    Anyone have any advice on the following: My 2 year old American Lab is (honestly) the best lab I've ever owned and anyone who meets her agrees she is beyond precious. Issue: when my pup gets excited she tends to pee. I've heard it's called submissive peeing? This is her ONLY drawback. Any feedback would be very much appreciated, as this happens frequently..... thank you so much! Suzy in RVA.

    Hi Suzy,
    Welcome to the forum!
    Submissive urination is a common problem - although more often in puppies, I think.
    You can find out more about it in this article: http://www.thelabradorsite.com/my-puppy-wees-on-visitors/
    It might be worth having a chat with your vet too, as she could have a bladder problem. (UTI, spay incontinence, that sort of thing!)
    Hope this helps, Lucy
