Please Help!

Please can't anyone help me..
I have a 7 month old bitch, I got 3 months ago.. She's my little baby
I've house trained her, she was peeing in her crate but since I've removed that she's stopped having mistakes - as such!

Whenever you gave her a row she would dribble, or if she got over excited too..
I thought she had a weak bladder and took her to the vet, he said she maybe had a urine infection,
And it was possibly her age and she would grow out of it..

She is very much a Mummys girl and wants to be with me 24-7, a few times if I've left the house and not brought her with me,
She has dribbled (not full pees, just a small trail :S) and today my Mum came to visit for lunch,
She started jumping about my Mum, I gave her a row and again she dribbled everywhere..
It has been about a week since her last accident!!

I am now at the stage where I'm exhausted with it all and crying! I can't help think its something I've done/doing that's causing this!
I have my Uni interview tomorrow and the thought of leaving her for 4 hours is killing me because I know she will probably pee..
If I get into Uni, ill start after summer!

I don't want to get rid of her, she's like my child.. I just don't know what to do, and how to stop her doing this?!

Any help and advice is much appreciated

I can hear your frustration. Excuse my ignorance but whats a row? What did the vets say when you took her? I'm not sure what to suggest. When I first got Moo at about 1 year she had terrible diareah, always over night so on the carpet. I was at my wits end, had her health tested for everything. I ended up changing her diet and it eventually stopped. I thought when it was happening that I just couldn't cope, but with patience she got there. Not much help but I'd like to think she may grow out of it? If its an excitment thing, then thats what you need to concentrate on controling. Welcome to the forum btw, you'll find lots of advice on here x

I think it's a combination of excitement & submissive behaviour. Dogs will often wee themselves a little when they are over excited or when they are being disciplined (either by their humans or another dog).

At 7 months, she's still very much a baby, and I would tend to agree with your vet that she'll probably grow out of it as she matures.

Has she been spayed?

Think a "row" is probably a toy..... using predictive text on a mobile phone....

Sounds like submissive behaviour, and like Caryll say's excitement

a row is a telling off - it must be a scottish word !! LOL

I assume its a verbal telling off you are giving ???

If you have transport we have our behaviourist coming to our staffie awareness event this saturday 18th at Livingston Pets at Home, Kiara is welcome to come to and you can have a wee chat with her about it ?? Free of charge obvviously

i know that phrase, i am a northerner

Maybe there saying row as row your boat and not row as in ermmmm anyone? lol

Hey everyone,
Thanks for your replys.. My internet has been playing up so not been able to get on!!

Lol sorry for the confusing, a row is indeed a telling off haha.

I've had one accident since this post, so touch wood she is growing out of it.
My Mums old dog did the same when she got over excited, I know it does happen,
Just very frustrating when she does doing it with every emotion possible!! The vet did suggest it could have been a urine infection? Hmm

She hasn't been dressed yet, she infact went into season yesterday so she's feeling very sorry fot herself

Poor girl! Let's hope she's turned a corner & she'll get better & better!

P.S. What uni are you going to & what will you be studying?

I'm going to Edinburgh Napier Uni to do Adult Nursing

Good luck! Have you definitely got a place, or are you waiting for exam results?

Hope she is improving bless her. And enjoy uni.love Edinburgh . Had our honeymoon there and love it x
