Peeing on my bed out of the blue

[laylaslady]

My 7 month old boxer girl was pretty well house broken until recently she started peeing on the bed. Shes done it once on the guest bed and twice on me and my fiancee's bed. But she has been peeing on just his side and almost right on his pillow. This has all happend within a week and a half. What's up? And how do I properly correct her? I only have caught her once. I'm getting tired of washing bed sheets :( Help!

I'd be concerned that it was a medical issue more so than a behavior one.
Could be something simple like a urinary tract infection that a round of antibiotics would clear up.
Possibly call the vet and ask about bringing in a urine sample for testing. Pretty simple and not expensive.
If it is clear than you can work towards correcting the behavior by limiting access to those areas.
You can't correct if you can't catch her in the act so you may just have to keep her out of those areas.

Omg

That is so weird.... my 5 month old female boxer is started doing the same thing for the last 2 weeks. Totally house broken and all of a sudden she is peeing on my bed. Smack dab in the middle. No reason for it, since we have been closing the door she hasn't done anything else!! I have no idea what is causing it though because nothing in my house has changed. Please be sure to post if you have any idea as to what is causing this I would be curious.

This same thing happened with Maggie when she was around that age and she was fully trained, she ended up having a urinary tract infection once it was treated she was fine. She has not gone on the bed or anywhere else in the house since. She is almost 1year old now. Good luck

I agree with the previous posters, it could be a UTI. Our pup was 7 months and having accidents on inappropriate places like her bed and ours and it ended up being a UTI.

Very frustrating, I thought she was acting out because I kept telling her to get off the bed ... I felt bad later on when I found out she probably couldn't help it!!
