She had 3 homes, is 2yrs old. Get's nervous and "piddles" when guests are over. How do I get her to stop?
Answers:
It sounds like she piddles as a submissive response to guests..says "I'm harmless to you, don't worry."
Try taking her outside to greet guests, this way if she piddles, she will do so outside. Once she knows they are friendly, she will most likely not piddle again in the house.
This may have to be repeated everytime you have guests until she learns that the people you invite to your house are o.k.
Even if she doen't break the behavior, at least she is piddling outside instead of in the house.
Good luck
erm, well NO sometimes helps
and if not, then get her a compainion and keep them outside
Make her feel comfortable in her new envirment. When she "Piddles", or is about to, take her outside on the grass. Make a habit of it, and she may learn better. If she goes inside the house, get mad and tell her "NO." and take her outside. %26lt;3
try enlisting a friend with time to spare to knock on the door and come in a few times to get her used to people coming into the home, or put her out in the backyard while people are over- at least you won't have to shampoo the carpets again
scold her and maybe put her somewhere else away from the guests if it continues
It will take time. She needs lots of TLC, and a chance to adjust for the 4th (?) time. It will not be an easy task, but she has to learn to trust and not be frightened. Not everyone can handle this type of dog. You will also have to be careful with her around children, she may be a fear-biter. I would isolate her when people visit until she is more at ease.
Best of luck with her.
