Hi we are looking after a springer male who is 18mnths old at the moment and he wees little bits whenever hes excited. Will he still grow out of this do you think or is it a medical problem or just the way hes going to be? He is housetrained and will wee and poo outside it literally when hes excited little bits squirt out and it very smelly a bit like marking wee but hes only been here a few hours so not sure how much drink hes used to having, when i first brought him in he drank quite a bit of water. We are totally ignoring him weeing and we just quickly mop it up (ive always got a mop and bucket on the go because of puppy and parrot mistakes). Any advice? Thanks! Oh and hes not neutered yet if that makes any difference!

Well, am on my 3rd springer and everyone of them (all bitches) wee'd when a stranger or neighbour came to the door or in the house. Did it more when puppies but then just occasionally now. Don't know if it is to do with being a bit frightened? Always did it when visiting the vets.

Both mine did it up until about the age of 2 when ever we had a visitor. Mostly it seemed to be with non-dog owning visitors, that had no understanding of this little problem!

Hence, a flustered welcome followed, trying to calm dog, mop up puddle & apologise for said dog being so excited at seeing visitor.

Just one of the many joys of dog ownership I guess!

Bens 21/2 and still does excitable wees, particularly when my father in law visits. Ben now only allowed to greet him outside, that still doesn't stop him managing to wee on his shoes though.

My Benji did this too

He always had to greet visitors outside, but the good news is.....

He doesn't do it now

Trouble is, I can't actually remember when it stopped

Buffy (2 in Nov) used to do this all the time when we had visitors or met friends out and about. She'd also do it if games indoors got a bit too much fun for her. Til she got to about 12 months old.

When it was game induced and I saw it coming, I'd ask her to hold it, grab the lead as if to go out ... and it eventually stopped.

With visitors, just asked them to ignore her as they came in until we all got settled. It took time and a lot of mopping but we got there!

Now she saves it for very special friends that we meet outside the home. I've been told that it's a Springer thing but don't know it that's true.

Murphy did this when he first came to us. He was just under two, and always when excited. I can't remember when it stopped, but it continued to be a problem for quite a while, and he would often run into a room spraying pee everywhere!
I think lots of exercise and outdoor time has calmed his over enthusiasm a little bit. I should add that he was still entire at that time also. (for a couple of days!)

Moxie has always done nervous peeing from a pup, and that has been really helped by CSJ "hold it" Hardly ever happens now.

You are doing the right thing by saying nothing and just cleaning it up. The advise of the other posters is all good stuff!

I'd always thought it a springer thing too - never heard about it in males though 'til now.

Hopefully he'll settle down with you and it will get better. I look forward to hearing the updates!
