EXCITEMENT URINATION

Why does our dog urinate whenever he gets excited?

In contrast to submissive dogs, some pets will urinate when they have trouble dealing with excitement, such as when their owner comes home or when they engage in intense play. Most often this occurs in younger, high-spirited dogs, and it stops without intervention on the part of the owner as the dog matures. You should take the dog to a veterinarian to rule out any underlying medical causes. Also, try to keep greetings low keyed and avoid exuberant playing indoors.

A dog that urinates out of excitement shouldn’t be reprimanded. Instead, clean up the urine spot promptly using a product that eradicates the urine odor. This will reduce the risk of the dog urinating in that spot again.
