Accidents

Whenever our 2 yr old Boxer female gets excited she pees on the floor, maybe 2 or 3 times.
Any suggestions on how we can avoid this?

Me being a vet in all I have learned that there isn’t really to many options to help this problem but you might want to try a special diaper for your dog.I would also try to keep her from getting to excited.
Good Luck!
Also,you might want to take her to your local vets office so they can give you more reccomindations on the type of diaper she might need.

That’s called submissive urination, and many dogs outgrow it as they mature. You can help the situation by taking some basic obedience classes with your girl. The confidence she builds as a result of the classes and the trust she develops in you will help alleviate the anxiety that causes submissive urination.

In the meantime, make a point of greeting her outside, playing with her outside, and training her outside. That’ll keep the accidents out of your house while you’re working on building her confidence and trust.

Good luck,

I agree that she needs to build some confidence. One thing that you can do that will help is avoid intense greetings with her when you enter the house. Ignore her as if its no big deal when you come in and wait about 3 - 5minutes before greeting her but don’t make a big fuss during the greeting and advise guests to do the same.

My Dog Duke had the same exact problem! Especially whenever anyone new came to visit. Whenever he got excited he’d pee all over the floor. He just eventually out grew it. Was annoying in the process though. Took a lot of patients and a lot of potty training reinforcing.
