Dogs! Why do they pee on our beds??

[clutter]

Well, pee, no. But I've had my share of diarrhea, if it's any consolation (not on my bed, though).

One night (years ago when we lived in an apartment) I got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and did a very long and wobbly slippery slide on the hardwood floor across the entire length of the room, just barely keeping my balance. Only when I finally came to a stop did the smell hit me. OMG!! Nothing like cold liquid stool between your toes at 3am to fully wake you up!

Yeah, but we've all had that. Even between the toes, but maybe not at 3am. I just searched on askjeeves, and finally found a behaviorist that said "we just don't know why some dogs do this." Thanks a bunch.

However, my dd was extremely stressed tonight. Extremely. Numerous meltdowns and many tears. (Oral presentation of a story she wrote tomorrow. Practice did not go so well tonight.) Dog wanted walk. Dog saw stress in house. Dog saw leader ignoring her and concentrating on packmate. Dog can't go to packmates bed to pee to display her unhappiness at being ignored, so she goes to leader's bed instead. Guess that's my story and I'm sticking to it. And the funny thing is that she peed on our walk. Now, the little guy didn't. But I don't see how he could have done it, because it takes him a dozen tries to get on my bed, and even then he isn't always successful. So we would have heard lots of thumps from him, we were right under my room.

Well, the wash is done. I'll go put it in the dryer and put some sheets on my bed (minus my wonderful memory foam topper) and turn in. Thanks for the company, all.

I wish I could post a pic of my culprit. She's almost 30 pounds, and she just fits exactly in the laundry basket. Maybe I'll move it upstairs for her. But I would like to know who has the wicked gas. All I know is it ain't me.

Oh tag fairy...

ROTFL!!

(sorry, I know that isn't funny at all when it happens in real life. With me, it was the cat. And I freaked out and shook my foot instinctively before I really thought about what I was doing...and flung the stuff from between my toes into the intake vent for the central heat and air. NOT a good thing.)

You guys have me rolling! We have two Shih-Tzu's that are that way, revenge pee we call it in our house. The puppy I can undersand, she's a puppy. But the grown male pees specifically on the dust ruffle in our bedroom, it's a male thing IMO. Vet even calls it bad behavior. He now wears a belly band (thanks to whomever on this board posted about them!). We even caught him lifting his leg and peeing on the end table in the great room once! The bad thing is the whole time he's doing it he's looking over his shoulder at you like "heh heh heh" (Reminds me of that mumbly dog from my childhood cartoons! ) The puppy is a hard case, she refuses to poop outside. You can walk he rwith the older dog, she'll watch him poo and pee outside then come in and do it! I think it comes from being in a crate as a baby (breeder situation). She's peed twice on my bed, but as others mentioned I think it's out of being a baby still.

I have 2 dogs, 70lb lab mix and a 40lb border collie mix. The border is the "excited pee dog" and only for my 17yodd.
However she can get it to stop if she wants.

Right now my dogs have had to adjust to apartment life which means we take them out to potty ALL THE TIME. (Yea, having fun here. )

So tell me "their schedule". And also, you need to retrain "potty time" VS "walk time". Keep them seperate.

My dogs are bell trained as well. It is easy to do and the dogs love to hit that bell on the door to go out.

It really is pretty easy if you stick to doing it, just frustrating. Butters the lab mix "held it" for 24hrs when we moved here in April. I called the vet and they assured me that he will go.

OMG - I had to open this thread because a couple of years ago my dog did this and I was too embarressed to ask someone why she might have done this. She was fully housebroken for a long time before she did it too. Once on my son's bed and then about 6 months later mine. She hasn;t done it again.

I wonder what the heck they are thinking

It was funny. My husband was roaring when I woke him up screaming for help!

Now, poop in the vent - that's not funny!

Our lab mix used to pee on our bed too. OMG, it would infuriate me! Now she can't get on the bed because it's too high and she has hip problems.

We went through so many bottles of Nature's Miracle it's not even funny.

Oh, it was gross! Nothing like the heat coming on and the smell of roasting cat diarrhea wafting through your home!

DH actually had to replace some of the ductwork!

I'd like to know why dogs only throw up on carpet. My house is 75% hardwood, yet she finds the carpet to puke on!

Carpet, oriental rugs or beds in my household!
