I have two chihuahuas and they are always pooping under my bed. I have had to pull my bed out over and over again to clean it because i can't get under it. I tried sprays, but they just won't stop. Anyone have this same problem and come up with a solution? I would really appreciate the help.
No they are not from the same litter we call them step brothers lol! We currently live with relatives and have to keep them in the room with us unfortunately.
I was just curious, are they siblings? There both are such cute little things. I'm womdering if you close the door and do not permit them entrance to your bedroom, what would they do?
Hi "Neighbor"! Want to trade for my Bichon-a-poo that poops ON my bed?
You could gently insert opened newspapers under the bed (so they don't wrinkle up) that you could pull out to change. Or, easier, you could block access to under your bed, all the way around. Try collecting large, flat boxes (ask at stores or check out the trash collection dumpsters after delivery days), fill them with anything to prevent the dogs from moving them and position them all around the frame of the bed. I've had to do that with puppies and it works great.
It's easy, keep them out of the bedroom. Put them in a cage and take them outside ever hour or 2 and then they can go to the bathroom, or maybe just leave them outside until they go.

Request: Dog Pooping in My Bed (08/03/2009)
My dog has pooped on my bed on few occasions. How do I keep that from happening again? Why did that happen? She is a pit mix, rescue dog.

RE: Dog Pooping in My Bed
My dogs are crate trained and poop outside. I've noticed that when I'm not showing her "the love" or if she was a bad girl, she will come in and poop on the bed as if to say "I'll show you." (10/23/2008)

I can not believe all the feedback. I also have a Min-Pin, who started pooping in my bed. When he was "supposed" to be sleeping, at least I was. I live in Michigan and it has been very cold here, he also hates snow. I have been cutting down on his food in the evening and it seems to help. Thank god, no one wants to sleep with poop.

Put up a baby gate to your bedroom to keep your dog out of that room during the day. It works. (07/03/2009)
I am the owner of a mini pincher. He has developed the habit of (for lack of a better word) pooping in my bed. They are only small ones that look like they've slipped out? Frankly, I'm just disgusted with the whole problem. Does anyone know a way I can get him to stop?

I am a big proponent of crates. Crate your dog at night until he can control himself. My daughter crated her dog from the beginning and now she will sleep with her and no accidents. Look up crating online, there is a bunch of info on it. (02/24/2006)

Check with your vet, there is sometimes a medical problem for lack of control of bowels. (if just small ones), is this unusual size for the dog? if it is it may be a medical problem. Also, don't feed the dog late in the afternoon, this may help also. I also sleep with my small dog, and this is what I would do first. If these came out clear, then, I would crate the animal, (let him know what he did first), or I keep mine in the bathroom with paper to use at night, if they can't control themselves, and there is no medical reasons for it.

Find out what's wrong. If the dog checks out physically at the vet's then think what emotional changes might have happened. Think about anything that has changed in the house. Is the dog taken outside enough to go to the bathroom? If this is something new then you need to find out what has changed. There's a reason for it. Dogs don't deliberately do things just to make us mad. If anything they do everything they can to please us. (02/25/2006)

Min Pins are prone to be attached to one specific person. If there has been a new addition to the family or you are spending less time with him, they will do that as kind of a dominance issue. My husband used to have a Min Pin and when we got married, he started doing the same thing by using the bathroom in the floor at night. We had to start putting him in a crate. (02/28/2006)

He's probably not pooping on purpose. My Jack Russel started this at 5 years old. I caught her in the act as she was sleeping on my lap and a little ball of hard poop just rolled off of me. I brought her to the vet and he said irritable bowel syndrome, but it's not messy. (11/22/2007)
