Oh Staci Bella used to do little "excitement pees" as I liked to call them. She was 100% housebroken but if company came over there would be a little spritz at the door as she ran to welcome them. Strangely she hardly ever did this when family members came home. Gradually over time they have stopped. The one place where this still happens is at the groomers. As soon as we get inside, and Linda comes over to pet her and say hello, a little dribble comes out. Fortunately Linda says that other dogs do that too. Maybe now she is peeing from stress (?) because I am sure this is not her favorite way to spend an afternoon.

Using the bell made me think of my brother-in-law's german shepherd. She asks to go in and out so much that they installed a handle on their storm door at the bottom. She now goes in and out at will, just moving the handle with her paw!
