Our problem is, even though every bit of advice available tells you that dogs wont go to the toilet in their bed, ours does, and we have no idea how to solve it!
Luckily he has only messed in there twice (we think the changeover from wet to complete food might have upset his tummy for a few days) but he wets it constantly.
We make sure he goes just before we go to bed or before we go out, but even when we have been in the house before and put him in for a nap he goes on his bed almost right away!
Is he scenting it, or just not getting that a bed is not a toilet?
PLEEEEASE HELP!!! Im sure washing fleece blankets twice a day is not doing my share of pollution any good, lol!

i had this problem many years ago with one of my first bull terriers
She kept weeing in her bedding ,and no matter what i tried she kept doing it
she was housed outside so she had access to wee when ever she liked ,so i couldn't make out why she was doing it, i spoke to allot of breeders on why she was doing this but i don't really think anybody can give the real answer
some said its because some mothers are lazy with their pups and don't teach them to leave their beds to go wee or that the pup didn't take notice !?
Who knows?? But what i do know is that no matter what i tried it did not cure it
she did it all the time i had her ,it was so bad she had to be kenneled from the other dogs as the smell from the bedding was awful
Some dogs just do this !
And the thing is how do you train the dog not to do it when you cant even catch him/her in the act!??
I am sorry to hear your dog is doing this as lets hope he grows out of it as nobody wants a dog living inside thats weeing in there sleeping place!
Cause the smell of ammonia from dog wee is rank
Hopfully he will grow out of it ,fingers crossed for ya
