My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Rocky is a beautiful good dog. His birthday is 6/14/2021. We had him since 8 weeks and he is definitely house trained. When we got him they told us he was the most timid of the pack and it shows. He has a been having an ongoing issue with submissive urination up until 3.5 years old when given a command or when scared but it has improved over time. We had a trainer which helped a little but it’s been a long time of us dealing with it. He loves food is very food motivated so recommend continuing to set boundaries with that. He is not food aggressive though just loves to eat and have treats. I have a 4 yo and a 12 yo he is good with. I do not believe he would have the submissive urination problem with another family I think he just doesn’t like monotone deep voice of my husband. He has not shown any submissive urination with any other males or females, myself included. Other than that he is house trained, a very good dog barely barks and just wants a lot of hugs, cuddles and snacks.
