hehe..don't think I have any helpful advice (mine goes outdoors), but just wanted to say this sounds so cute (knowing how frustrating it must be for you).
Is there any way to get him to settle down and
not chase his sister around when you're home?
My situation was not quite the same as yours, but you could maybe try it...
During the day, Scottie stays in a room that has a glass sliding door. So when I come home, he used to get suuuper excited and would jump and jump and jump non-stop. He didn't have issues with peeing...but he just wouldn't stop being crazy jumping and whining to be let out. He gets a lot of air-time when he jumps. I swear he can jump up to my waist some times, if he wanted to. It bothered me because I didn't want him to hurt himself.
So, after I taught him to sit, using both the "sit" command or a hand gesture, when I come home now, I use the hand gesture to get him to sit. He sits now because he knows I will not open the door until he sits down patiently and waits. He learned pretty quickly to sit patiently after a few days worth of training sessions of sitting, me opening the door, and getting a treat from me.
Anyway, best wishes to the pee-pee dribbling
