excited or scared pee?

I have never seen this but for some reason whenever my boyfreind pets jazmin and rubs her head she pees (right there on the spot) she does not do it with anyone else. I have seen her pee when she has been over excited when his kids have been playing with her (when they first come in the house) But for some reason when he rubs her head and tells her what a good girl she is and she seems to get happy and she pees. Is this her being excited or could it be that she is in a way afraid of him since he has yelled at her in the past? And how can we stop this. He doesnt get mad at her when she does it because i have explained to him that there is something about him that makes her pee (I told him he turns her on.....LOL )

 

Does she usually lay with her belly up when this happens with him? If so, I think its probably submissive urination, not really because she's scared. Reaching over some dogs heads is perceived as a threat...her urinating is a way of telling him she is not a threat. This (submissive urination) seems to happen more often with men too probably because of their deeper voices.

 

No she does not lay down she just squats right down. It even happen when he uses a baby voice not a deep man voive.....any thoughts??

 

Something is either over exciting her or scaring her. Try having your boyfriend sit on the floor without saying anything and see if she approaches him. Let her approach him rather that vice versa. When she does come to him then have him very calmly let her sniff his hand before he pets her. Maybe this will help reduce whatever anxiety or excitement that is causing the submissive urination.

 

My dogs do that with my BF, Dad and brother too. They did it really bad when they were younger but still do it occasionally. Totally submissive. I agree with what Dukesdad said. That should help.

 

Also, have him pet her by reaching below her head and scratching her chest rather than reaching over her head. It's less threatening. He should also not bend over her. Getting down on her level usually helps, although some dogs don't like it. Approaching her from the side is helpful as well.

 

Hi, what everyone else says.
Also, if she is doing it cause she's scared, the baby voice might make it worse. Sometimes talking to them like there's something wrong, or in a different way to normal, puts them on edge straight away.

I'd get your boyfriend to ignore her for a while. Not in a bad way, but just get on the floor and let her get to know and trust him. She may feel more confident if she's having to work for his attention. Just make sure the attention he gives her in the end isn't too exciting, but fun, and has her wanting more.

Good luck.

 

What's wierd is that she will wallk up to him, lays with him and is very affectionate towrds him. But if he comes in from outside and starts saying things like "hi girl" "or just pays attention to her she pees. So she does go up to him without him calling her.

 

Sounds like she is intimidated when he approaches her, but is fine if SHE initiates the contact. What if when he greets her, he always has treats with him?

 

I think she is submissive. That's exactly what my dogs do. STILL do, and they are almost 9 and 10 years old. I obviously don't know stop it...Delauk??

 

Sometimes the best way is to just ignore the dog when you first get home. My aunt's dog will pee on the floor if you pet him when you first walk in, but if you wait a little while then he is fine. Set things up so that the dog approaches you, since it seems she has problems with being approached. Have the "intimidating" person have treats, never approach the dog straight on, never stare it in the eye, never bend over it or reach over its head to pet it.
