Why has my dog been squirting?

I have a 3 year old pure German Shepard. He is a great dog besides the fact that every time anyone comes in the house (even our family) he will squirt a liquid (urine? maybe?) everywhere. It smells very fishy and he will smell it after. I’m not sure what this is since he is/has been trained since being a puppy… He never pees or poops in the house either. Only when he gets excited he squirts this mysterious liquid.

Anal glands (that would explain the fishy smell).

Talk to your vet about how to empty his anal glands.

If he would be on a diet that creates more solid scat, theoretically they would empty when he empties and the problem would go away naturally. You might want to research BARF or a diet of real food. If you already have him a diet of real food, then yep, I would learn how to empty them myself or trot off to the vet. Youtube has some DIY lessons.

I agree with everyone who’s posted thus far. It is his anal glands. You can learn to empty them yourself or have your vet (or even a well-trained/trusted dog groomer) do it.
