If vet ck is ok then..Behavioral : he might submissively urinate or excitement urinate, The first step is to realize this problem is completely natural. For dogs, this behavior usually is either:. Excitement urination, ( for young pups)is the result of infant muscles that simply cannot hold their urine when the pup gets excited. Submissive urination falls into a completely different category. Dogs have behaviors in place to reduce violence between them. When challenged, a submissive dog will use this and other body languages to display its lower status and to prevent an attack. Submissive urination is one of those offered in this type of greeting.Fixing the problem starts with understanding what signals (yours) trigger the reaction.First, dogs that get direct eye contact is more often a challenge. For some submissive dogs, even a moment's eye contact can be intolerable. Eye contact from above, indicating that they other dog is taller, may trigger this reaction. Another signal that canines perceive as a challenge is bending over or touching the dog's head, neck or shoulders. Dominant dogs often display dominance by placing their neck, or a paw over another dog's neck or shoulders. When a human pets a dog on the head, a submissive dog can perceives it as a display of dominance. To start change the greeting behavior, you need to avoid those situations that instantly trigger urination. When you get home avoid eye contact, don't bend over to greet him, and in general ignore the dog for the first few minutes, then ask him to sit (if he knows how),If he does not, then try some very calm words of greeting and don't touch him right away, let his excitement calm after the course of an hour touch him breifly..

Hi, our old border collie had this problem when she was a pup and i also know a springer that used to do it. Neither of them did it when they were really small, it developed when they were several months old. It is because they get very excited by the attention that you are giving them - especially if you have left them alone for some time.
We found that when we first came in we ignored the pup for a few minutes and didnt make a fuss. If she wee'd we wouldnt react, just clean it up and after a few minutes say hello calmly and give her a cuddle. After a couple of weeks she'd completely stopped as she learnt that getting really excited when she saw people meant that she wouldnt get a fuss.
I really do think it is a puppy thing, you just need to train them out of it until their bladder muscles are a bit stronger.
Hope this works for you!! Good luck x
