Why does my puppy pee on the bed immediately after going out?

Question

We recently decided that our puppy was house broken enough to sleep in bed with us (the only accidents she has now are when she's excited or scared) however the past two nights as soon as I set her on the bed she pees. After I take her out and she peed outside beforehand. She's NEVER gotten in trouble for being on the bed either. She doesn't do this when I bring her up in the morning to wake my boyfriend up either.

3 months is still EXTREMELY young, and I would not consider a 3 month old puppy to be fully house-trained. Any new situation can always cause a regression in training until worked on, and some dogs may have accidents on occasion until they are old enough and their bladder is fully developed. I would give her a few minutes in between going outside, and letting her on the bed at night, to give her a chance to settle down and relax. It's very possible that the fun of being on the bed is just too exciting (or scary) and is causing her to have an accident as many puppies may experience excitement or submission urination, even if they've already gone potty outside. Once she is calm, you can put her on the bed, but try not to make a big deal out of it, to see if keeping her relaxed helps. If she does immediately pee, she may just need to stay off the bed for a while longer until she is a bit older. An enzymatic cleaner can also be used with any bedding when it is washed to help break down any urine particles that may be attracting her.
