'''Is it submissive urination?''' Are the accidents limited to small amounts of urine? Are they accompanied by appeasement gestures (rolling over to show the belly, averted gaze, cowering, etc.)? Do they generally occur when you reach for her quickly, approach the dog by looming or reaching over her head, and/or seem to be angry? If so, you may be dealing with submissive urination rather than an actual potty training mistake. ''Do not correct the dog for submissive urination''. You'll just frighten her and make the problem worse. | '''Is it submissive urination?''' Are the accidents limited to small amounts of urine?
