This behavior ought to be tended to immediately. Not only does it do destroy to your house & surface areas from the frequent urination, but more importantly it is a sign that there is something causing your dog to feel high levels of stress & anxiety. As a responsible dog owner, it is your duty to do your best to help alleviate these kind of behavioral signs.
Ignore Him
Although it may sound cruel, the quickest way to help your dog overcome urine-greeting is to basically ignore them when you arrive home. The greeting home is the most typical time that a dog who has these behavioral characteristics tends to pee. This means that there is something going on that causes your dog to get so nervous & worked up when his master is home that he cannot help but spray all over the place.
As I said earlier, it may appear difficult for you to practice the habit of coming home & walking right past your dog without giving him a second glance. Trust me, I do know how difficult this can be because I had to initiate the same protocol for of my Chihuahuas. But the truth is that your dog won't perceive the experience in the same manner that you see it. In fact, a sure sense of relief will kick in your dog's mind after only a couple of minutes of realizing that the standard ritual of greeting & urinating does not must happen.
Keep in mind, for some reason your dog is feeling that the moment you come home is a very stressful situation & by eradicating the greeting altogether, you have taken away the reason for his anxiety. So keep this in mind as you are trying to fix his urine-greeting behavior. As you walk in to the house & must ignore your small pup, always keep in mind that you are helping his condition & not hurting his feelings.
