YT Addict | Hi Mad's Mom....my Bryan doesn't sleep in the bed with me because I know the first thing he does when he wakes up is pee......But if i did let him sleep with me he'd have to wear his belly band to sleep to avoid any accidents

| It depends: Are they housetrained? Did they pee in their sleep, like they couldn't hold it? If so, then I'd head straight to the vet. Loki has a medical condition called diabetes insipidus which would take a page to explain, but basically he drinks a lot, pees a lot, and he is on 2 medicines to help. Before we figured it out, he would wet in his sleep. In that case it's totally not his fault and I just washed everything and took him to the vet. It was too weird not to. Girls can also have incontinence issues after spaying and they also have medicine to help that! Or did they stand up and pee? - If so, could they not get off the bed to ask to be let out? Or was it a marking the territory kind of thing. Loki never marked (he was neutered early, 6 months) so I can't help you there. I wouldn't let them on the bed if they marked the bed. If they can't get off, try putting stairs next to your bed. If they aren't housetrained, and don't know at least to jump off the bed and pee on the floor, well... then I'd ban them from the bed until they are better trained. Mine always at least knew to jump off the bed even before they were housetrained That's why we crate trained... so we didn't wake up to puddles.

| He has been sleeping in the bed for a month - no accidents. Well on Tuesday he actually came over and pulled my hair and I ignored him so that was my fault, but last night he did it again. I was so frusrated. I think I just need to have him sleep back in his crate. He was doing so well for a month or so. |

I Love My Babies Donating Member | Quote:
When TJ was just a wee baby... I put him in a small soft sided carrier.. and then put it up on the bed with me at night. If he started scratching the sides, it would wake me up and I would take him right out. Then put him back in to sleep (no playing at all during the night). Then when he awoke the next morning.. we would go out and then have play time. It worked well. When he was potty trained.. I let him sleep out of his carrier. No problems at all.

| Nico is 11 months old. When I adopted him at 6months he had no training at all, he was gated in a dining area and left to chew the moldings and the gate. These people had no time for him, they found out that they were not dog people but still waited six months. I cant get doggy steps because he does not go in the house, we are in housebreaking 101 and he has been doing pretty good. Does not know how to tell me he has to go out but I just take him out when I think he needs to go and its working. I limit his water intake and it works. - So basically when I got him at 6 months he had the mentality of a one month old. He was never walked on a leash - I was the first person to take him on a leash. He is doing really well. So I guess its back to sleeping in his crate at night. |

YT Addict | Hi there....don't feel dumb, I found out about belly bands on YT when I first got my little Bryan. A belly band is a piece of material that wraps around the private of your pup it has velcro on the ends to keep it on and you can put a sanitary pad in it to catch the urine....it's pretty cool! I put them on Bryan if we go to someone's house and I don't want him peeing in other peoples house and when he playing hard with the kids because he will just stop and pee wherever he is and not look for his wee pad

| We never slept with animals up until a year ago and I started sleeping with Zada and Azrael each time my husband would go to Alaska for a few weeks at a time. Got so use to it that I couldn't put them back in their own bed. Then the very first night we got Razael, Zada was so traumatized she had the runs. Thankfully we have memory foam between the sheet and the mattress and it didn't go all the way thru. Anyway, that did it for us. We haven't slept with them since. I think we all sleep much better in our own beds anyway. |

| I started out with mine in a soft sided crate as well and they would be in my bed. That way you didn't roll on them but you could hear them when they wake up. Now they usually just lick me in the face when they need to get up. And if I try to ignore them they will lick that much more. It wakes you up. But if they are peeing in the bed I would go back to crate training till they learn not to go in their bed.

| Mufasa peed on my bed one time when we first got him and I think it was because he was scared to jump off my bed because it is really high. Now he just kinda scoots off. lol Where do you get the doggie stairs and are they expensive? I'd LOVE to get some because Mufasa can't jump up on my bed and so he sits on the floor right beside me and cries and whines until I lean over and pick him up. I LOVE LOVE LOVE him sleeping with me so I don't plan on it ever changing! |
