Happy to hear you are making progress. My younger boy Teddy has the urge to pee whenever he gets excited/anxious. Visitors to the house and doorbell ringing, passers by, are also high on our list for nervous excitement. We use pads, but Teddy was 100% outdoor trained before he came to us.
For visits with your grandchildren, if all else fails, I would try the belly band to see if it curbs Deuce's desire to nervous pee.
You asked about Rescue Remedy in your other thread -- I haven't tried it myself, but know a few YT members who have had moderate success with it for thunderstorm fears. It doesn't cure the anxiety, but reduces it like the Thundershirt.
