jack russell pup, peeing

Question
hi there, we have a 6month old jack russell "coco", she is house trained and now barks when she wants outside. but when i get up in the morning to let her out of the utility room, she always does a pee, only little drops mostly. it's like excitment. i then let her out and she has her proper pee. is there any advice on how to stop her from doing this?

Answer
It sounds like submissive peeing.  A very common problem in  young dogs - when they are scared, or get excited - as yours does.   The best way to resolve this is to completely ignore the problem as if it didn't happen.  Of course you have to clean it up, but don't have any reaction that is obvious to the dog.  If you do, this can make the problem worse.     She will outgrow this soon if you ignore it.
