How to stop my scared German Shepherd from peeing when approached?

Question

I have a problem with a 9 month old German Shepherd. She is constantly urinating when spoken too approached. How can I get her to stop this she has been a very scared dog since we have had her which was when she was 9 wks old. I have tried everything that I have read online as far as greeting outside getting down to her level nothing works. I am wondering if it's possible for her to have anxiety issues or something similar? What can I do? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | spayed | 9 months and 4 days old | 55 lbs

If you have tried everything and nothing is working than your vet could prescribe medications to see if they help. If she seems very anxious than an anti-anxiety medication, like Prozac or Trazodone, may help. You could also try an Adaptil collar and see if that helps. Hope something helps soon as I know it can be very frustrating. http://www.adaptil.com/us/#redirected
