(which it can be for some dogs) <br /><br />Aside from doing greetings outside or on linoleum, have the guests ignore her for 20 minutes minimum. Then they can calmly say hello if she comes over to them again. She will be less likley to pee then.<br /><br />It is generally an appeasement signal, not to be confused at all with housetraining. If you get after them for it they will think you are missing their cue and pee MORE. <br /><br />It has nothing to do with dominance at all. It is either submissive urination or over stimlated urination. Dominance peeing would be marking, which is far more deliberate with a specific target. Very few dogs are truely interested in status over humans, tho some training shows might have us believe otherwise. <br /><br />Another note, dogs never completely empty their bladders. This way they always have scent for marking at the ready. <br /><br />I hope that helps!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14524000425567342719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055333273372123918.post-28499754976960030742009-08-14T09:03:30.738-07:002009-08-14T09:03:30.738-07:00Hi,

She pees in excitement when we have people come over at our house (it's happened a couple of times already), so when we have friends coming over, we try and bring her out to pee first before our friends' feet are 'blessed' with her 'shower of blessings'!!<br /><br />I noticed that it's gone away after she turned one year old.. although we still try and bring her out to pee before our friends come over in case of 'accidents'. <br /><br />Good luck.. I am sure Africa will outgrow it.. I reckon it's more like a case of over-excitement more than lack of confidence cos like what you said about Africa, Hershey seemed pretty pleased with herself when she done the 'deed'.Huskee and Hersheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284037178971952418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055333273372123918.post-29747529079464093172009-08-13T22:06:51.658-07:002009-08-13T22:06:51.658-07:00Opps.

I was chatting to the owner...seems it is a Boerboel - raised WITH lion cubs and now thinks its a lion herself! They can have ATTITUDE, this breed, so I would consult widely on the Peeing thing.

She's a poodle, not very well trained, who gets overly excited every time she sees me. In her case, it's a dominance situation, because she is used to treating people the way she wants, and she knows she can't with me, but she still wants to, and somehow, the whole thing becomes too exciting. If Africa doesn't have a dominance thing, I think it's just pure excitement, and I would suggest doing it more often and just making sure she's calm. If not, try making her sit by your side?Esther Garvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07499704062488259082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055333273372123918.post-90076345084809000692009-08-13T12:48:33.660-07:002009-08-13T12:48:33.660-07:00Oh dear!
