Dog pees when leashed?
One of my dachshunds, a 1 1/2 year old intact male, pees nearly every time I leash him to take him outside to pee or go for a walk. It doesn't matter if he's been out 5 minutes prior or if it's been an hour. He is a confident dog, but is lower than my other dachshund in the pack order (a 3 1/2 year old mini spayed female).
I have been putting an absorbent pad down before and getting him on it before I leash him, that way when he goes I am able to ignore it and continue to take him out. The pads are made for human use, they're the same as dog pee pads but have no scent/attractant. I have worked with rescue dogs before and dealt with submissive urination before, but every approach that I used with them hasn't worked with my boy. He has been checked by the vet and is clear from any medical reasons for peeing. I have had him since December and this started about 2 months ago.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Ben - He is not marking his territory.
Max - I just clip the leash to his flat collar. He has a prong for walks but has no problem when I put that on. I used to leave his collar off when we were at home, but he still peed when I'd put it on. He is also not a rescue dog.
Some more information - I do not approach him with a dominant stance. I crouch down and allow him to come to me, or call him over. No bending over him or anything like that. I also do not move quickly around him, or grab him.
He came from a friend of mine when he outgrew her breeding program but he is the perfect size for mine (standard working dachshund). I did the two week shut down with him and then moved on to regular training. He is worked regularly (earthdog and hunting) and nothing has changed in the past 4 months since he has been here.
While I appreciate the walking suggestion, that's not what my question was about. Prong collars are also not painful when fitted and used properly, which mine are.
He is trained. He's housetrained, doesn't mark inside, doesn't hump... excited or submissive peeing isn't a training issue.
I've found my own solution anyways, I just leash him up in the crate and he's fine.

ou can cure your dog of a pulling habit without using painful collars, but it takes time, patience, and an unwavering commitment to the golden rule of good leash manners: never, ever let your dog get anywhere when she's pulling. If your dog barges ahead, stop and wait for the leash to go slack, or change direction quickly so your dog learns to stick closer to you.\

do you atach a leash to his collar or do you use a choke chain or a harnes. the tricky thing about rescue dogs is that you dont know their past. this information would be helpful.
