I rest my case. Support the dog as you would a small child. Oh, and children should not be lifting a doxie. It is tempting to them as the dogs are small. Please teach your children not to do this.
Some dogs suffer from a condition known as submissive urination.
All of these are symptoms of submissive urination. Submissive urination is a mental block, not a physical problem. The best cure is time. It is the dogs way of saying 'you rule, I would do anything to have your love'. The best method for avoiding accidents is to ignore the pup during emotionally excited times and removing the pup from emotionally challenging moments.
