First of all, NEVER correct the dog for submissive peeing. The dog can't help it, it is an inherited trait, and therefor is unfair to correct for. In fact corrections cause more harm than good. Most dogs do grow out of it, but some never do. Make sure when you first come home, or get up in the mornings to not pet the dog right away until the dog has calmed down. Try not to ever lean over the dog, as this is a dominant posture, and makes the dog submit. Also, always remain very calm when you are petting the dog. Some dogs do better if you don't look at them right when you start to pet them. It helps if you make sure that the dog has a potty break before you pay much attention to it. Also, make sure to instruct visitors to follow these instructions as well.

Does she do it when you approach her? if so try not acknowledging her - no eye contact, no talking, etc... let her know that you are not a threat and in a few minutes, reach down and pet her on the head and go from there. avoid eye contact, this can mean dominance in dog speak. good luck

Don't over excite the dog. Some dogs do this becuase they need more attention

My chihuahua mix did the same thing. There's really no cure for it. Eventually it'll grow out of it.
