Ok, from all the dog training shows that I have been watching lately, they all say that peeing on the bed is a dominance issue. They are putting their scent over yours in the case of your bed and other dogs, in the case of their beds. Apparently any dog that pees on a bed (because your scent or the scent of other dogs is the strongest in beds) thinks they have the "right" to do it.

The advise from the training shows is, that you must re-assert yourself as the dominant one in the household. (and this must be accomplished in multiple ways)

Once she is put back in her place within the pack, this behavior should cease.
