Submissive peeing is a submissive gesture that can happen when a dog is over-excited, anxious and/or fearful. You cannot punish your dog for submissive peeing because your dog is not doing it on purpose and cannot help it. If your dog is young, it can sometimes be outgrown. How do I work on stopping it? To help dogs overcome this behavior, along with taking some extra housebreaking precautions, you are going to have to work on getting their minds to calm down. Start teaching them canine-to-human respect, take them for daily walks where they are heeling  on the lead and not pulling. They have to be following you, not you following them.

This should help them not pee from excitement. Recognize any dominancy behaviors if any are present and work at calmly,

There are four critical dog obedience behaviors taught by professional dog trainers: the Sit, the Down, the Stay and the Come are essential to having a well-behaved dog. The Sit, Down, Stay and Come are behaviors that every dog should be trained to do. The Humane Society of the United States says there are approximately 74.8 million owned dogs in the U.S. Ensure that your dog is a loving family companion by training him or her, rather than letting the family pet be part of the problem. WHY SHOULD YOU TRAIN YOUR DOG? Training builds your bond with your dog by helping establish you as the alpha dog. Remember that dogs are pack animals. Their social structure is based upon the wolves they are descended from; which includes a dominance hierarchy and an alpha or lead wolf. As humans, we can take advantage of this, by taking on the role of alpha, or ‘top dog.’ Many dog behavior problems arise because of confusion in the dog’s mind over who is alpha.

Recently I came across an article from canadian researchers talking about the topic. As dogs have similar cognitive abilities to human toddlers, having the same language, math and problem-solving abilities as the average two to two-and-a-half-year-old even though they can’t speak human, a team of psychologists from three Canadian universities decided to see if dogs could work out they were being deceived. Various experiments have shown that dogs are highly sensitive to human cueing and guidance and use human-style gestures such as pointing, head-turning, and gazing as cues to the location of hidden rewards. For example, if they can’t find a detour around a fence in order to seek out a hidden reward, they can do so once shown the path by their human companion. Since dogs and humans have had a long history of symbiosis (living together), researchers from the psychology departments at Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia, University of Western Ontario, and Huron University College,
