Does anybody know dogs that have never grown out of their submissive urniation stage? My dog is 15 months old now and any time new people come to the house he gets so excited he can't ever seem to hold it in. Sucks.

Are new people instructed not to talk to, touch, or make eye contact when they come in?
What Connie said is the only cure I know for your problem. I had the same problem with my shelter dog. It's hard to tell people that they have to ignore the dogs, but it must be done.
I just took a GD from a family that was obviously not prepared to take care of him; he is the brother of my GD. Excellent dogs that came from a very credible breeder. Anyway, when I received him he too was urintating when others would come up to him; I should mention he is six months old. He would do it when I or my wife would come home, he would do it primarily when a male that he knew would approach him. However, he is very skiddish around others, as well as loud noises. Now from what I mentioned earlier of how I received him, you can proably infer why he unrinates all of the time; however, aside from the problem I strongly suggest that you as well as your company ignore him and you allow the time for him to be pet. Take into consideration when exactly he does it. When you pet him? When you come home? When he is in trouble? Then you can curb that trigger or variable that makes him urinate. Most often I notice it is excitement. Ignoring them until you are ready to acknowledge them did wonders for me. Good luck.

VERY good recommendation. I've also seen that looming over the dog (standing over him, near him) is often a trigger, even with a submissive-urination dog who is getting over the excitement of visitors.
