Emotional bladder.. I think

My boy, Zappa, is about 6 months old, and I’m having training issues. He’s good with pooing outside, but it seems he pees when he’s excited. I think he has an emotional bladder because he pees whenever my fiance goes to pet him or someone new goes to pet or play with him. I’ve managed to get him to stop preying when I play with him, but still. I don’t even know what question to ask. Is this a training issue, or a vet issue? I’ve taken to putting reusable diapers on him, but he is not the biggest fan. On a side note, he loves his pajamas.

Separation Anxiety

Help 🙄 Baby Bruce hates being alone. He was okay in his crate for naptime while I work… but then Daddy had 2 weeks of vacation and it all went out the window.

He isn’t scared of his crate, and goes in for his special crate treat and everything. But he gets very upset the minute he realizes he’s alone…

I work from home, so when he can’t settle, I can’t really work. Starting in January, I’m being “voluntold” to go back to the office to cover lunch breaks for people not even in my department. It’s a 45min drive each way, so I could be gone up to 5 hours, 2 days a week.

We also just finished a 2nd round of treatment for giardia, coccidia, and roundworm. Potty training has been going really well, and he sleeps all through the night, most nights. The plan was to bring him to Nana and Papa’s when I have to go in, but they won’t let him come over until he’s totally clear of all parasites – despite the vet saying it’s fine. (I understand preference and what not, but it throws a wrench in the plans)

So… any advice? I’m not above bringing him with me to work – but my boss is pretty stuffy about dogs at work. Suggests I throw him in his crate with a potty pad and leave for the day – to give you an idea.
