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

We just adopted a 2 year old cocker spaniel from a family who no longer could care for him. He has no other behavioral issues, and is fine when we are with him. We have left him alone minimally, 4 hours at the most, but when we get him out of his crate and put his collar on he pees a lot. And then when we get him out, he pees outside. He doesn’t do this when he has been crated in our room all night, only when he has been left alone. He doesn’t pee in his crate while we are gone, just when we let him out. Otherwise, he lets us know when he wants to go out, by going to the door, so he is very house broken. Is this just a new environment Issue that will go away with time? Or is there something we need to do to help him not do this? We never scold him, just take him right out and clean it up. We are just wondering if this is something that will go away or not. Thanks!
