Edit: This original post was just after she peed — this talk of taking her back was purely out of frustration. Since this time we've bonded on a few long walks and things are looking up 
Hey all, great community you have going here!
Last week we adopted a Terrier mix named Roxy. She's awesome! She's cute, gentle, walks pretty well, etc...
But there is one issue and it's a big one. Submissive peeing.
We've read up on all of the things to do/not do and we are at our wits end here. We've found a way to avoid the peeing at almost all other times except the most important one — when it's time to put on the collar to go out.
It would be easy if we had a yard but we don't. We have a giant park across the street and she needs her leash in order to get there. Every time we put the leash on she cowers and pees. We ignore it, we try not to hover over her, don't look her in the eyes, don't stand square to her, don't talk to her, etc... but by the time we get her out she doesn't have to go anymore.
She poops outside just fine. It's the peeing thing. We adopted her from a no-kill shelter and we're kind of upset because they failed to mention this to us. It seems that she would do better in a home with a yard.
Anyway, we're at the point where we're wondering if we should take her back, we can't seem to find anymore ideas to try. I want to try picking her up but I'm afraid that she will pee on me.
