Preventing Unwanted Urination.

By Allan

There are a number of reasons why dogs have problems with inappropriate urination and in some cases defecation.

Unfortunately most dog owners don\’t understand why this happens and are unsure what to do.

It can even happen to dogs that have been trained and housebroken.

Many dog owners who are unable to address the problem simply take their dog to the pound as they assume there is no alternative to the problem that they are unable to solve.

Unwanted urination is a very common problem that many dog owners face and is more common than most people would assume.

You will need to eliminate any medical reasons first, as there could be bladder infections that are causing the urination, but aside from that there are other reasons why dogs will urinate.

One of the most common reasons for a dog to lose control of it\’s bladder is from excitement and you will generally see this happen a lot more with puppies. With puppies this is a lack of bladder
control that will generally stop, as they get older.

Puppies are often unaware that they are urinating when they get excited and to reprimand them for doing this will cause confusion. To get angry with your dog for excitement urination can lead to
other problems where the dog will begin to urinate from submissiveness rather than excitement thereby creating another problem that will need to be addressed.

With excitement urination the best cure is prevention and that is achieved by not allowing your dog to get overly excited. And the best way to stop your dog getting over excited in certain
circumstances is to expose him/her to those situations more often until they no longer get excited to the extent that they urinate. Puppies will eventually grow out of excitement urination
as they develop better bladder control.

Submissive urination is something that is common in the wild, where dogs, being pack animals, show their submissiveness to the leader of the pack by
lowering themselves and urinating. Where a dog is showing signs of submissive urination this is effectively a sign of insecurity and is very often associated with dogs that have been abused.

It can be difficult to correct submissive urination and quite often the best method is to ignore what is happening and focus on developing a better relationship with your pet and help to
build it\’s self confidence.

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:

\”Take only ONE. God is watching.\”

Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.

A child had written a note, \”Take all you want. God is watching the apples.

I\’d like to bring to everyone\’s attention of an incident that recently happened at a Gloucester Little League Pee Wee game. My son plays on one of the teams and has loved every moment of this season. At this specific game his team was losing by a few runs at the end of the 5th inning and it started to get dark but everyone was able to see fine with no safety concerns. Coaches from both teams discussed and decided to let the kids play out the last inning.

This made our team especially happy since most of our games we\’re come from behind wins in the last inning. At this point one of the Assistant Coaches just started flipping out and yelling at the Head Coach. Yelling loud enough so not only could the parents on both sides hear it, but every child on the field. I personally heard this one individual use multiple swear words including the \”F word\” directed at his head coach from the stands. I also personally heard him threatening to hit and beat up the Coach when they left the field.

No matter what issues he had, he should have handled in a more respectful manner. I was under the impression that due to the recent events concerning little league baseball, parents, and violence across the nation, that the Gloucester City Little League had a zero-tolerance policy. After these events I immediately took my child off the field.

I strongly advise the Little League to take some kind of corrective action in this matter.

Signed a Concerned Parent

Note from Bill: Dear Concerned Parent, I contacted a representative from the Gloucester City Little League. He said the League was aware of the incident. And he assured me that the matter is being addressed by the organization.

LAWRENCEVILLE—The Rider University men’s basketball team will take on North Carolina State University Thanksgiving Day in the first round of the 2007 Old Spice Classic. The game is scheduled to be played Thursday, November 22, at 2:00 pm and televised live on ESPN2.

\”We are very excited about the opportunity to play NC State on national TV,\” said Rider head coach Tommy Dempsey. \”It will be a great challenge for our players but I know they are looking forward to it.\”

Rider will be one of eight teams competing in the three-game Old Spice Classic Thanksgiving weekend at the Milk House at Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex in Florida. \”I know our players, coaches, administration, alumni, boosters, and fans are extremely excited about the tournament,\” said Dempsey.

ESPN Regional Television, Inc. announced the tournament pairings Monday. In other first round action, South Carolina plays Penn State at 12 noon, Villanova plays Central Florida at 7:00 pm and George Mason plays Kansas State at 9:00 pm. \”It also gives us an opportunity to really challenge our basketball team early in the season against great competition,\” Dempsey said. Games Friday begin at 10:30 am and Sunday they run from 11:00 am to 6:30 pm.

\”These are terrific fields that reflect the credibility and brand value of ESPN and Disney’s Wide World of Sports,\” Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Commissioner Rich Ensor said. \”This is why the Old Spice Classic has gained such acceptance from the coaches and teams in such a short time.\”

\”It is a real honor that the people at the MAAC, ESPN and Disney have invited us to play in such a prestigious tournament,\” Dempsey said.

Coverage of Old Spice Classic games will air on ESPN2 and ESPNU. \”The ESPN television exposure will be great for our basketball program and our university,\” Dempsey said.

Rider has never played North Carolina State. Rider upset South Carolina in 1982-83 in the only meeting with the Gamecocks. The Broncs have played Villanova the last two seasons, and played Penn State in the 1997-98 NIT. Rider is 1-2 against George Mason and played at Central Florida in 1986-87. Rider has never played Kansas State.

An issue was brought to my attention on Friday, June 1 concerning the conduct of several coaches in the Pee Wee division. Immediately upon hearing this I advised several coaches that this conduct was unacceptable and that I will speak to the two coaches involved and settle this.

 

Gloucester City Little League has adopted a \”Zero Tolerance Policy\” in conjunction with the Gloucester City \”Zero Tolerance Policy\” and at NO TIME will this behavior be tolerated. This season we have suspended several coaches, we have had a manager resign from his team, we currently have several parents banned from both the Bill Flynn Complex and Earl Moore Field and recently the Gloucester City Police arrested a couple parents for their behavior and are now facing a court hearing.

We are making every attempt to keep the playing area in which these children play as pleasant, fun and safe as possible. Unfortunately when you have over 75 volunteers, over 300 children and over 600 parents and guest attending games each week incidents will happen.

That still is no excuse for unfit behavior. We will continue to be as pro-active as possible. When a parent signs a child up to play they are required to sign a \”Zero Tolerance Policy Form\”, also the fields are decorated with \”Zero Tolerance\” signs and the penalties.

The Gloucester City Little League understands its responsibilities and when a parent signs up their child they should feel comfortable with their decision and they should expect a certain degree of safety and respect.

Again the Gloucester City Little League is very aware of the environment and will continue to make every attempt to assure each and every player, parent or guest the most pleasant atmosphere possible within our confines.

This time last summer, you were stealing our grandchildren\’s toys out of our yard.

It is obvious you are back…taking beach balls, scooters, bats, basketballs, etc., leaving nothing behind but one scooter and a BBQ grill.

What\’s the matter, not new enough?

Shame on us for leaving them outside but who would have thought you would come inside the yard to get them?

From now on you will find no more toys in the yard.
