submissive urination

[mommariffic]

We rescued a German Shepherd about a year 1/2 ago, when he was 9 weeks old. He's the BEST - he's dumb as rocks, but will climb into anyone's lap [yes all 85lbs of him] for a snuggle, he's good with my toddler, loves other dogs so much he rolls on the ground quivering when he meets them, loves cats and is a love bug

But the PEEING.

He's so submissive, and if we tell him "Logan, NO!" he will pee and continue to pee unless we just turn and walk away. He's especially submissive with my husband, and if he even tries to pet him he'll roll over and tinkle a little

It's pretty much 100% annoying

Anyone have any advice or experience with a super submissive huge dog?

One of mine did that after we rescued her. DH couldn't even look at her without her rolling over and peeing. We found the trick was to completely ignore her unless she had just peed outside. As in don't say anything, pet, or look at him. And we put her out A LOT and played with her in the yard. Ours got over it after a few months of getting used to us.

I have a super submissive doberman that pees only when I get mad at her. My husband can yell at her all day, but if she has done something naughty and I look at her, she will pee. Yeah. Its irritating. I've learned that if she is giving me the "I did something wrong" look, I just ignore her and open the door. She usually runs out, forgets what she did as soon as she feels cold, and barks to be let in. By this time I find what she did wrong and can make her pee outside

See if your vet has any ideas. I know there are medicines out there for trouble with the urinary sphincter, and german shepherds are supposed to be especially prone to that
