Your post is very reminicent of other male(presumably) posters here on training woes with the Yorkies.

I just want to point out the size of a dog, has nothing to do with submissive/fear peeing, or excitment peeing. All breeds, all sizes, can have this temperament fault. And by temperament fault or flaw, I'm talking one that is of a genetic basis, and has not resulted from inappropriate handling, rearing, training etc.

I have an 85 lb female BRT who is both a submissive and a excitement pee-er. As a 7month old puppy she came to us this way. Two full temperament test evaluations later, unfortunately she is just wired this way. I don't have a full answer and there may never be a full answer. Let's take excitement peeing first as that is a tad easier to control

What we have done is to train her to sit, and reward her when she sits when we enter the house. This has helped immensely with the peeing on the floor, due to her joy at seeing us return home. This means you leave for work or whatever with some treats in your pocket, so you can be really ready to reward good sits no pees with no time delay. If she does slip up and pee, there is no scolding, we just calmly go get our clean up gear and our enzymatic cleaner.
If she is in her crate when we arrive home, we let her out, in the backyard with us, and say Zoey go pee pee. She now pees on command outside, and is rewarded for this.
For guest arrivals she is crated first, people are allowed to settle in, and then we introduce her on leash to our guests. This works for the reason she feels she is under control, the guests are seated, and she has learnt to go up to guest, sit, and guest gives her a treat.

Submissive peeing. What you need to control most is the tone of your voice as others have suggested. When saying No up the register, or even change up the words, Like Nope, Uhhuh. And if you are naturally deep voiced, well let's face it once in awhile you will mess up and use too strong a tone and voila peeing. Again no punishment for submissive pee-ing, seriously and literally a dog can't help a submissive pee. You are the only one that can help that. I am not advocating no discipline, but correct tonal discipline; and yes I do use time-outs in crates quite effectively for punishment. Not how-ever when the pup is young and I am crate training.

Oh and I hear your pain about pee-ing in the bed!. I have a cat that will sometimes do that. It is a real bear to clean up the comforter the sheets and the blankets!. What we have done is put a blue tarp over the bed when we are not at home. As this is when are cat is most likely to pee on the bed. I know if I had a dog that peed in the bed it would be no bed priviledges.

Hope this helps and good luck with your training.
