Question
I have a 14 month old Lab. There are times when a friend of my son's comes over and when my dog meets him he starts to tremble and pees. It only happens when the boy is around. Do you have any explanation as to why this happens.

Answer
It sounds like the dog is very submissive-what you can try is have the boy give the dog a little treat when he comes over,so that the dog learns he is a friend and doesn't want to hurt him

It may take some time,but this is usually the best approach
