Left out one of the biggest causes of pee/potty accidents and that's stress. A dog stressed from a boring or too harried lifestyle, another dog, people, kids, some type of bullying or whatever will often pee or potty to relieve their stress. Dogs can stress from separation anxiety and feel abandoned when left, for example. If we forget to spend "me" time with them often, it can stress some dogs. They can't go take a walk or read a book and don't do "self-talk", so they just pee/potty and relieve lifestyles. In a dog's world, urine and feces mean more than just body waste and where and why they deposit them is often well thought out and makes sense to them and other times, seems very spur of the moment. If you Google "why does my dog pee on my bed" or "why does my dog have accidents in the house" and terms like that, you will see from a wide variety of dog people that there are very many reasons for it and give you a lot more insight into what may be going wrong. Sometimes it is as simple as mixed messages from you where they are to go but usually it is often more than that.
