Default My Dobie is urinating in my bed - deliberatly!

I've been having a bed wetting dog for a couple months.
I first suspected a medical problem, but that seems to not be the problem.
Spring - my adopted doberman mix rescue dog has taken to peeing in my bed. The first couple times, she was allowed to sleep on the bed - I awoke to a wet spot. I then made her a bed on the floor next to me - I've come home from work to find a wet spot - a LARGE wet spot - not a little leak spot - always in the place I sleep on the bed. I've banished her from the bedroom entirely now and it's become a spite and defiance thing now.

In the mean time, there has been a new g/f, and a full time job. I come home at lunch daily for about 5 minutes.

I'm thinking that she should stay outside, but being a dobie - she's very much a next to me kind of dog.



Is there anything I can do, besides bannish the dog to the back yard?

Hello,
Dogs are not spiteful or defiant. However they can be untrained and stressed.
I would keep her out of your bedroom for a while.
It is normal for newly adopted dogs to have some "issues" when they first come into a new home.
Did you take her to the vet for a urinalysis?
After you know for sure it's not a medical problem......
I would crate her when your not home so she does not have the chance to eliminate or destroy anything.
Practice obedience, to establish who is really in charge. You would be amazed at the difference obedience can make:-)
Please don't just give up on her.
Also, I would clean your matress with some kind of pet odor/phermone eliminator, or get a new one before you start letting her back in your bedroom. If the smell is still there she may get "inspired" if ya know what i mean :-)
Hope this helps

Hello Jessie, thanks for stopping by.

I've relented and decided it's better to ban her from the bedroom - she's never been an outdoor only dog and that isn't right.

She's been here for 3 years, she is pretty well obedience trained, - I say fairly, because she has a much easier time if she can go get a toy to carry sometimes; I can spot the first flicker of that thought in her and I have gotten her to where she will obey - if I spot the behavior soon enough. Sometimes she is a little slow to obey; especially if she is watching something or someone. She is one hell of a watchdog. In the past I have yelled commands to get her attention - lately I have stopped yelling and trying repeating the commands - She understands Marine Drill Sergeant very well. Somewhat better in fact than heavy approval and praise.

Obedience wise - she's about a 6.75 off lead and 9.75 with the training collar. - I call her my "blonde" Doobie. I got her at about 2 years; she's here for the duration. When I first got her, a regular choke collar had very little effect - I was talking with a co-worker,, he recamended I get her a training collar with the prongs - just a slight tug with that and she listens perfectly. - First dog that was ever a requirement with!

I eliminated medical causes when she wet my bed with in 1/2 hour of when I left and came back. If that's not spite - she's defiantly saying something. There's been a new girlfriend - which isn't a regular occurrence and the Dobie is not happy - but she seems to love the lady, no bad signs at all. - So long as I like a wet bed.

I think your right - return to the basics, spend some time with her (the dog) and while I have airline kennel, I'd save that for later, however,,,,,, I am considering locking her in the kennel - on top of the bed. Maybe for three or four hours a day. That way she can be in the bed and I won't have to worry. - - That just might help!

Later edit - I thought about the kennel some more and set it up next to the bed. Thanks for the imput; I've NEVER heard of a dog willingly wetting a bed, but when all else fails - return to basics and work from there. I'll be posting back for those that may be interested.


I'm going to get her checked by a vet too,- just incase.

Jane
Default Bed Wetting

I have the same problem with my Westie. She is 7 years old, has no medical problems and she doesn't wet her own bed but every single time I change my bedding she waits til I'm out of the room, jumps on the bed and urinates all over it! Even when she has just been outside! She soaks the sheets and duvet and mattress, in fact she has just done it on my pillow!

It's not possible to block her from the room as my door fell off last year and I can't fix it back on!

The worst thing is my washing machine has been broken for the last 2months and I can't afford to get it fixed. This is the 3rd time she has done this in that space of time and my patience is wearing very thin.

She is not allowed on my bed and knows it, she has her own bed on the floor and my other Westie doesn't do this.

WHY IS SHE DOING IT?????

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! :cry:

I set her airline kennel next to the bed and put a nice soft blanket in there. Easy to keep clean, and she has had no problems since.

If you don't have a kennel, they are easy to find at thrift stores. (Unless you need one.)

good luck! - check back ok?

Jesse is right, sometimes a dog just needs proper training. I often refer people having dog training problems to a rather helpful guide:

Sometimes in a stress ful life dogs try to step up and be the leader, and wetting on the spot where you sleep sounds very dominant to me. Remember you are in charge and I think resticting her to another place or the kennel is a good idea until she realises she is not the alpha dog here.

you should just block off the bedroom or make so she is not able to get on the bed. If that doesn't work then seek other help. I does sound like she is trying to be the leader.

i think papper training will be great for you. her a few tips:
First, Choose a specific area of the house for your to use as toilet area, pick a area such kitchen or laundry this area are free of carpet and making easy for clean.

Place newspaper thickly in a corner of this room. Spread the newspaper area pretty big, since your pup has no idea that she's meant to go on the paper at all. Watch the dog carefully and as soon as you notice it to whimper, sniffing the ground and running in circles, bring the dog immediately the spot where you want it to do its business. When the dog goes potty in the right newspaper-covered spot, praise it lavishly, before removing the soiled paper.

Replace the newspaper and spread in a select area where your dog used as a toilet. At first, your puppy will eliminate pretty much at random on the paper. It's important for the paper-training process that she only gets to go on the paper. If your dog make an accident simply wash the area with warm water and rinse with diluted vinegar to kill the odor the dog has left.

When your dog is consistently eliminating on the newspaper start to take some pieces away until eventually it only has one or two pieces of newspaper left to wee on.

Use terms for "going potty" consistently and praise him when it goes potty on the right spot. Have treats available to give the dog rewards when it has done the right thing quite well.

Feed your dog at specific, scheduled times (for example, a meal at 8 am, 1 pm, and 7 pm) to encourage her to develop an "elimination timetable". This will help you and the dog avoid accidents during a time when it is difficult to move to its potty spot.

With this practical steps and consistency and care you could teach your dog to eliminate at the right place using paper training.
