Awwww, I feel so bad for you. I don't have a lot of advice other than to give you support and wish you patience. Our older dog peed in the bed a few times before figuring out whatever "power" he thought he got from it (I think his was an attempt at dominance and/or marking) wasn't worth getting kicked out of the bed. Coby hasn't done that yet (knock on wood!)
But I'm a firm believer in elminating stress when possible. While it's not a trade off for continuing good training, perhaps you can use belly bands when he is on the bed. You still need to watch for the signs of pottying, but at the very least, it would help all the stress that comes with having to change bedding when you're tired.
Good luck and keep us posted............. |
