Some other stuff: when you say there's been submissive peeing, does he do this with you? I think this doesn't necessarily indicate that he hates you, but maybe he fears you. I know it's awful to think your dog is scared of you, but just know that you can correct it. As someone else said, non threatening language includes: avoiding eye contact; positioning your body to face slightly away from him; kneeling on the floor so you are closer to his level; and don't try to reach over his head. If he approaches you, scratch his chest gently rather than his ears, for example.
