same same,I changed the when get home routine to...I come in gate and squat down and give quiet pat when dog comes over...no hype or pressure,works most of the time.the other time she will still pee is coming off chain at kennel.....the excitement is just too much.look away and wait...then continue.

re the stand between legs...shut them.if dog wont go infront,turn around,dog now in front...stay CALM....you will get there...its possibly/probably all the nervous tension in air due to the bubble thing,not to mention there is a hell of alot more dogs/people waling around than usual.
