Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The best thing to help with this is trying to avoid the trigger (such as calling her name on a high pitch voice or getting vocally excited to see her, act). When she does not pee in these situations, make sure to let her know that that was the desired behavior with praise and a treat. Remain consistent and this will work for you. Have a good day!
