Peeing While Lying Down

Ok, my daughter had a friend over today and while the mom was their picking her kid up, Murphy decided to lay down and litterally peed all over himself. I was mortified. Granted he's only 13 weeks old he's never done this before. PLEASE tell me someone elses dog has done this... Also, some days he is great at going outside and doing his business, then there are days like today where he's tinkled twice and pooed once inside. We reward him when he goes outside. What could I be doing wrong! Thanks for all of your advice! Kristina

The only thing you are doing wrong is you are expecting too much from a 13 week old puppy. They don't even have the muscle control at that point to hold it in if they wanted to. Treating Murphy when he goes appropriately is great :) He will soon learn to 'get it' and the accidents will be fewer and farther between.
The OES that I had as a teen would do that. We figured that she just got over excited and couldn't hold it. Expecially when my now husband would come over she would lay right down on her back and piddle all over herself. We learned that when he should up we would take her outside and have her pee before he came in the house.
My sheepie did peed while laying down just the way yours did. He was about 13 weeks as well. I'm not certain why he did it, but I never saw it again after about 2 times. Don't be concerned about it, just keeping rewarding for going potty outside.
