Can I just say, if he has no infections ...urine wise, then I would suggest that you try hard to ignore this behaviour.
BC's are very sensative dogs, Bruce used to wee as a pup whilst he was walking, all down his legs, he'd wee if anyone spoke to him, or a car went past.
We used to leave the back door open (well we still do, but that's me feeling that they can come in and out when they want) and follow him outside(never leave them alone), his wee's out there where given loads and loads of praise and treats, if he came in and did it, we used to ignore it....that may sound odd, but he soon caught on that if he did it outside...he got a treat and praise.
Your liitle one is still very very much a baby and the ''jig saw puzzle'' of where to do things just hasn't fell into place yet.
Cuddling him makes him excited and the muscles don't have any control yet so yes he'll wee... but he isn't doing anything wrong.
By telling him off and putting him outside, your instilling a punishment and he will get confused as to why you are annoyed. You need to go out with him, instill praise and play out there, so he realises that wee/pooing outside is a GOOD thing.
As for the walking, again he is a baby, he doesn't know what the things are that wait for him in the big world...all those noises, very frightening, all those people, cars, etc., all very scarey. Puppies learn alot from you as thier owner, BC's learn very very quick, and if you do not reassure him, or you get stressed he will by the time he's 5 to 6 months be very jumpy with things.....walk him slowly, as he gets frightened of things, just bend down to him, softly and quietly say ''It's ok'' reassure him with your voice, and then stroll on, ok it maybe a very long slow walk, but give it a couple of weeks and he'll love going out.
Good Luck, he sounds just fine to me
