I am not sure how much this will help, but it may...

For both my GSD and my Biewer, I have taught (or am teaching in the case of the Biewer) that before I give them ANY attention they need to sit.

Want to have me pet you..sit.
Want to go out the door...sit.
Want to come inside..sit.
Want to get your leash on to go for a walk...sit.
Want to get out of your crate...sit.

I started this with my shepherd when he was a puppy because he got REALLY excited and a big excited dog is not a good thing.

Most times now I don't have to say anything to my shepherd..he sits. The Biewer we are still working with and I normally have to tell her to sit once. Sometimes when she is REALLY excited I have to tell a few times and then wait and she will calm down and realize what she is supposed to do.

I think that having your dog sit before they get attention it may help with the excited pee, as all the crazy excitement will disappear.
