Why is my house-trained puppy peeing on the bed right after going out?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | neutered | 11 months and 5 days old | 14 lbs

My 10ms old snorkie has pee'd on our bed twice now after going outside 30 minutes before. I'm lost as to why a house trained dog would do this. This is my first puppy.

I'm sorry Tank is peeing on your bed! When a previously house trained dog suddenly starts having accidents in the home, it can be a sign of medical illness such as a UTI or bladder stones. I would have Tank seen by a vet in the morning. The vet can do a physical exam, blood tests, and a urinalysis to diagnose if he does have a medical illness causing him to urinate on the bed, and can treat him for it.
