Golden stop by dog whisperer for tips:

Question
  I have a 6 month old female Golden pup. She urinates whenever I try to hook her up to her leash for a walk. She slinks down low and urinates then moves forward which makes a mess. I know this is submissive behavior but how do I stop it. Otherwise she's a great dog.
Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks
Mike Perry

Hi Mike - yes, your are correct about this being submissive urination behavior.
The good news is that is will end around 12 months of age or less.
Alway approach her with a very calm voice and maner.  Don't act overly excited about " going for a walk".
In time, this should pass.  Sorry, no real words of wisdom...
