Excited pee puppy

[Christmascinnamoncookie]

Mitch is extremely keen on humans. He will squeak and do excited wee if he has anything in his bladder when allowed out of the cage, complete with dancing. He is made to go outside at every opportunity, but obviously in his crate overnight, dry. I'm already getting up extra early to let him out-he's also keen on scraping up his bedding, he'll end up on piece of mdf with carpet tacked on top at this rate! My OH often gets in at 3/4am so it's not like he's being left for hours.

They're 4 months-will this eventually stop? I am literally ignoring him and they go straight out once the crate is opened. I haven't had puppies do this before. (Thank god for tiles! How do people with carpet cope??)

Mine used to do happy widdles, but has grown out of it.

He'll mostly grow out of it. But my eleven year old spaniel still has to greet visitors outside (not that we've had any but MrPF made him piddle the other week by greeting him with too much enthusiasm so I'm assuming the rule still applies!) and people are warned that, if they pet him, their shoes are in danger. Most people who we have said this too over the years pet him anyway!

But he grew out of the constantly piddling in excitement phase reasonably quickly iirc.

One of ours did it. It broke our hearts, but it was best to ignore him when we got home/ got up / greeted him.

We had to open the door etc without speaking or even looking.

Once we had a time when it wasn't exciting, the pee stopped and then we could casually greet with no incidents. Now we can make a fuss and the habit has stopped.

It's a long time since we had dogs, as opposed to bitches, but I would expect him to grow out of it. 4 months is still a baby.

Daisy did it until she was about 9 or 10 months.

One of my little JRT's did it to any new visitors for her whole life. 100 per cent clean and dry at any other time but just could not contain herself with the sheer delight of new visitors. Thank goodness for the old flag stoned floor in the house we lived in back in the day!

Honestly, I’m amazed every time I see them how tiny they still are! I think I’m still in the mindset of the huge pups that Zak and Bear were, monsters. I can’t whinge about Mitch, he is a squeaker, adores us, is just excitable and desperate to be with the humans. It’s adorable. Bear has always held it for hours, Goose is similar, the joke is that he had a wee last week.

The OH bought the best thing ever, a spray mop! I mop while they’re out in the garden. I just need a scrubbing attachment, textured Karndean is a git in the winter with dogs

They are still very baby, play for 40 minutes, sleep for 2 hours, preferably on us. Unfortunately, Mitch is destructive, he has destroyed his bed today when left for an hour, so he can have a piece of carpet and a towel. I recall Jake was only allowed mdf with carpet nailed on!

Rocky the jrt is four and a half months now. He has occasionally excited wee’d on shoes! Luckily no one has minded.

but he too gets very excited about everyone and everything! All you can do is stay calm and eventually they’ll calm down. Hopefully ?‍??

Mine once peed on my open stairs onto my dads head who was standing underneath at the time when a visitor came through the front door ?. He did grow out of it by the time he was a year old.

I'm dying! Horrific but hilarious!

My 2yo JRT still lets tiny amounts of excited wee out occasionally. She is usually scooped up and put in the kitchen or the garden as we come in so at least it is moppable. It is drops of wee rather than a full on wee. I don't think she will ever stop now. My sons JRT girl did it all her life too - just tiny little ones. Not sure how I can train Ruby out of it as she is now clean and dry (it took almost a year to be reliable) and I don't want to tell her off as she doesn't seem aware she is doing it. Hopefully Mitch will just grow out of it.
