I have two dachshunds that soil wherever they sleep. Max is the one I really think that does it, he is a brown/red mini and he will be three years old this June. Rufus is black and he will be two this June. They are both boys and have been "fixed". I do not know what to do about this. I wash the material that they pee on but they continue to do it. I have read up about this and the only thing I read is that dogs do not soil where they sleep. Well, mine do and I have no idea why. We are fixing to move into an apartment and they are going to stay in most of the time. What can I do?

Perhaps they are not being let out often enough? Do you wash the beds with a product specifically designed to neutralize the urine odor?

I have heard that doxies can be very hard to housetrain. Are they confined to their beds (i.e. in a crate)? Or do they have free roam of the house but still prefer to soil their beds?

Just wanted to say hello to another Rufus owner. I thought you were going to talk about weimeriners for some reason. My terrier mix's name is Rufus. Down below.

Yes, they have free reign of the house, they go out a bunch. I ask them all of the time if they want out and sometimes they go and sometimes they don't want to go. They pee wherever they lay down.?!?!?

Hmmm. Any idea if they are peeing in their sleep, or while awake?
