If it's only a spot, there's a good chance the reason you see it when you come home is that he's excited to have you back. Dutch does the same, but the problem is half as bad at 6 months as it was a 3 months. The vet says he should get over it and it isn't really a problem unless a bit of time passes and it doesn't improve.

It's unintentional, so scolding him when he has not committed any discernable wrong will only encourage him to become submissive, which may very well lead to increased dribbling. So try to ignore it.

If it's a full-on pee rather than an excited dribble, it's a different (but common) story that will require possibly shrinking the size of his confinement but more likely taking him out more often and above all time.
