If you pay attention you will notice the peeing is almost always a reaction to you and your initial contact and interaction.  If you do not acknowledge the dog for about 10-15 seconds you can start petting and playing and interacting without the dog peeing.  Let the dog in, dog will run to you and rub up against your leg.  If you react you will get a puddle,  if you do nothing for 10-15 seconds, sometimes even less, no puddle.

might last until she's 2 or so. Some dogs(labs) just get way too excited about things. Try to create a calm environment for her

This is an easy problem. Pups shouldn't be left alone with other dogs when you're potty training. You said she can be outside for hours in another post and come in and potty. She's out with the other dogs distracted.

I think you need to crate her, no free time with other dogs. Let her out of the crate to potty. If she doesn't go, back in the crate. There is no benefit to letting a pup have a bunch of free time unsupervised with other dogs. All that can really happen is pup will get hurt playing rough.

OK this is thinking out of the box a bit.  This could help in calming your pup down?   :dunno:

From the time my dog was a puppy I would leash him when we took him outside for potty. I would say to him "go potty".........pause and wait  "go potty" ........until he would find his "spot" and lift his leg. Then lots of praise and a treat when we went inside. He quickly learned that he got a treat if he went outside and went potty. If he didn't even try to go........ then no treat. Now he will always try to go if I ask him to no matter if it is before getting in the truck or before going into the house.

Also, ignoring them for a few minutes will help wonders. Then when YOU are ready to give attention, you make them sit before you touch or speak nicely to them. I'm all about loving on my dog but it's ALWAYS under my terms. Also, puppies (like kids) need consistency......do it the same...... every time........every member of your household.

She'll get it......just keep trying. Also, remember, you want to be the alpha in her pack, so I second the time away from other dogs initially. She will follow the leader she spends the most time with.

We are going to work on all the suggestions and will keep you posted on how she does. I finally got our outdoor kennel built so that should help remedy her peeing in her crate during the day while we are gone to work.  :tup:

Good suggestions here.  The key is you have to be in control of the situations.  My lab will pretty much pee on command and during the week she poops like she is on a time clock (6:15 a.m. and roughly 6:15 p.m.) because I work long hours and I need/want to know that she does her business.  You have to spend the time outside with them, say go potty every few minutes until they squat/heist and then lots of praise when they are done.  If they are forced to pee before moving on to more exciting activities then they are much, much less likely to pee just because they are excited.  It happens but they usually grow out of that at some point but unless you want to wait for her to grow out of it you have to set the peramiters and conditions and be consistent.   :twocents:  Best of luck, it will happen and its clear you have the patience to work through it.
