I have two 1 year old Beagle puppy brothers. They are not potty trained, but they do use potty pads very well. My biggest issue is that they constantly poop on their bed. I've had to buy 3 new beds for them.
We always buy a large bed definitely big enough for the both of them to have room to spread out and be comfortable and they actually like sleeping together. We wash the bed cover once a week so it's always fresh and they love to rub their faces in the bed when it comes out of the dryer.
First their bed was in a huge crate. They started pooping on it. We assumed the crate was the issue even though it's big enough to fit like 3 German Shepherds. So we moved the bed next to ours and it didn't change anything. Except now they pee on it too.
They do get taken out every few hours. The whole time we've had them (since they were 8 weeks old) either my fiance or I have been able to stay home (ie., if he works I don't and vice versa) so they're basically never in the crate unless they do something really bad, like chew up my bathroom door while I take a 45 minute nap even though they were not confined to the bathroom.
Anyway. Why are my dogs pooping in the one place they really shouldn't?

Dogs usually don't defecate where they eat or sleep. You need to take them to a vet to see if there are physical issues.
My shitzu does the same thing--be to the vet --nothing wrong with her--she even eats he poo--I have 2 one is very clean they use to sleep in the same create and I had to separate them so I now have only one dirty smelly dog instead of two. I have done every thing the vet said and anyone else nothing seems to work both dogs are a year old---I am at the point that I really do not want this dog---but don't want to get rid of her--I have had since she was 8 weeks--I have left her out in the pen for 3 hours she will come in and mess her bed--what can I do
I have 2 female chawawas 4months old , sisters. Im having the same problem. Its just the one bigger one that gets her sisters poo and puts it in theyre bed. She shreds puppy pads also. The small white one always uses her pad , when its not rolled up in a ball and shredded .
I'm having some of the same problem with my 2, 4 month old Chihuahuas... one male, one female... from different breeders. Why do they do that? I have always been told that dogs will Not go potty where they sleep.... and I'm here to tell you, that's So Not true!! They will, and they do!! I wish they didn't.
I have the same problem, my 10 month old Tenterfield Terrier eats his own sh*t and sh*ts on his bedding, he drags his bedding out of his kennel into a sunny spot and shits on it. I bought him a brand new plush blanket and bathed him before he used it, thought if he smelled nice and fresh as the blanket he would be fine, nope!
No helpful answers on here. My dog the same. Then she walks in it and its spread everywhere.
I have a 2 year old Giant Schnauzer. She poops on her dog bed occasionally.
Whats up with that?
I took my chieeiwini to the vet for peeing on her bed and the vet checked her and said there's nothing wrong with her physically I have never seen this kind of behavior before
