This sounds more like submissive urinating that you are seeing with Molly. Molly is likely a little fearful, anxious or overly excited when meeting strangers and then this results in her urinating. This is not likely an incontinence issue. As Molly gets more used to these interactions I suspect she will be less likely to submissively urinate. Delaying spaying can help with incontinence issues when female dogs are older but is not likely to help with Molly's submissive urination. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Best wishes to you and Molly!
