Newly adopted 2 year old dog has excitement peeing problem, any advice?

This is a hard question to give you a straight answer to. It can go either way. Sometimes dogs can grow out of this behavior while other times it is something that you gotta work on. A couple of things that could help.... When you first get home, do not make a big deal about it. Ignoring her for a few minutes until she settles down. Another trick that a client did was she taught her dog, :"Go to your spot". This gives the dog a command to focus in on when they would let her out of her crate. (As odd as it does sound, it does work) Good Luck!

I rescued a 1 year old dog with this problem. So far, the behavior hasn't completely gone away but it has been greatly improved.

You are correct in not punishing him and cleaning it up without him seeing it.

Here is what has been working for us. We ignore all the animals upon leaving and returning home. No words are spoken and no eye contact is made. We go straight to the back door and escort the overly excited dog outside by herself. Still no words are spoken, we point to the area where she goes and we wait. We ignore her attempts to get our attention. When she has done her business, she gets praise and attention.

We always leash and unleash outside or in the garage. We remind our guests outside our front door to ignore the dog until she has calmed herself down. All communication with her are in a calm monotone voice with absolutely no excited baby talk.

We take her out about every 4-5 hours and watch her to insure she empties her bladder.

There has been great improvement.

Agree with Erica - a helpful tactic is to stay calm, don't make a big deal about coming and going. Maybe try it a few times. Go out for 10 minutes and come back without making a big deal, you need to make it seem like it isn't super exciting and not to escalate the dog's excitement.

Having them go into their bed, as well, or a place to calm down is really helpful as well. Good luck!

I opened this curious to see if it was a Cocker, and INDEED it is, lol! In the case of Cockers, this is actually a breed trait. My mom's cocker is approaching old age—they have been able to train her to avoid mistakes most of the time, but even now she will sometimes do it when guests arrive, if they don't take care to remain calm and help her do the same.
