Hi Guys,
Sorry if this has been asked before, i have tried doing a search of the threads but couldn't find anything.
We have had Molly (16 weeks old) for 1 week and 2 days now and she is almost 100% potty trained. She goes outside to do her business and is quite happy to go outside on her own to do this. We are fortunate enough to have a large high wooden fence that surrounds our entire back yard, so we can keep our sliding door open enough for her to get in and out to do her business.
However when Molly is excited..ie-when we come home, or when myself or my partner wake up in the morning, she pees! Usually this involves me jumping out of bed, grabbing her and running outside before she gets a chance to realise whats happening! She sleeps in the corner of our bedroom in a little doggy bed. She has never been crated.
I know that a lot of puppies pee when they are excited, and its usually only just a bit..unless she has a full bladder when she gets excited in which case it can be quite a bit I have a puppy pee de-oderiser i use for cleaning when this happens so she cant smell where she has been before.
Is there a way i can stop this from happening? I have tried not acknowledging her, getting down to her level to pat her(incase of submissive peeing which she did a bit at first, especially with my partner as his voice can sound quite deep). Usually i just get her to run outside or onto a potty pad i have right next to the door so that she can do her excited piddles there, when we come home from outings/work etc.
Any comments/info/help is appreciated I am more than patient to let this just fade as she's older as its not a big issue but it makes getting up in the morning quite annoying...
