I remember watching Victoria Stilwell on one of her "Its me or the dog" programs, dealing with that. Her focus was on lowering the level of excitement of the people coming home (greeting the dog calmly and treating it when it responded in kind) and also some "drills" of coming in the door matter of factly, keeping things calm, etc., over and over in one session until the formerly out of control dog watched them come in the door and stayed in a sit, just wagging its tail. The spontaneous peeing stopped that way too. Wonder where you could find that episode now? You tube? just a thought shari

She is wonderful - well behaved and very sweet, so at first I couldn't understand why anyone would have dumped her. Now, we may know the problem. She gets very excited if we play with her or when we come home after being out of her sight for very short periods of time - even five minutes sends her into total glee. And then we notice little pee spots on the floor. Once or twice she totally lost it. We will work with her or put up with it, but I wonder if any of you have ever had this problem with a dog? We take her out every two hours and she has no problem going the whole night without an accident - just when she gets excited. She was just spade a week ago but was doing it before and I forgot to ask the vet. She is about 2 1/2 years old. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Gwen
