Submissive Urination in Pitbull Puppies

Although there are many puppy problems like nipping and chewing and urination when getting overexcited, submissive urination was found to be a big problem with your pit bull puppies. This problem is more common in pitbull puppies of six months of age or younger.

Submissive urination is nothing but your pit bull puppy tends to bend and urinate when you move towards him. Don't confuse yourself this behavior with a potty training problem.

This behavior will get worsen once you punish your puppy for this act or using negative reinforcements. When your pit bull puppy feels intimidated or scared, submissive urination in pitbulls may occur.

How to Solve this Problem?

1. Go close to your puppy calmly.
2. Crouch down and try not to tower over him-so that you're not scaring him.
3. To divert his concentration away from whatever is causing submissive urination.
4. Try offering your puppy a treat next time, if he begins to urinate.
