My Rot pees all over himself and everything when he is scolded. Please help.
Full Question:
Hi,I have a one year old Rottweiler. He is great with my two young children but I can not get him to calm down. Our biggest problem is that he pees all over himself and anything else near him when ever he gets scolded. He does this more so with my husband than myself. The only time that it is really bad is when he is really getting yelled at. Not just a little "Hey knock that off!" Please help us if you can.
Thank You sooo much,
Jennifer

Your dog is still not an adult and he is being submissive to you and your husband. This is a normal behavior for dogs, and scolding him will only make the peeing issue worse. Dogs don’t need to be yelled at, they need clear leadership.
