Press Release Body = Problems with inappropriate urination are some of the most
commonly encountered by dog owners. As a matter of fact, inappropriate urination
and defecation is the most frequently cited reason that owners surrender their
animals to shelters.

Before the problems can be addressed with inappropriate urination, it is important
to understand the basis of the problem. There are several reasons why dogs lose
control of their bladders, and it is important to know the root cause of the problem
before it can be properly addressed.

Problem #1 - Excitement Urination

Dogs often urinate when they become overly excited, and dogs that are otherwise
perfectly housebroken sometimes show their excitement by dribbling urine when
greeting the master excitedly. It is normal for some dogs to urinate when they get
excited, and this can be a particular problem for many older dogs.

A lot of excitement induced urination occurs in young puppies, and it is caused by a
lack of bladder control. The puppy may not even know he is urinating, and
punishment will simply confuse him. Becoming angry with the puppy will quickly
cause excitement urination to morph into submissive urination, thus compounding the
problem. As the puppy gets older and develops better bladder control, this type of
excitement urination should disappear.

The best cure for excitement urination is prevention. Preventing a dog from
becoming over excited is the best way to control this problem behavior. If a dog is
excited by a particular stimulus or situation, it is important to repeatedly expose
him to that situation until it no longer causes excessive excitement.

Problem #2 - Submissive Urination

Submissive urination is a natural part of pack behavior among animals like dogs and
wolves. The submissive member of the pack shows his or her submissiveness by
lowering itself and urinating. Since dogs are pack animals, they may show their
submissiveness to their owner, who they regard as the pack leader, by exhibiting
this submissive urination.

Dogs who exhibit submissive urination are usually showing their insecurity.
Unsocial zed and previously abused dogs often exhibit submissive urination. These
dogs need to be shown that there are more appropriate ways to express their
submissive status, such as shaking hands or licking the owner's hand.

The best way to deal with submissive urination problems is often to ignore the
urination. Trying to reassure the dog can give the mistaken impression that the
master approve of the behavior, while scolding the dog can make the submissive
urination worse.
