Why has he started to pee on my bed?

[simmons]

Crash who is a year and a half has always been pretty much a perfect baby. He was house broken at 3 months old and has never had an accident in the house since then. He has been un crated since he was about 6 months and has never chewed or went to the bathroom in the house. Only allowed free roam of the house and no bedrooms. He has been to basic and advanced classes as well.

About 3 weeks ago I found pee on my pillow that has been sprayed. I was getting ready for work when I saw it. Last night, He jumped on the bed and we kicked him off 5 times before we said it was OK to come to bed with us. Usually when we kick him off the second time he gives up and lays on his bed next to ours. This morning I found pee on the edge of our bed on the bottom sheets that were dangling over. I think he did this last night b/c it wasn;t very wet.

We have been practicing NILF for about 2 months now and make him sit or down when he goes outside, comes inside, when he gets fed, gets a treat, goes for a walk or a ride.

Is there anything I need to be doing to let him know we are alpha? I am assuming this is why he has started to pee on our bed.

Any assistance would be helpful, thanks

Is he neutered yet? Sounds as if he is marking the bed as "his territory". If he is not neutered yet, getting it done soon may help stop this behavior--especially before he starts marking other things as well. Obviously, I am sure you are changing the sheets after this happens--but be sure to wipe down the bedframe and carpet areas that may have caught a bit of "splash" with a urine neutralizer like Nature's Miracle or similar to remove the smell completely and not just cover over it.

My 3 1/2 month old female does the same thing. She sleeps on the bed under the covers at the foot of the bed. She gets up about twice a night to go outside. About 2 or three times since we have had her she has crawled to the head of the bed and pee'd between me and my husband. We wash the sheets and spray Nature's Miracle. I'm unsure why she does it or how to stop it so I'd love to here some more advice too!
