If your dog is on the floor when the alarm goes off, you might train him to come to a pee pad you keep right by the bed and sit or lie down and remain in position on that until you get up, turn off the alarm and get him outside. When you work with the alarm going off over and over, have him come to the pee pad to lie down and remain calm and wait. That way, until his dribbles are dried up, your floor will be protected. In time, with good obedience and repetitive alarm training, this should stop altogether as you train him in another way to react and respond. The training will just give him a new job to do once he hears the alarm and he will feel he is "doing his part" of starting your morning off!

I personally would let the alarm ring a while so that the sudden pizzazz of it is de-fanged a bit. Most people arise and lunge for that thing immediately and dogs read all of that as excitement and with some of us - MOST of us - a sense of displeasure in our faces and attitudes. If they sense you are immediately displeased, it very well could be triggering the excited/submissive urinating just from that displeasure alone but combine that with the sudden alarm and excitement - a recipe for peeing.

Take the power out of that alarm clock by getting a new one that has a different sound or music and let it go on for a time so no sudden, excited motions and hurry are tied to it. And with the repetitive training of it going off, it will further defuse it as an instant trigger. And the longer your dog can remain in a sit- or down/stay after it goes off, the better. I'd keep training him to go to his pee pad and go into a down/stay and remain there calmly as you arise and gently, unhurriedly turn off your new music alarm and take him outside, where he gets much more praise the moment he "goes".
