You follow them around until they squat and then stick something under to catch it (measuring cup, ladle, etc.). Put it in a clean container. This is free catch. It works sometimes, but some vets will want to take some anyway because the sample wouldn't be sterile.
Syringing urine off of the floor or from the back of a peepad is the least sterild and wouldn't be recommended when checking for infection.
Around here it is usually taken by cystocentesis (needle in the bladder which is not a big deal - most pups don't mind). This is sterile and sometimes necessary.
You can ask your vet what they prefer before trying to get pee from your baby. Whenever an infection is suspected here, we always do cysto.
