How many of you have "piddlers?"

I haven't had a boy this excitable in a long time. If Nigel is very happy to see someone he piddles. Also is he is scared...he also piddles. I think he will grow out of this as he becomes more sure of himself...but what sheepie boy is ever that secure? Aren't they all big scaredy cats?? :?

Eggbert did this up to about 8 monthes of age. At 1 year of age, he's still a BIT of a scaredy cat, but no more "piddles" :lol:
Yeah!!! There is hope. I think sheepies are always scaredy cats. They are even worse when their vision is impared.
Oh yes, George will piddle a little, mostly when he is overly excited about meeting someone. The only other time is when I put him in my truck, he doesn't like riding yet, and he piddles slightly when he realizes Mommy is putting him in the big blue beast.
I wonder if all these answers will be boy owners? My mom has a female Doberman that peed every time I spoke to her.
Thank goodness Edgar grew out of it. Every time my sister came over there went the clean floor. 8O
hEY!! Wendy.........Heart does it too :cry: :cry:

When I come home in the middle of the day my routine is.......

I walk in the house quickly as Heart will start that (very) high pitched yapping.

I quickly go straight to the back door and quickly open it.

I quickly unhook the cage door and quickly run out the door so she will follow.

She wets............then I say ......"ohhhhhh!!! Hi! Heart!....Good baby!!!" yadda, yadda, yadda... :lol: :lol:

I do it really quick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just don't know who will excite him to the piddle point. He never does it with me...mostly men and new people.
Clyde has never peed out of excitement or being scared but considering he peed so much as a puppy, I don't think he had any liquid left in his body to do it with. He's never really been scared of anything, he's always investigating noises, is first to rush outside if there's something stirring and will come flying in to defend me if he thinks I'm getting hurt (especially by Bear!). I'd never call him a scaredy cat!
It's mostly when they are little. They can be very brave when they are protecting their people. Mine have usually had issues with things being scary when they are not in their usual places.

Nope, even when he was little he was very calm and even keeled. I think Lucy gave him more confidence!
Any time we lift Pepsi up he piddles. :roll:
He also piddles if you grab him by the collar and try to move him.
I think it's a result of his puppyhood. I have no idea but he's been doing it since we rescued him at 10 months old. :?
Finnigan will piddle once and while when he is excited. You're right, it is mostly when he meets new people. He's done it in PetSmart on a few occassions. The worst was this summer when he was standing in the chair in front of the AC, a dog went by, and you guessed..... it was one very soggy cushion, GROSS! Ahh, I love my boy.
Barney used to do it a lot. Like any time someone new would come in the house, so much so that we started putting him in the backyard when people came over and then let him in later (there was something about them initially arriving that excited him--if they were already inside, it was no big deal).

He definitely doesn't do it as much anymore, but I still get worried that he'll pee on people (like yesterday I had him groomed at Petsmart and he was there for several hours and I'm sure he hadn't peed so when we were done I was sort of rushing him out of the store, but everyone wanted to stop and pet him and I was just looking under making sure he wasn't peeing on anyone (he wasn't)).

So I think it does get better with age.

My parents' sheepie Maggie peed submissively I think (or maybe excitement) until she was about 8, then she outgrew it :roll: Better late than never, I guess!
Mopsy was an excitement pee-er! She only did it when touched by someone she was happy to see - including me. So we kind of did what Val did and then I would tell people when they came in "Don't touch her!" She outgrew it sometime before she was one!
