To begin with, submissive urination is not a house-training problem. A weak bladder causes it when the dog is excited or frightened. That is why it is seen most often in younger dogs.
Submissive urination occurs in both male and female dogs, but is more common in the latter.
These two forms of urination are easily diagnosed depending on the context of which they occur. Excitement urination occurs most often during greetings and play and is not accompanied by submissive posturing. There are several things that the owner can do to help stop both of these behaviors. No punishment or scolding should be used. Keep greetings low-key when returning home.
