I have a 8 month old female wolf/husky. When someone comes to the house whom she knows, she gets so excited she pees all over the floor and the person feet. A friend came by the house and ignored Keta for about 10 minutes. After that the friend gave Keta attention by petting her and Keta peed all over the floor. Any suggestion?

I would Google submissive urination. It's usually something puppies grow out of, but there are things you can do to help. I would not scold her for this kind of peeing - she can't control it, and she's not doing it to make problems.

Here is a very helpful link about it:

Because in the question you stated she gets excited, I would say that it is the excitement and not submission or fear. So No Touch, No Talk, No Eye contact until she is calm. Its possible that your friend may have triggered it to, by making the dog even more excited without realizing it.
