[kevkev]

i have a 5 month old pup and when ever im away from her and i get back she gets excited and wee on the floor this happens all the time anyone know how i can stop her from doing this

Quite simply, you can't stop her! Her bladder is still quite immature and I am told from reliable sources (vet) that bitches bladders are not fully reliable until they reach about 1 year old. However, from years of experience, I would say that most bitches and some dogs continue to spontaneously wee when they get excited. Things will improve though.

All I would say is try to lessen her excitement on your homecomings. Keep very quietly spoken, make slow movements and don't make a big thing of her welcome to you. Difficult, I know because it's so natural to want to give them lots of hugs and attention.

Be prepared as well - if you know it might happen make sure she is left somewhere where you can easily mop the floor when you get home!

If you can, try not to enter the room where she is until you have been home for a while. Let her settle down and then just go in quietly when she has settled. If she is food orientated, try throwing her some food or a titbit on the floor as you go in to take her mind off you, or else throw a toy.

You should try to completely ignore your puppy until she's calmed herself down. The weeing can be a sign of seperation anxeity, which can be common in puppies because they become attached to their owner. If that's the case, you can try repeating the leaving process, starting with leaving for a few minutes and then gradually building it up so your pup learns that you will be coming back and the situation isn't so upsetting for her. Or you could try asking a vet or animal trainer for advice?
