Excitement Urination in Dogs

People choose to raise dogs because they love them, but there are some situations that many new dog-owning families don’t know about. Have you ever encountered an awkward moment like I did? For a while, I was helping my sister take care of her puppy. The first few days were fine, but when my sister came to pick up the dog, the puppy got so excited that it wanted to jump on her, and then… a puddle of urine was left on the floor. If you’ve had a similar experience, don’t worry, this isn’t the puppy acting out on purpose; it’s the result of “excitement urination”! But you need to understand how to handle this behavior.

Why do puppies urinate out of excitement?

Excitement urination usually happens with puppies because their bladder sphincter hasn’t fully developed and they can’t control urination well. When they feel excited, nervous, or scared—like when the owner comes home, strangers visit, or they get frightened—they may unintentionally urinate.

How to Handle Excitement Urination in Puppies

Although most puppies outgrow this behavior as they mature, you can take steps to help them gain better bladder control:

1. Stay Calm

When returning home or interacting with an excited puppy, avoid overly enthusiastic greetings, loud voices, or exaggerated gestures. Instead, greet them calmly and wait until they settle down before engaging with them.

2. Ignore Mistakes

If your puppy has an accident, do not scold or punish them. This will only make them more anxious, potentially worsening the problem. Simply clean up the mess quietly and move on.

3. Establish a Routine

Take your puppy outside on a regular schedule to give them opportunities to relieve themselves in an appropriate place.

4. Reward Good Behavior

When your puppy urinates in the right spot, immediately praise them and offer a treat or affection. Positive reinforcement helps them learn faster.

5. Seek Professional Guidance

If excitement urination continues or worsens, it’s important to consult with a veterinarian or professional dog trainer. This will help you rule out potential underlying health or behavioral issues. Pay close attention for possible urinary tract infections or bladder stones, as these conditions can also contribute to urination problems, and it’s more than just teaching your puppy not to pee wherever they want.

If you’ve ruled out any medical issues and the problem persists, seeking help from a professional dog training school is a common and effective solution. Many training schools now offer specialized programs to address behavioral issues like excitement urination, providing expert guidance to help your puppy learn proper control and improve their behavior.

Additional Tips to Minimize Accidents

✅ Use Pee Pads: Placing pee pads near entrances or in frequently used areas can help manage accidents.
✅ Limit Movement: Until your puppy gains better control, consider restricting their play area using pet fences or crates.
✅ Be Patient: Training takes time! Stay consistent and patient, and your pup will eventually learn. Also, teaching your puppy to manage their emotions by encouraging them to calm down instead of running around can help reduce excitement urination.
