom, they don't always show that they're in pain except by weeing ;)  Its easily cleared up by antibiotics but if left can be serious ;)

Hope this helps

the older staff was the wild 1 hypo jumps around mouths grunts and head buts, the pup will shy away in any situation with her tail tucked under, if she gets called back into the situation she will come back leaving a trail of wee behind her or run and hide leaving a trail of wee behind her, the older staff wants to be into all he can and has been like this since we got him also at the age of 6/7weeks, but the new pup wants to be on her own all the time and dose not like to be with other dogs or people.

thanks 4 that
Shane

More questions (Apart from the possibility of cystitis) 

What was the set up where she came from, was she part of a litter? or a singleton?  Was she used to living in the house or in a kennel situation?  How well was she socialised with people, animals and other situations?  Was she with the Dam?  All of these can affect how a pup deals with the world later in life ;)

Is your older boy still boisterous?  Does he bounce her?  If so, his rough play may be too much for a more sensitive pup ;)  Does anyone else treat her to rough play?  Some pups love it, but more sensitive pups can overwhelmed by too wild playing ;)

All the above could be irrelevant tho if she's got a urine infection, once treated she could be a different pup ;)

Hope this helps

thanks 4 the help Dill....

question 1 = Dill---What was the set up where she came from, was she part of a litter?

answer 1 = Bolty---yes she was out of a litter of about 10 pups

question 2 = Dill---Was she used to living in the house or in a kennel situation?

answer 2 = Bolty---when i was there looking/getting her all the pups was running around the house, by the looks of it (not in a bad way) it looks like the pups was around the house a lot, there was little patches from pup wast around the front room and there was a food bowl with tinned dog meat in, around the food bowl on the carpet was black where the old food i suppose was walked in over time.

question 3 = Dill---How well was she socialised with people, animals and other situations?

answer 3 = Bolty---she is scared of people now but in the house when i went there there was about 3/4 people that came and went within 30/45min so thats all i can tell you on this 1

question 4 = Dill---Was she with the Dam?

answer 4 = Bolty---no the damm was in the kitchen on the other side of a stairgate well away from the pups, when they let her in 4me to see they got her to sit on a sofa so the pups couldent get to her

question 5 = Dill---Is your older boy still boisterous?

answer 5 = Bolty---yes he is but not with her only with people

question 6 = Dill---Does he bounce her?  If so, his rough play may be too much for a more sensitive pup

answer 6 = Bolty---no she is the 1 that wont leave him alown, if he moves she will go to him and tuck into his face/neck, if he tells her off then she just goes back and i have to stop a little fight b4 it gets 2mutch (she is the trouble maker)

question 7 = Dill---Does anyone else treat her to rough play?

answer 7 = Bolty---no she gets cuddles and strokes, not play from people

Dill---All the above could be irrelevant tho if she's got a urine infection, once treated she could be a different pup

Bolty---she can hold her wee about 1 1/2 hours and not wee anywhere, but if put into any situation then even if she has just gone then she will still wee

and thanks agani 4the help

Hi thanks for that,

Re the home situation (hers - not yours :) )  lots of people coming and going isn't necessarily a good thing, it depends on how the pups are handled, noises, etc.  As an example, my own pups were kept in the living room, but tucked away in a den.  The house was kept fairly quiet and calm for the first week or two and got noisier as they got bigger.  Once they were about 3 weeks old and running about they were transferred to a puppy pen where mum could come and go but they couldn't.  They also were put in a secure safe large yard to play when the weather permitted.  They were handled by children, teenagers and adults, some with glasses/beards. They were accostomed to washing machine noises, saucepans, hoover noises, drill noises, angle grinder noises, car noises etc. (the last few were 'arranged' while the pups were feeding/playing)  We also took the pups out individually for walks in our arms around traffic/people/bicycles/ lorries etc and they were taken out in a cage in the car.   By the time the pups left they were very confident and have had no problems in their new homes and their owners continued the socialisation on a regular basis.   Pups who don't get a programme of socialisation often miss out on valuable experiences and then react badly when they feel out of their depth ;)

Personally I would have her checked by the vet for urine infection and then ignore the weeing in excitement etc.  She's basically giving a submissive signal, which for a puppy is a sensible thing to do :) it will get better in time as she gets older and more confident :)
