We have a ten month old female Rottweiler and gets very excited whenever we get visitors to our house. She is for the very most part a great dog but lets herself down by urinating all over the floor whenever we get visitors. This is compounded by her lying down, paws in the air and more often than not - laying in her urine.

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance

Oh dear, Duncan does this even now, Mollie used to do it when she was younger but "grew out of it" as she calmed down. No help to you, I know, but you aren't alone !

Danny does the same thing when his "nanny and grandad" come to visit..he gets that excited bless him

I dont really have any advise though, sorry..we're just lucky we have moppable floors downstairs

Same for me OP - we have a nine-month-old cockapoo and when we get home from being out or it's time for her walkies she wees with excitement, then stinks to high heaven of urine until we bathe her

Cockapoo?! Cocker Spanial X Poodle I guess?

Pur-lease can we have a picture I so want to see than.

Start by ensuring that members of your household and any visitors totally ignore the dog for at least 5 minutes when they first enter. No eye contact, no talking to the dog, no touching. (If the dog tries to jump up etc, brush past but do not push away).

It's not cruel, it's a body launguage communication that the dog will understand. Once the 5 minutes has passed (and only when the dog is calm), you can then calmly say hello.

This also helps to establish pack leadership.

It is good advice to ignore the dog as the urination is often due to over excitement, so even when you do greet it once it is calm, this needs to stay brief and reasonably low key until the uriantion is no longer a problem.
From a practical point of view it can also make sense to go outside and let the dog follow (calling it to come with you could trigger the urination ) so any urination that does occur happens outside.
Most dogs grow out of it as they develop better muscle/spincter and emotional control but some never do. The sooner you tackle it the better the chance of gradually changing it though.
With some more submissive dogs looking away and crouching down so as to not bend over the dog can help and not reaching for the dog's head , so it doesn't feel overwhelmed.
Again all this should only be done once the dog is calm.
For the reasons above reacting to the urination can be counter productive as you could be gving off disapproving/annoyed signals to an already overly submissive dog, or any reaction can futher excite an already excitable, reactive dog
As ever with behaviour it depends on the precise circumstances and motivation with your dog

Sorry Tass that made me laugh
just imagined how much the neighbours in our flats would like it if we trailed wee out onto the landing and down the stairs

I was assuming that would involve going out into a garden or the front path.
I think on ground level
In your circumstances a tiled or lino floored bathroom or kitchen may be the best bet

This advice could prove helpful to me as well, whenever I visit my best friend her dog goes crazy when I walk in. After a minute he pees everywhere as well. The strange thing is he only does this with me. He goes just as crazy with others, just no peeing. Others show him just as much affection as well.
I also wish he would stop trying to lick my face, I can put up with him licking my hands, arms even toes when he has tried it, but nothing I do will ever stop him trying licking my face.

Yes lino all down the hallway -easily moppable ! Think our carpet lasted less than 8 weeks after we adopted him
