    How do I stop my dog from peeing when she's excited?
    I have a 2 yr old female Pit Bull and she gets really excited and pees when we come in the house, it isn't a constant thing and she'll go right to her bed when she does it because she knows its bad but I've tried not looking at her but she's just happy watching us walk in the door and then she pees. She also pees when we look at her the wrong way or say her name to loud, I think she thinks she's in trouble but I don't know how to stop her because she knows its wrong but just does it This is her (the white one) her name is samanthaAttachment 22950

    She's a gorgeous dog :)

    What steps have you taken apart from not looking at her?

    Is she outside during the day and then you let her in at night?

    What is her general temperament like?

    Some extremely nervous dogs will lose bladder control when they are scared, such as when they think they are in trouble.
    I have one here that, while she doesn't wee, if you say her name in your 'angry' voice she will cringe and slink away, even though she has never been hit in her life.
    It's just her nature, there's nothing I can o about it apart from try to socialise her and try to make her a bit more outgoing.
    Take her out to doggy parks or get friends/relatives to come over so she gets used to people being around.

    As for the excited weeing, what do you do when you let her in?
    Do you talk to her, and say something like "come in girl" all happy?
    Best thing you can do is just open the door and walk away, completely ignore her so she has nothing to be excited about.
    Another option would be to go outside with her for a while first, even 10-15 minutes so the initial "I'm with my family" excitement wears off before she comes inside.
