Submissive urination isn't the same as a puppy not knowing where its not suppose to do its business. Potty training should start the same day you bring your puppy home. If you catch your puppy doing it where its not suppose to, scoop him up quickly and take him to the potty area to finish, while he's in the potty spot give him a lot of praise and show him how please you are with him.
