Give Them a Job

A calm job lowers the arousal that triggers the leak. Cue an easy sit, hand target, or mat settle before the greeting peaks, then reward generously. That's the secret of an incompatible behavior — it gives your dog a calm pattern to follow instead of escalating into jumping, spinning, and leaking.

Over time you can rewire the feeling itself. Each time the trigger happens, cue the calm behavior and reward generously — the doorbell stops meaning "go nuts" and starts meaning "sit for a treat." Repeat it enough and your dog greets the bell with a wag and a steady bladder instead of a puddle. That's a fix, not just a patch.
