Dog Behavior Problems: Stop Dog Peeing On The Bed

Author: Shane

"Help!  My dog is peeing on the bed!"  This is a desperate situation.  Your dog is using your bed as a bathroom - the last place you want that to happen.  What can you do to stop her?

If your dog goes to the bathroom on the bed more than where she's supposed to, you have a common problem faced by many dog owners.  Fortunately it is possible to correct a misbehaving dog at any age.  Here are some tricks to stop your dog from peeing on the bed.

Use bitter spray


Most pet stores sell bitter spray or Bitter Apple. This is totally harmless and merely acts as a repellent for your dog; it will not hurt him in any way.

It is normally used to stop a dog from chewing surfaces, but can also be used to keep her from peeing on the bed.

Positive reinforcement


When your dog goes to the bathroom where she is supposed to, reward her with a treat and say "Good dog!" very positively so she knows she has done right.

You can also give your dog a treat as a reward.  Eventually she will go where you want her to and stop peeing on the bed completely.

Make sure your dog does not have an infection


Sometimes dogs go to the bathroom where they are not supposed to because they have a UTI or urinary tract infection.  Pets will seek out a soft place to urinate so it does not hurt as much.

If you see your dog repeatedly going to the bathroom on pillows or your bed it could be a UTI, so take her to the vet ASAP.
