Will Submissive Peeing Go Away On Its Own? | Ep. 259

Episode 259

Tuesday, September 22, 2026 • Duration 26:42

“Excite” pee, “happy” pee, “affection” pee — these are all versions of submissive pee. It can be somewhat endearing when they’re young — they’re just so happy to see you that they can’t contain themselves!

But this “cute” puppy trait can quickly turn into a major messy habit and get worse as they get older, if it’s not addressed correctly and consistently early on.

Potty Accidents: Should Your Puppy Signal You? | Ep. 256

Episode 256

Tuesday, August 25, 2026 • Duration 16:07

Barking, whining, ringing a bell, scratching at the back door — shouldn’t your puppy be able to tell you when they need to potty?

That would be wonderful for many of us, but the truth is most pups do not give a natural cue to alert you that they need to go.

As they grow you may start to pick up on their “signs”, or even begin to teach them a signal for you BUT there’s other things we would recommend first to get control of those potty accidents at home and get them potty trained quick!
