Don't understand

[leefizz]

Hi everyone, I was late taking Fizz out for her walk earlier, only by about twenty minutes. I was getting ready and turned around to find her weeing on my bed.She has done this before but it was ages ago when I first got her and then I put it down to nerves.

Most of the time she is very clean. There been times during the night if she's wanted to go then she'll wake me up and go to the door. I thought dogs weren't supposed to go to the toilet where they sleep.

Nothing has happened today to upset her. She had her morning walk/breakfast, she's been playing with her toys and sleeping as normal. Don't understand why she did it on the bed, she had the whole floor. I'd appreciate any ideas on this. Thank you.

Hi lee
sorry i answered this on a different subject must be having a mental day, i have been asked this many thimes over the years and it is usually bitches that do it and bitches that are clean normally, whether it is trying to be top dog or just plain laziness i dont know, but make sure you let her know you will not tolerate it and put her out the garden and then praise her when she does it in the garden . normally when told off they do not do it again, but have no idea why they do it in the first place would love to read minds

Hi Pat, thank you. I think in Fizz's case it's her trying to be top dog. I did tell her off at the time and she knew she'd done wrong. I put down that get off repellent spray, that did the trick last time= Ive not had to use it ages.

I'll do what you said and praise her when she does goes outside.

Possibly marking her territory before she leaves it unattended?

I hadn't thought of that, but thankfully it hasn't happened since.
