One time it might be a little puddle and another it's like he relieves himself entirely. It's not consistant so I don't know if I should correct or not. Usually we end up taking him outside and he finishes if there is enough to finish doing his business. If there is I say good boy if not I ignore him.

Since you said it happens first thing in the morning and right after work, it is likely excitement at seeing your husband. If this is the case, my suggestion would be that when he first comes home or first gets up, to ignore the chi for a few minutes...give the chi time to get over the excitement of seeing him. Whether it is submissive or excitement, the worst thing to do would be to scold because it isn't intentional. If it is more than just a little bit...for instance if the chi is actually squatting down and doing all it needs to do, it may be a battle of wills going on or else a lack of full training. If this is the case, ignoring it would NOT be good. A firm no and taking to the right place immediately is in order. Marsha Do not tell God how big your storm is.

Dog peeing on us I have recently adopted/rescued a 6-8mo old unaltered chi male I've named Tater Tot. He was doing great in housebreaking until recently. I'm not too worried about that right now but about him peeing on us. Every time my husband goes to take him out into the yard to do his business either in the morning or after work the dog pees on him. He doesn't even have to pick him up. Tater will pee at his feet. He hadn't done it to me until this past Thursday. I went to take him out and he peed on me. Has anyone had this problem before? I don't know if it's submissive peeing or not. The lady we got him from said that he bonded better with females but he gets along good with my husband any other time. I'm working on litter training him so he won't have to be in a crate all the time while we're gone. Any help or suggestions would be grateful.
