My friend has a dog that whenever u call him to come to u he cowers his head sits in front of u and squirts urine all over your feet or the floor. Sometimes he doesnt cower his head and comes over to u and still squirts what causes him to do this and how can we prevent this from happening everyday. My friends getting a little mad at always cleaning up after the dog when he does this.

I have a pitbull/ anatolian sheperd mix who sounds like your dog. He was abused and neglected for four years, until we rescued him. Helping someones dog to trust people is really a matter of time. Your friend bought a dog, and therefore took responsibility for this dog. It will take patience, but if you bend down with a yummy treat, and give him lots of love, he will start to heal. Try not to make to much eye contact either, because dogs take it as a challenge. Remember though, once you get a dog you have to realize your responsibility, and that its your job to take care of him .It wouldn't be fair if your friend gave this dog away. Smile In time, with lots of luvin' he will heal.

also, here are some tips: Praise him alot. Give him treats when he is good. Let him out routinly. Take him on daily walks. Give him LOTS of love. Sit on couches, kneel, or sit on the floor by him. Dogs feel more comfortable when you are at eyesight. And remember, take your time with him and be patient.

Hope this helps Smile,
Dark
