| Any pet therapists out there? I swear I am at my wits end with what to do with Lily. I have posted this before, but now it is driving me crazy. She constantly gets on one bed in the house and pees on it. This is not the bed she sleeps in although she occasionally naps on it. I JUST got the da** comforter out of the dryer from her yesterday tinkle up there and I'll be darned if I didn't walk bak in the rom and she peed on it again. It was still hot from being in the dryer and is now being washed again. What the heck is this all about? Any one have a thought or suggestion?

| I would shut all bedrooms doors and keep her out unless you are in there with her. All the best! |

| Perhaps the scent is still in the mattress? I am not suggesting that your mattress smells like pee but dogs have such a keen sense of smell they can smell a crumb in a carpet. Shutting the bedroom door is a good idea.

| I appreciate both of your advice. That seems like the sensable thing to do, however, this is the room where my computer is. I spend alot of time in here talking to you all and Lily follows me. Guess I'll have to keep her out anyway.

| Maybe try to cover the bed with a plastic drop cloth. I would suggest one of those blue or green ones so you can hear her when she gets on it. Correct her and take her to the place she is supposed to go. Grab a treat if she responds. Might be wise to put a wee pad in the room so you don't have to carry a peeing dog thru the house. Does she pee on it repeatedly or just once as if marking??? There are several people who probably have a better suggestion than that. |

| Hey, I never thought of a drop cloth. Thanks!!!! She usually just pees once and generally in the same spot. (Where my husband sleeps ) He is not very happen about the situation to say the least. May be she doesn't like him. Mostly she is a perfect little girl except for this annoying little habit.

| Have you tried soaking the spot on the bedding-mattress and pads- with a solution just for that. I don't know one to suggest cause I use Odo Ban products, but someone will have good suggestions.. Bet the plastic will not be fun to put your tootsies and your tushe on if you are a delicate sweet Yorkie..LOL |

| Maybe placing a peepee pad on the floor in that room would divert her pottying? |

| We bought bed elevators at bed bath and beyond...really cheap and they raised the bed like 4 inches. Now Sully can't jump on it. Maybe you should try that?! Good luck. I hear your frustration....I am still waiting for the dry cleaner's to finish our comforter after last week's diarhea incident

| I like the plastic cover and the bed lift idea, but then youwould have to fashion moveable steps so she could get up and down when it was time for bed since I take it she slleps in that bed with you. I think they also have things that deter animals from getting on certain furniture. As long as it is humane and doesn't traumatize them you might find one of those devices. |

| Here's another suggestion for laundering: Since vinegar is used to eliminate odors in carpet, I'll add a few cups of vinegar to the prewash cycle and then longest hot wash cycle. I use the laundry soap as I normally do. I also follow-up with an extra rinse because I don't want to smell the vinegar, heh. Once I cleaned the bathroom floor with vinegar. This is where Bodhi's wee pad is. Bodhi hated the vinegar smell and urinated in his old spot of his younger days, instead. I'll never do that again! Ha ha! |

| I'm not sure if this is what the other people were talking about (I don't know what a drop cloth is) but I bought plastic covers specifically for mattresses for my little bed wetter (my son would just hate me for saying that!) It was like $10 at walmart I think. That would keep her from smelling the previous accident and keep the next one from going in the mattress again. I have dumped a bunch of Nature's Miracle on my son's mattress from his previous nighttime accidents and let it dry. The smell is not there anymore. |

| I am not sure if this make sence and if it's the same with dogs, but maybe she's trying to tell you something. There was this lady who has 2 bunnies, completely house trained /at that time I was having a bunny as well and was an active member of a similar forum but for bunnies/ and one of her buns started peing on her sofa, every time at the same spot especially when she knew her owner is looking at her! It turned out she's got an ear infection and she was just giving signals that something is wrong with her. She stopped doing that and got back to normal after she got her treatment and was cured.

| I wouldn't shut her out, might encourage her to stand and bark at your door. I do think a plastic throw of some sort would discourage incidents. Maybe a shower curtain with a towel on it, in case of a happening (so it doesn't run off). be careful it is not too thin as in a suffocation thingy. ie: trash bag Also, be careful not to tell your husband the dog might not like him; then he might not like the dog (my family is sensitive that way). Take care in raising the bed - if you put her up there, remember she might still jump off. We have hard floors in the bedroom, and our bed is pretty high. It scares me because the pups jump from there.
