Always remember, with puppies (and dogs, and kids!), silence is suspicious! ;-)
Beautiful pup!

@debradownsouth said in Brixton the Basenji!:
I disagree with it being too early to train
Its NEVER to early to start training but it has to be FUN for the puppy so he/she doesn't realise it's 'school.' Mine were always collar and lead trained and to a large extent potty trained before they left for their new homes. That was an absolute minimum !
Short sessions, daily and keep the FUN prominent ! Leave it too long and you'll never succeed. The pup will rule YOU and that is never good for either of you.

@zande He had a couple accidents in his bed today literally after I took him outside to pee. He went pee, then he came back in and peed on his bed... Whyy!!?

@theoriginaldev - He very likely has a UTI, take a urine sample to the Vet. Need to make sure first that there is no health issues.

IMO, unusual for a pup to pee "in his bed", unless the bed is in a crate and he is confined? Or is he marking his territory? Pretty young for that. Otherwise I'm surprised he didn't pick a different place to pee, even if a UTI is the issue.....

Pat, might the problem have started because of time spent in transit? If he didn't pee for the duration, perhaps that might have resulted in a UTI?

Puppies don't normally 'wet the bed' - But he's young, he's in a new environment, he's away from his canine family. He could be making his bed smell familiar or he might not fully realise that it is his bed. Give him time.
Take a sample to the vet and check there isn't an infection but relax and make him feel at home.
He'll soon settle.

I think it could've been the texture of the bed. Also, it's been raining and snowing in Utah the past week. He hates it. I bought puppy pads today tho. It was a nice day today so we spent a lot of time outside. No accidents today, he's been a good boy. Thoughts?

No accidents is a good sign. If a UTI was the cause I don't think you would be having success. What a cute boy! Enjoy, they grow up fast!

@theoriginaldev - Yes, rain could be the problem, still would make sure by taking a urine sample to be checked. With most Basenji puppies being born in the winter this is the reason that I litter box train all my litters as do most
