 Try this...
I have had 2 doggies with what we like to call "happy bladders". We worked with them for a while and found the best solution to breaking that was to immediately take them outside when they are let out of their crates. It adventually worked and now they will try to hold the bladder until they get outside or run straight for the door...now if we don't open the door right away they might have an accident but they are much better. My suggestion for you is anytime you bring him out don't just wait for him to let you know he needs to pee. Take him out right away so he can adjust to that. I think you will find he will have less of a reaction when excited. You can also try using things like rewards after he goes out to make it something he will try harder to do. It works for my girl Chloe who is a Chihuhahua with a very happy bladder. You can walk by my house and she will bark...if anyone walks near her during this she squirts...not a happy situation. Now after letting her right out she has not done this at all. I am still crossing my fingers and praying this continues.
Well I am sorry I babbled on here I just hope this helps you! ;-)
