My cousin has a dog that does this, but only when it sees me or her sister. We're the only 2 people who trigger it, and it's definitely an excitement thing. (I know, Steve, you're wondering how anyone could be excited to see me... <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />. What I do is ignore the dog totally until he chills out a little. Talking to him makes it much worse, regardless of the tone. I don't even look at him, and this does help. I wouldn't freak out yet; he's still young.
Thats the odd part, your right if he chills for a little then he is fine. I just have hopes for him doing therapy work and know if he does that in the test he would be out. <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
P.S. dont be so hard on yourself im sure the dog food store gets excited to see you <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> j/k
I know what you mean, but baby talk doesn't really have any advantages, and he probably will grow out of this, at least I hope so for your sake! <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
edited to say: HEY! I just saw your last post <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />. Sadly, not even the dog food store gets excited to see me, since I have my own distributorships for my 2 favorite brands. <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Ok im at a loss here. Bane will pee a little when he see's someone he hasnt seen in a long time. At first I thought it was because of his bladder size/puppyhood but he is almost 8mos now and still does it. It isnt a fear thing because he knows the people and is in "insane happy tail wag mode when it happens" I have never had a pup that does this so im kinda curious if it is normal to a certian age with some pups? He will even do it after I have taken him out. <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
There's a young GSD at our training club who did this a lot until about 6-8 months, and occasionally until he was about 18 months old! It was excitement (not fear) and waggy joy, and he did outgrow it, slowly.
Editing to say that he's a very nice dog -- stable and not jumpy. He was just an excitable pup.
Thats why I didnt equate it to submissive at first because it is only occasionally and if someone goes to engage him or myself he switches very quickly.
I guess it is time to wait and see Connie.
P.S. I owe you a pm for all the help with his stomach, gotta give you an update. <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
