I'm really going to try the walking out side thing. I think it will really help.
Also, dose the submissive urination thing mean I am doing anything wrong?
Is he submissive cause he's afraid of me? or is it a pack leader thing or what? I'm new to all this so I'm not sure how this all works.
He may be peeing because he is just excited to see you. If your first interaction is when you bring him inside, try to meet him outside. If he pees out side mark that behavior with "good pee".
He dose it the most when he's been out side for a little while and than I bring him inside. When I bring him in he gets so exited, even if I don't pett him. He just go's crazy.
I have tride crating him for a few befor I let him run in the house to make him calm, but now matter how long he's in his crate he still go's crazy.
Anytime a dog is released from containment, be it a leash, a car or a crate--excitement levels can go up. If you're finding the the biggest issue is when your dog is running in the house--don't let him run in the house! Have you tried tethering your dog to you when you're inside? It make make the transition from being outside a little less hectic.
And no, it doesn't necessarily mean your pup is afraid of you. It's either excitement, submission or both (lots of pups do it for both reasons, IMO). However, as was already posted, your actions do have an impact on how often it happens: You (and your guests) can make it better or worse.
Again, patience and maturity are the only cures that I know of! As the pup ages, situations become more familiar and less intense and they will have more control over their bladder (and mind) as well. In the meantime, it's all about prevention and damage control in the way you live with your pup.
Try the tethering...see if that helps. And fyi...one pee break in the backyard does not an empty bladder make! You might want to extend your pee sessions to see if he'll go again.
