  • Control of the muscular sphincter found around the neck of the bladder is what allows dogs to hold the urine, preventing it from seeping out. Once in the potty area or outside, dogs can finally relax the sphincter and urinate. Now, in young puppies, by the time the bladder wall contractions take place, their bladders are already emptying!
