Some dogs will get excited when you come home or go to greet him, and he will roll over or squat and pee. This is good and bad. It shows that you are more dominant, but your dog still pees on the floor. Submissive urination can sometimes lead to your dog thinking that it’s alright to pee in that spot. There are a few ways to deal with this situation, and there are many different things that will cause your dog to do this.
Loud sounds (especially yelling), making eye contact, and/or bending over to pet your dog are a few of the things that can cause your dog to pee from submissive urination and should be avoided at all costs. One of the things that you should do when you open a door to greet your dog is to walk past your dog and try to walk to a spot which your dog can pee in. Call your dog to come to you once you are at one of those spots. There you should try to get your dog to go to the bathroom so he will not pee from submissive urination.
Another way to prevent it is to not let your dog drink too much water. Especially if he has been stuck in a room for hours and needs to go to the bathroom. But remember to not yell at your dog if he does pee out of submissive urination. This could also lead to him peeing again. And don’t stop to pet your dog if he has been in a room for hours. Just walk away to a spot which he can go in and call him to you so he can go to the bathroom before you pet him.
There are many other ways that you can train your dog to prevent submissive urination in a spot which your dog shouldn’t go in. These are just tips on what can cause your dog to do this, and how to prevent it. So if you find another way that works, stick with it.
