Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited.

| Well it can be a sign of submission/scared basically. Do you know the amount? My sis in laws mastiff will do it often and i was told cause she was scared, but I am no expert.

| Some breeds are more prone to submissive/excited urination than others, and Ghost has done it a couple of times when she was super excited. Our Cocker Lulu on the other hand, well, we call her the Cocker Sprinkler. We can't pet her or put a leash on her without risking some serious dribbling on the floor. The big thing, especially if you do suspect that it's a submissive thing is to not punish because that will only reinforce the behavior. Basically when Lulu dribbles we just clean it up without making a fuss. _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword.

| Both Luka and Kitty would submissivly pee when they were little. They both grew out of it by a year of age. Lots of puppies exhibit this behavior, and its something they ususally grow out of. Well, with the exception of Meredith's Cocker Sprinkler! |

Well, with the exception of Meredith's Cocker Sprinkler! Yeah, she's almost 5... _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword.

| In your case, because of the humping, I think the peeing is more of an excitement thing. Humping is a sign of dominance so I would be totally perplexed if he were submissive peeing and then showing dominance. I think he's just getting over excited. Definitely don't punish him for it as that will just make it worse. However, you could try taking him out of the situation when he does it. Leash him and walk away until he calms down, then bring him back. Don't get upset, just calmly leash him and walk away. When he settles, bring him back and repeat as often as necessary. I also wouldn't even allow him to approach another dog unless he was calm (no pulling, no whining, etc). Keep him calm when he approaches other dogs and it should get better.
As for the humping other males, yes this is totally normal. Humping is a sign of dominance. Dogs will do this to an object they think is "mine". I think keeping him calm when he meets other dogs is will help this as well. However, I'm of the camp to let dogs work out their own pack order. If he wants to hump and the other dog lets him, so be it. They will figure it out. _________________ www.itsahuskything.com It's a husky thing... you wouldn't understand. |

| LOL......... talk about embarrassment. Beat up by a girl thus the submissive peeing, but then takes it out on the lil guy to show he isn't the bottom rung of the dog life ladder. |
