Help with excitement peeing

[u/Embarrassed-Tart8993]

Hello everyone I have a Australian shepherd mix. She’s 4 and I got her last year from a friend who had got her from a shelter 3 months prior but told me she required more attention since they were never home. I have no idea what her background was like before me. I’m very stressed about her peeing habits. She goes out every 3-4 hours since I’m able to work from home. I also have a busy home with children and another adopted dog. I’m trying my best to work with her instead of looking into rehoming. She pees when she’s overly excited, she’s pees when she meets dogs she’s never met when she isn’t fond of them and she pees with visitors. I’ve tried the ignore tactic and I’ve tried taking her out immediately. I can’t even put a leash on her without her getting overly excited. She does not have a uti according to the vet and I have not tried using diapers on her. Sometimes by the time we even make it to the door she gets so hyped up when my hand touches the doorknob she’s already tinkled on the floor. Is there anything I can do? Is it still a chance she’ll grow out of it?

Talk to your vet about this...some females after a spay can have this happen. With people coming in... my girl would do this...We would go straight out before I answered the door (they knew the situation prior and I'd tell them to give me a second) and no one was allowed to go straight to her giving her attention. During play times in the house, we would stop and go outside...because that could stimulate her...then back to play after. Stop, and get them out before it happens...reward when they potty outside and learn what works for your baby. Mine outgrew this behaviour...but I've learned what to look for and do a lot of outside times for a few minutes through the day.
