My 11-week puppy pees in bed after walks & has a belly lump.

Question

Hello I got couple questions. We got a puppy 3 weeks ago and we'll she is a bit of a hard work. I fully understand that she is a puppy but she constantly pees her bed even if we just came back from a walk and she knows that she have done wrong because is running away straight after. Another thing is she has a little lump on her belly. Vet said that's because of urine and dry skin but I started reading a bit and I think I need another advice. She is a 11 week cocker spaniel. thank you in advance. Pet's info: Dog | Cocker Spaniel | Female | unspayed | 3.44 lbs

I would encourage her to urinate while she's walking by praising her and giving treats when she goes. She'll understand that better than punishment when she goes on her bed. At 11 weeks she has some growing up to do, I'm sure she'll get there. As for the bump on her belly, it may be some mild inflammation due to urine, but could also be an insect bite or just secondary to scratching. If it doesn't get better on its own I'd bring it up to your vet again at her next visit.
