A report on my staffs...

[nathangeorge]

I took the advice in here and all seems well

Buddy gets his tea first, gets stroked first, is let off the lead first etc.

However, last night when we went to bed there was this wet patch on our bed

on investigating I can see it is wee, it was still wet and I know Buddy would not have done it as he is completley toilet trained, Lexi never asks to go outside and often will go in the kitchen where they sleep which we find in the morning....but, on our bed??!!! Of all the places she could have gone, is there something odd about that?

Glad to hear you seem to have sorted your aggression problem. Can't help with the weeing though, maybe keep the bedroom door shut for a while til things settle down. As an aside after replying to your last post and saying my girls seemed to have settled down. Famous last words...ended up at the vets couple of days later. Poor Matty had to have her chest stitched up. I sooo love my doggies.

Nothing odd about the peeing the owners bed, it's a very common place for dogs to do their deed...lol. it can be due to a few factors, i.e anxiety, a place that has a strong scent of u, to scent as their property where a another dog shares the same space/territory, change of routine, urine infection.
Block her access when she cannot be supervised.

So nice to hear you feel things are better between your dogs,

About the peeing in the bed, I've had it happen, and with every dog there have been different causes, one dog did it during the beginning of her loneliness-training (first dog and I started on a to difficult level ), another one did it once the first time I had changed my sheets and the unfamiliar smell made her feel insecure. The latest time was with the two puppies me and my mother have now, mother's pup figured out how to get up in my bed before my one, and after a while when Beata needed to go, she couldn't get down and go to the door, because Blomma didn't let her. But they both have had accidents in my mothers bed, she sometimes sweats a lot and the puppies seems to have responded to the smell, that didn't go away just by changing the sheets.
Probably not much help for you, only wanted to say that there's different reasons, and your not alone, though I suggest you don't focus to much on that she's done it in your bed, without focusing on getting her an overall better toilet-habit.


Good luck from Sweden.

Oh no what happend, did they have a bad fight?

When Lexi hurt Buddy in the fight before I almost cried for him as he looked so hurt, it was so sad, I think he was really shocked she had a go back at him, but things are much better now-bless them

Yes we make sure we keep the door closed now lol. That has made me feel much better, I was quite hurt that she did it on my side of the bed, as if it was something she didn't like about me and that was how she showed it!

Thank you.

Its all helpful for me when trying to understand doggie behavior so thank you

It wasn't a long drawn out thing. I was right there and split them up straight away but she caught her in the soft part of her chest and caused damage kind of inside. She now has a remote training collar on so it's her last chance or she gets muzzled forever! Most of the time they play and sleep together but then odd occasions it kicks off and you can never predict when.
