Pretty normal for a chihuahua. They are very nervous by nature.

Learning how to spell on your part, would be a start!
CHIHUAHUAS don’t produce PEAS!
If you’re talking about submissive urination, and it only started a year after being with you, then you need to start looking for the cause of it within your family.
I know I won’t get a best answer, but I get so irritated with people that can’t even use the spelling tab!

This stems from pore breeding and pore socialization as a young puppy. Sorry don’t know how to fix the problem. Although you could try taking it to group obedience classes so it can learn to face its fears.

This is called “submissive urination”. It is more common in females than males.
Here are some suggestions for dealing with this annoying symptom.
– Keep track of when she does this so you know her patterns.
– Try to keep everyone calm around her. Rough play or getting all excited and screaming or talking loudly to her or even screechy baby-talk will make it worse!
– Teach her to “sit” and “look” at you so that you can get her to relax and focus on you. Then, when something happens that might frighten her, you can get her to calm herself and focus on you instead of peeing.
– Everyone who comes near her should have a tiny, but smelly, really delicious treat in their hand. As they bend down to give it to her, they should put their hand out to the side, not straight in front, and not look at her. This will help her to be more comfortable around people.
– Take her to an obedience course with an instructor who adores tiny dogs. This will help to give her more confidence and experience in social settings.
– Don’t correct her or reassure her when she pees. Correcting her will just make her feel worse and reassuring her will make her think that you like it.
I hope these suggestions help. In extreme cases, your veterinarian may prescribe medication that can help with this problems, so be sure to check with him or her if these behavioral remedies don’t help you enough.
It takes patience, and lots of thoughtfulness on your part, but she’s worth it! And she’ll love you more for helping her — she doesn’t want to be overwhelmed, either!
