My dog pees when excited. How do I stop this excitement urination?

Question

My dog is a 6lb male morkie. We got him as a puppy and even though he is house trained and recently neutered, he continues to pee with excitement in the house! We have tried everything to avoid this from greeting him outside, no baby talk, to increasing his walks. His is worse with men. When my husband goes to pet him (during a calm state), he will pee! I am at the point now where I want to put pee pads on him! What can we do?? Please help!! Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 1 year and 4 months old | 6 lbs

I am very sorry this is happening with Kobe. I hope it is reassuring to know that this is a very normal puppy behaviour, and it will reduce with age. You seem to be doing everything correctly. Greeting outside is a wonderful idea. I would also suggest a tactic that may be difficult to start with but will hopefully solve the problem. Do not greet or interact with Kobe at all when you first come home. Wait until he is completely calm, sitting without barking. Then go to him and say hello calmly. Over time he will learn that he has to be calm for you to greet him and will do so straight away. This should ok time help eliminate the overly excited peeing. Please continue to ask questions here on the forum if you need any further support!
