Get her out of your bed until she's completely house trained. Put her in a crate to sleep. This is a very bad practice with new puppies. She's a baby. She gets so comfortable in your bed and she has to pee immediately upon waking.

You're expecting way too much from a puppy this age. It will be months before she's dependable in this regard.

Answer
Over the years I've had a few dogs that would do this, females, not males. I believe it's a territorial, marking behavior. Your bed, your puppy, she's letting you know that it's all hers.

I would keep her off the bed entirely until she's older so this doesn't turn into just a nasty habit.

If you find that she's urinating often, even off the bed, you might have her checked for a UTI, very common in girl puppies.
