Excited peeing is an unfortunate and embarrassing problem. Pepper was spayed as a tiny puppy which may have contributed to the problem. My first suggestion is to have the Vet check her for a urinary tract infection. If she was spayed at 6 months and this began after that, then it may be homone related incontinence. The Vet may be able to suggest medicaton or training to help you all.

Housetraining Brooklyn was no problem. Not until she was about 6 months old, she started urinating on her bed, the couch, and the carpet. It sounds a little like your dog Abbey. I found that all three places Brooklyn urinated were the same places she slept. At six months old dogs usually around that age reach puberty. Brooklyn isn't spayed/neutered. It is normal for a dog especially an intact dog to mark it's territory. Especially to protect places where he/she sleeps. She often did when she suspected someone was trying to take her bed or push her of the couch. Marking territory is normal for dogs. It is a way of saying this is my area, please don't invade it. Marking is usually found in males but less often females. It should be corrected right away. You also need to show you are the alpha role. Marking is a sign of disrespect for your authority.

My medium sized dog urinates in the house. I think when she feels threatened. See examples below. How can we stop this? Answers at Dogster Answers.
