So I have a 6 month old mastiff and I've had her since about 6 weeks old but she's still exciting peeing . Any tips on how to help or if it'll go away with time and another thing is she's started licking the pee ? So I don't know if maybe my parents are hitting on her or yelling at her when I'm not around she gets a ton of water and food more than she needs daily but I'm not sure if this is normal or not thanks !

she's licking her pee pee ? well dogs do that normally but it could be a bladder infection - a sign of not being able to hold it when excited maybe - not sure - read up on it - there are lots of educational books out there - and put up a camera for when you are not there to watch your parents - what are they doing or not doing ? I like to observe everything in order to help figure things out

Gotta exercise the big ones, daily walks are needed and I agree with the talking to them, they say dogs understand about like a toddler, so they're hearing you, talk to them.

Walking your dog weekly is unacceptable, for any dog, let alone such a big dog like a mastiff.

We're talking twice a day, once a day at the least.

Why are you only walking her once a week?

I was about to say exactly the same thing. Weekly is tantamount to abuse.
