We have a bichon that is a year old. He has been fixed but is now peeing on the kids bed, at least one bed a night. He is treated very well, he stays in the house and goes out whenever he wants. I am at a frustration level right now. Any help would be great.

It might be a bladder infection or kidney problems. I would suggest a trip to the vet.

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing.....like a doggy UTI. :-)

He probably has a UTI. I bet he is peeing in other places around the house as well. My shih tzu has periodic bouts with UTI's and one of the first signs is a tiny wet spot on the carpet when she gets up

I would take him to the vet, and also if they find nothing wrong, perhaps they might have some ideas. When our dog had a bad spell, we started putting him in his kennel at night. It solved the issue quickly. He was much happier laying on the end of our bed (all 70lbs), then sleeping in his kennel.

Yep, kennel him up, then he can't pee on the kids' beds---he'll have to pee on his own!

Must be something wrong, an infection like everyone is saying, because he is fixed. Hope he gets to feeling better soon !

Awww your poor pup :-(

I love bichon pups ( heck I have one LOL ),,, and yes I agree with everyone he must have a nasty UTI,,

hope he gets better soon :-)

Hopefully your baby is not sick, once you take him to the vets and everything is okay healthwise which I sincerely hope all is okay. Now he is a male correct personally speaking I have 4 shelties at the present time. 3 females and one male . My male Simba is small like his one daughter however when I take them out in the yard he will pee about 5 different times, while the girls take their time finding the right place, they are ladies afterall lol. Anyway even when in the house I cannot ever full trust him, if he gets nervous he will let out a little pee here and there. So perhaps its a male thing, also has anything new happened in the house to cause him to be nervous or upset. Please keep us posted and I sincerely wish all works out.. Peace. Catherine

Update: He does not have a infection. The vet thinks maybe just a naughty behavior for whatever reason. We took him camping this weekend and he did fine. We will see how this week goes. I hope a lot better!

Omg I am so happy to hear there is nothing medically wrong with him... Like I said for me personally males tend to pee more and when sometimes any dog whether male or female is they get nervous will let some urine got just from being nervous or they get excited. Good luck . Peace. Catherine

Since it's not an infection, I'd definitely crate him at night. Should solve the problem rather quickly. He's gotten used to it and is getting attention for it (even if it's bad attention).

Yep, crate him.

I have a 2 year old bichon and she was doing the same thing. No medical problem & peeing all over beds, pillows, all over! When she starts acting up like that, I crate her at night. She's also crated during the day if I'm not at home with her to watch her every move. It works.

Bichons are also really bad about having separation anxiety. I don't know if that's a problem, but with mine, she does this when we have to be at the ball field more or during cheering season. Maybe just looking for more attention even though you give your fur-baby so much love, they just can't get enough!

Usually when normally well behaved cats and dogs have potty issues show up all of a sudden it turns out to be a medical issue.

But who knows why a dog is upset. Has anything changed? Schedules due to summer vacation? Food? Sleeping arrangements?
