pottie when excited

Question
Dear *Patt*,
  I have a German Shepherd who is about 7 months old, she is a crated dog and loves her crate. We are having a problem with her peeing when she gets excited. She does not poop in the house, once in a while she pees in the house, but she is constantly peeing when she gets excited. I love her to death and I do not want to keep her outside all the time, but I cannot take the pee all over. How do I break this habit? Thank you for your time!

     Sincerely~
         Melissa

Answer
HI MELISSA
FIRST OF ALL IGNORE IT AND IT WILL GO AWAY, GIVE HER SOME ASSURANCE OF LOVE AND HUGS AND THAT SHE CAN FULLY TRUST YOU.
I GOT CATHY FROM GERMANY AT ONLY 8 WEEKS, SHE DID THIS AND BY LAW SHE WAS NOT TO BE FLIGHTED UNTIL 12 WEEKS, BUT SOME HOW THE GERMANS GOT HER ON A FLIGHT.
SHE WOULD PEE OUT OF EXCITEMENT OF LEAVING HER OUT OF THE KENNEL FOR THE DAY OR GIVING HER TONS OF ATTENTION, EVEN NOW JUST SELDOM IF SHE GETS TOTALLY OVERWHELMED WITH EXCITMENT AND LOVE SHE LEAKS, WE JUST CLEAN IT AND IGNORE IT.
IF U GIVE THE SHEPHERD TONS OF ASSURANCE OF TRUST IN YOU, THEY SOON GET OVER THESE SMALL HURDELS.  MY WEST GERMAN LINES I AM TOLD BY MY CUSTOMERS HOW EASY TO TRAIN AND HOUSE BREAK THEY CANNOT BELIEVE SO JUST GIVE HER HUGS AND ASSURANCE YOUR THERE FOR HER AND SHE WILL GROW OUT OF THIS EXCITEMENT HABIT THAT IS NOT REALLY A PROBLEM IF IGNORED NOW IF U WERE PUNISHING HER THIS WOULD GET WORSE.  BE POSITIVE IN ANY CORRECTIONS AND THIS JUST TOTALLY IGNORE, WIPE WITH ORANGE CITRUS CLEANER AND SHE WILL QUIT IN TIME AS SHE GAINS ASSURANCE AND TRUST IN YOU.
