    Thats bollocks mate I've got a bitch here never had a reason to scold the dog once though when greeting people she pisses.........dogs,puppies especially piss when they're excited just as they do when they're scared. Ive also seen pups that piss themselves through over exitement, but if you read the original post, the fella said the dog is a bag of nerves and cowers when anyone tries to touch it. Dont sound much like exitement to me. My vote would be that the dog has taken a beating, probably more than one. Hi John Not sure if you are reading my replies, the pup was no

My old lab would get so excited at meeting people that he would pee when he was a pup. He grew out out of it as he got older though. I have also seen dogs that piss themselves from fear and it's easy to tell the difference. Fear of what???

    Not sure if I entirely agree with you on this one. I know the fella and I don’t think he mistreats his dogs, while on the subject of dogs been mistreated and thus resulting in them pissing when approached by a person as you put it, I have a Springer at present and she is the most pampered little bitch you could ever find, and yet she still wets when greeted by a person, she is full of life and loves the attention, but wets herself, so I am not entirely convinced its down to a beating that this pup received. Just to add that his other two dogs are fine around people. Is it possible that

    How important is it to socialize a pup??? I must admit that it would be top of my agenda to ensure the pup had been well socialized before I would attempt to bring him out in the field. I was in the company of a fella this evening and his pup is seven months old, and a bundle of nerves the poor pup is, a prim example of how not to rear a pup. It urinated every time I petted it and would cower into its box and come back out again, sorry sight.

    Many thanks for the reply Ben, was out with her again today and she seemed steady on the shot, maybe in two weeks time I will allow her to sit closer to me while I let of a shot and then maybe right next to me in time. Will keep you informed. John

    Right I am now at the stage of introducing my Springer to the gun. For the past while I have made every effort to make noise when around her, bang her bowl on the ground, done some walking near to a shooting ground(clays) and no ill effect on her. So other day I had her in the field and brought the gun with me, now she has seen the gun many a times, always try bring it on walks with me to get her familiar with me carry it. Anyhow I gave her the command to sit and stay, walked some fifty yards form her and discharged a shot in the opposite direction from her, again no sign of ill effec
