	Hi cocker lovers! Just wondering if any of you have dealt with the "submissive urination" issue. Mine used to be really awful, but has improved since I've gotten older. Mom's done extensive training to teach me restraint and build my confidence, which has helped a TON. I still, however, lose control sometimes when I'm really excited, like when I meet new dogs (which is outside, so not such a problem) or someone comes to visit me...I mean..Mom . Mom's heard that it's a common problem with girl cockers and was just wondering what others experiences were.

	Oh yes, don't we know all about submissive urination! Good friends don't knock at the door anymore, they just call Kali outside, so she can sprinkle for them. She is so adorable, most ppl think it's a special gift she gives to them! I ask visitors to ignore both dogs until they calm down, then pat her on the chest, instead of on the head, This really helps, as soon as someone reaches for her head, she will squat and pee. However, the most trouble I have is with ppl. They think it's cute when she pees for them. Kali no longer pees when I come home, because I ignore them both, and let them out to go. I only give her attention after she is empty. Have you noticed that someone with a high piched voice will bring on the submissive pee? My friend has a pitch to her vioce that will make Kali pee everytime.

	Wow...I have noticed that about the pitch lol. Any woman who comes to visit gets tinkles every time! And it is always the visitors who cause the most problems. Yeah, they think it's funny and cute but I"M the one paying for the steam-cleaned carpet. I'll have to try anticipating visitors and taking her outside to meet them . And the petting on the head thing we'll have to study too. I haven't noticed that, but wasn't looking for it either! Thanks so much for your insight--Mom's glad that I'm not the only excited tinkler . Love and tinkles, Gretta

	If you've ever noticed my full name . .. the word "puddles" is used. Us cockers are big on peeing!!!! It's just what we do . . . it's our "trait". The vet told mom that the best thing to do is ignore us (mean vet! - what he means really is DON'T PET) for a minute or so until we calm down. When mom does this, we rarely pee. All our visitors know though that if they want to pet us right away . . .it needs to take place OUTSIDE!

	I pee EVERYTIME we play got your butt. I also pee if I'm startled or if mom uses a certain tone of voice as well. I am just one mean lean peeing machine!

	Oh, I have certain people I can 'urinate' for and others who don't bother me. My grandpa, no matter where we are or how long I have been around him, can under no circumstances touch me unless I'm outside. I pee every time he touches me, even if I'm on mom's bed. So, I play with him outside. Ohhh I LOVE playing with my grandpa..he's soo much fun. Other than him I am getting better about my urination. I do not do it as often as I did when I was younger. Now my mom has people ignore me, I HATE THIS, when they first see me and once I calm down I don't pee (well sometimes I do, but it depends on how the person talks to me). My mom asks people to get down on my level and not to look me in the eye (my brown eyes are hard to resist though). They also can't pet my head, too intimidating for me. I went to my mom's boyfriends birthday party and met 31 new people, no piddling all day. WAY to go me!!!!! Hope this gives you some ideas...our owners love us regardless so if you can't stop it's not a big problem

	Wow cooper...you controlled yourself around 31 people? I piddle just THINKING about all those fun people in one place BOL! And Mr. Puddle Muddles....BOL! Thanks everyone for the terrific suggestions! I'm mom's first cocker and she'd heard talk of piddling cockers, but dealing with it is a whole 'nother issue . Not that she minds...my snuggles are worth the money she's poured into the carpet-cleaner industry . Anyone else have any insight?

	Kali - I am so glad you asked!!!!! I explained it in one of my diary entries . . here is a copy. Let me know if you got to play. Ok, so many people wonder what this "Got Your Butt" game is all about. Mom was just acting really silly one day and made up this game . . well really just the name. It is my most favorite game in the whole wide world! What we do is she'll just look at me and say "grizzly, i'm gonna get your butt" . . which makes my tail start to wag. Then she'll just quick kinda grab my "butt" (right above my tail) and I just take off running! Then she just keeps chasing me yelling "i'm gonna get your butt". It is soooo much fun! I love it. The only down side to this game is usually when she finally gets my butt, I tend to piddle. I can't help it though! The game is just so exciting!!!!! Tell your moms to try it!
