My children had found a 6 month old german shepherd a few days ago. We have taken her to the vet, groomed her, so now she is part of our family! She really is a wonderful dog, we have no idea who abadoned her or what kind of environment she was in. ONly concern is her peeing when anyone but myself or my children try to put her leash on or come in the house and pet her. She goes up to my husband (sometimes) and when he tries to pet her will pee. Sometimes she will roll onto her back and urinate. I am at a loss for how to correct this. At first I thought it was from excitement but the more I watch I think that it's from submission. My husband thinks that she was abused in the past. Will it get better as she gets used to our family?? I want her to feel that SHE IS a IMORTANT part of our family!!
Any suggestions??
Thanks
