To stop a dog from peeing when excited, stop getting it excited. For instance, if it pees when anyone comes in the door, stop giving it attention as soon as you walk it. Ignore the dog until it calms the fuck down.
To stop a dog from peeing or pooping in the house when you aren't around, get a crate.
Keep in mind that training lessons are for owners, not the pets. I still recommend them, especially for your first dog, but don't expect miracles (just instruction).
edit: If the dog submissively urinates, then avoid dominating stances/actions. Sit/Lay on the floor to pet it and avoid the top of the head (go under the chin).
