i have an 8 year 3 mo old male dachshund (born april 15 2008), and we got him at 10 weeks old, not sure the exact date. we've tried ignoring him, calm greetings, worked on simple obedience training, and even trying to distract him while people come in.

my dachshund has been submissive peeing as long as we've had him, and likely before we got him. (he wasn't well bred, we didn't know he was a puppy mill dog for a while until people figured out the place we got him got dogs from mills.) he does it when he's excited, he's upset, he's happy, nervous, if he even SEES a person he really (so again, being excited,) hearing someone at the door, someone comes into the house, etc, he just pees! he doesn't have accidents, it's just submissive peeing! he's gotten a TINY bit better after 8 years, but only the tiniest bit, it's driving my parents absolutely insane, it's a bit annoying to me, but it doesn't upset me really. i've heard there's ways to make it stop through training, but stuff doesn't work for my family.

if this changes anything, he does have bad anxiety (he's on meds and it's really helped, meds did help a bit with the peeing,) and he does have a sensitive back along with a back injury if that changes what we need to do to work on his issue. he does better with positive reinforcement, he doesn't react well to punishment at all.
we've taken him to professional training and that's helped him be less reactive, be more confident, walk better on leash, and helped with basic obedience, he even has better recall now, but the submissive peeing hardly got better when the training if has even at all. any advice helps!

so i worship lilith (as people can see in my recent posts if you look) and i'm building an alter for her, but i want to learn more about her. does anyone have resources i can use to learn more about her and her affect on astrology? (my lilith sign is in capricorn, but i'm an aries if that information is helpful in any way.)

i've posted on the alter subreddit, but i decided i should also come here for advice because it's for mother Lilith, and i have some questions about how to do it/what to do.

i'm a minor and still live with my parents, but i'm interested in making my first alter, i have a lot of crystals and i collect them, so maybe i can include crystals in my alter, and what crystal(s) to add to it? i need it to be something small and nothing too distracting as i don't want to draw attention to it. i have a cubby shelf and i'm planning on somehow making one of the cubbies into an alter. i can't spend too much money on it, so i have to mostly i use what i have. i have a crystal shaped as a cobra (soapstone if i'm remembering correctly), and i know one of her symbols is a serpent, including it should be acceptable correct? (i will talk to her when i get the chance)

if it changes any advice people give, i can't offer alcohol, apples, oil, etc, the only things i can offer to her would be rose petals if i can get any. i can't include candles as it may seem suspicious, i can't use a black feather or any other feathers because it's illegal where i am to even be in possession of them, but just like the candles, it would be suspicious. any advice helps!

does anyone have advice or ideas for how to set up a discrete alter for her?

edit: my parents know i want to have a spiritual space in my room (i'm hoping doing so will help with my mental health), so some things related to spirituality would be fine.

edit 2: i found an alter table (witches alter table specifically) and i'm going to buy it!

i'm interested in creating my first alter, specifically for Lilith. i love and collect crystals so i was wondering if anyone had ideas on what crystal or crystals to add to the alter? i want my alter to be something small by the way, nothing big or distracting. i can't spend too much money either as i'm a minor.

i'm planning to set up an alter or some sort of worship section in my room for her, i obviously want it to be related to witchcraft, any ideas for offerings to her or ideas to make her alter really show her i worship her or ideas for the alter in general? i do collect crystals and i want to add at least one crystal to the alter, what crystal(s) and/or other things should i add to her alter?

(i read the rules, i'm really hoping this post is allowed considering it isnt fully witchcraft related.)
