The main training goal is to build confidence and to redirect the dog’s mind to other actions than urinating when concerned or excited.

Here are 7 tips to help:
• Don’t attempt to reassure your dog or reinforce his actions. Keep quiet but relaxed. Ignore his behavior.
• Familiarize him gradually in small stages with noises, people, and other dogs. Don’t rush him into situations and experiences.
• Use a crate when you cannot supervise. Put his crate near a door allowing him to get outside quickly, potentially avoiding an accident.
• If he urinates don’t say anything, get him outside and then clean up without him seeing you do this.
• When out in the yard, do not call him up to you but walk slowly around with him.
• Do everything slowly and work at making your body language calm and unconcerned.
• Be non-threatening. Don’t stare at him or show displeasure no matter how you feel.
