Submissive Urination in Dogs

I realize this is probably not your favorite topic of conversation, however for many dog owners it is a problem.

There are a lot of reasons for submissive urination in dogs, including some valid medical reasons. If your dog has suddenly started urinating when scolded, excited or when introduced to new people or pets, you should first check with your vet to insure there is not a medical problem.

Puppies and older dogs can sometimes have trouble controlling their bladders.

Dogs, like humans can be very sensitive and when frightened or excited can have an accidental leaking episode. Try changing your training and correcting style to a more positive training method, using a system of all natural dog treats rewards for positive behavior and avoid scolding your dog.

If your dog feels insecure or doesn’t recognize you as the Alpha human, then he can become overly submissive and frightened when confronted with new people, or situations.
