Our dog used to do that, and still occasionally does. It's a submissive thing. Cooper is, by temperment, a fairly submissive dog, and it's a very polite thing to do, as a dog, to pee for dogs who are dominant to you. So at least it's a compliment.
We started by building up Cooper's confidence. She's now no longer the most submissive dog on the block, but it took a lot of work. Mostly it was lurkette's doing, so she can probably say more specifically the steps she took.
