Use a pheromone product, such as the Adaptil collar or DAP plug in diffusers, to decrease anxiety. When he comes out of the crate, take him straight outside to urinate. Don't make a big deal when taking him out. Simply let him out. Praise and reward him when he urinates outside. If he is worked up when he comes out of the crate, ignore him completely until he settles down. Be firm and be consistent.
