Looking for advice here -- my husband and I adopted a beagle mix female from the shelter about 3 months ago. She has turned out to be a fairly good dog, except for submission peeing in response to any attention (good or bad) from my husband. If he tries to pet her, calls her name, or even feed her, she pees. Although we've tried ignoring it, it's just getting worse. Example, I was petting her, she rolls on her back, my husband reaches down to pet her as well, and she started peeing -- yes, while she was still laying on her back. She has also mastered the ability of peeing while standing up straight, no squatting, so sometimes we don't even have any warning.
Does anyone have any advice? We're about ready to return her if this problem can't be corrected. Oh, we think she's about a year old, and she is otherwise completely housebroken.
Does she do the same thing when you interact with her? Maybe she was abused by a guy and now has that fear with your husband...?
I have a 15 y/o male beagle rescued from the pound when he was 9mths old. He did the same thing when we first got him, though not as extreme as your case. Eventually he grew out of it as he became more comfortable with us. He also used to lift his leg to poop. Oddest thing I've ever seen, but he eventually outgrew that too. Still does the rollover sometimes when he knows he's in trouble, but the sprinkler system stays off.
Check with your vet to make sure she doesn't have any bladder/kidney problems. Otherwise, he may have to spend a little bit of extra bonding time with to reassure her that she's okay and he's not going to harm her.
Good luck!
