What worked for me was a soup ladle duct taped to a wooden dowel.

You can use a yardstick instead of a wooden dowel, if you have one.  
Just something to make it so you don't have to bend down too close to  
the dog. And you might want to buy a ladle of a different color just  
for this purpose. LOL.

Other suggestions from another list I am on:
I have a very long spatula. I tape a disposable plastic cup to it,  
and slide it under the dog as she squats. The spatula gives me more  
control over the cup. Then wearing my disposable gloves, I pour the  
urine into the sterile container, remove the tape, pitch the plastic  
cup.

test the vet gave us a wide funnel type of thing and we followed her  
around with it. As soon as she squatted we put the funnel under her  
and collected into a sterile jar, capped it and we were done.....

I suppose you could make something similar with something like those  
disposable cutting boards that are made of heavy stiff  
plastic.....just tape it into a funnel shape and you're good to go.

Good luck.
