Droolers, I need any advice I can get. <div><br></div><div>Beauregard has been with us for four months and suddenly he has developed a serious urination problem. I'm 99% sure that it is a submissive thing but it came out of NOWHERE so my husband and I are concerned. It has gotten to the point where my husband can't even approach Beau without him cowering and peeing where he stands. Just this morning we were all outside and Beau urinated seven times within two minutes, each time when my husband approached him or touched him. He even did it once when I approached him and that's never happened before. </div>
<div><br></div><div>The only thing I can think of is that we got Beau shortly before my husband's school year was over (he's a high school teacher) so for the large part of Beau's formative time with us, my husband was home 24/7 with him. Now, Matt is back to work and Beau and our other basset, Sally, are home during the day while we're both at work. This is the only thing, other than perhaps a medical issue, that I can think of that would be causing this. Even last night I went down into the basement to do laundry for a few minutes (Beau doesn't do stairs so he was stuck up top) and when I came back upstairs I was greeted by a big puddle of pee. He is 100% housebroken and doesn't mark in the house, so is this a terrible mix of separation anxiety and submission? </div>
<div><br></div><div>I know there is nothing to do but ignore submissive urination, but this seems out of control. Any ideas or advice? I'll even take sympathetic stories at this point.</div><div><br></div><div>Drool to all in need,</div>
