once they start submissive peeing if you raise your voice you are in for the full flow
I've never experienced submissive peeing with a male dog but female dogs will even pee when they are on their backs if they are being really submissive.
For puppies, since we are already much larger and louder (and men have that nice deep voice) we are pretty much 'alpha' to our pups without doing a thing. So if we unintentionally become overwhelming cause we think we have to 'force' our alpha on our puppies we can accidentally cause them to go 'WOAH THERE, I KNEW YOU WERE THE BOSS, but if you need me to belly up and pee all over, that's ok with me too!Quote: I was always told it was a good idea to establish one's self as the "alpha" of the pack but I don't want to make the poor guy pee himself whenever I am around!

I find I choose to guide and lead my dogs in a firm way to gain leadership and it works well. There's some good sites on this at
