When I take Apollo ou ton walks, I normally start by bringing him to a grass patch where he can relieve himself. Usually he pees on a tree and we continue on. While on the walk he'll stop to mark, I'll continue on walking at a quick pace and give a "AH !". He still manages to get a little pee out before joining me.
He is about to turn 10 months. There were several time where while letting him relieve himself, it seemed like he inadvertantly lifted his leg and peed on my foot !! I corrected him and placed him back in his crate after each time. The first occurance was about 2 months ago and has happened about 3 or 4 more time since.
Clarify by spelling every little thing out. Some people can be extreme when drawing their own conclusions.

still pretty young , i'd say him pissing on your foot was more coincidence than anything .
i think the lesson here is , figure out how much time he needs to relieve himself completely , and then when he is done his business , you need to see that he is so engaged with you , there is no time for pissing about . don't fret too much at first if he does need to " hurry up " during play , but over time you should see him more engaged with you to the point that there is no way he would miss out on the fun with you rather than random sniffing and marking scent posts .
if you are just moving along on your walks without really being engaged with the dog , you can't realistically him to be engaged with you . you , as leader , set the tone and level of engagement .
not to say you can't have casual walks , but set your expectations of the dog accordingly .
