Here's some information about why your dog might pee on you:
It's definitely an unusual and often concerning behavior when a dog urinates on a person. There are several potential reasons, and it's important to consider the context in which it happens to understand the cause:
Submissive Urination: This is a common reason, especially in puppies and young, timid dogs. It's an involuntary response to feeling overwhelmed, intimidated, or threatened. The dog might also display other submissive behaviors like tucking their tail, flattening their ears, or rolling onto their back.
Excitement Urination: Similar to submissive urination, excitement urination is also more common in puppies. When overly excited, they lose control of their bladder. This usually resolves as they mature and gain better bladder control.
Medical Issues: Urinary tract infections (UTIs), bladder stones, kidney disease, diabetes, and other medical conditions can cause a dog to lose bladder control. If the behavior is new, sudden, or accompanied by other symptoms like increased thirst, straining to urinate, or blood in the urine, a vet visit is crucial.
Territorial Marking: While less likely to be a full urination, some dogs (especially intact males) may mark their territory by leaving small amounts of urine. Though they usually prefer vertical surfaces, they can sometimes mark on people, especially if they perceive them as part of their pack or territory.
Attention-Seeking: If your dog has learned that peeing on you gets them a reaction (even a negative one), they might do it to get your attention.
Loss of Bladder Control (Incontinence): This can occur due to aging, weakened muscles, or neurological problems.
Cognitive Dysfunction (Dog Dementia): As dogs age, they can develop cognitive decline similar to dementia in humans. This can cause them to forget their housetraining and have accidents.
