Does submissive peeing ever subside? Does she think of him as an alpha male? He is a big guy! Thanks for your reply! |
| She's still new to the home. It takes months & months before they finally settle in. Do you know what her life was before? Could be she was abused by a male. I don't think OES are more leaky than other breeds. This is quite normal and takes time. If he could do some training with her under a gentle instructor who would keep the tone down, she might come around more quickly. Heck, even just taking her for a walk will help. Generally the more he is gentle with her, touches her kindly, she will be fine. |
| It does take time for a rescue to come around sometimes, and some behaviors may seem odd, but there is likely an explaination for it. Problem is you'll probably never know what that is.
If this is sudden and has not happened the whole time you've had her, I would get to the vet to check for a urinary tract infection though, but it does sound like submissive peeing. |
Get him to feed her too, and take her for a walk etc. Then she will associate him with good things  |
| Our rescue was just about 2 years when he came to us with submissive and excitement peeing... it wasn't very often, and has subsided. We were just always very sure not to make a big deal out of leaving or coming home, and take him straight out to pee so he didn't start getting worked up excited.
For a while we had Mulligan meet everyone outside the house and let him see the person and calm down a bit before we all go inside together. That helped quite a bit, too. Good luck! |
| Barney pees when people come into our house, or when we meet people on walks. My parent's sheepie peed when people came to our house, but she eventually stopped...maybe when she was 5 (she's almost 9 now)... |
| Thank you for all of your replies. This only happens about once a week so it is not that bad. The condition she came in was not the best, so she probably is still holding onto bad memories. She already has changed so much from the day I met her, it has been wonderful to see her feel more and more comfortable everyday! Thanks again! |
