He could have a urinary tract infection so he should be examined by a vet. Your vet can run a urinalysis to look for infection and other potential causes. He could also have urinary stones, prostate problem, tumor, etc. If he has an infection then he will need an antibiotic to treat.

Unfortunately, your pup may have a urinary tract infection. He needs to have a urinalysis done at a veterinary clinic, and may need a course of antibiotics. I know that pets canT, be expensive sometimes, but if he has a urinary tract infection that goes untreated it could harm his kidneys.

This could be a sign of urinary incontinence although it is a bit odd that it seems to happen only after a walk - usually dogs with incontinence will leak urine at various times through the day, especially when they are lying down. A urinary tract infection, bladder stones, kidney disease or other diseases that might cause dilute urine would also be possible. I'd recommend rechecking with your vet and seeing what they would recommend as the next step. They might want to recheck a urine sample (this time they may want to put a small needle into the bladder to get a clean sample), or they might recommend blood work or x-rays.
