Problems with Zoe peeing on bed again

Hav eyou properly cleaned the area thoroughly? Do you give her ANY attention for peeing on the bed? Even if it is "NO! BAD DOG!" that is still giving her attention.

Gate the room, or keep the door closed. This is the same concept as potty training a toddler and they wet the bed. They don't realize it and can't help it sometimes.

Just go back to basics! Clean the bed, covers, and mattress THOROUGHLY with a cleanser for pet urine that contains stuff to get rid of enzymes and that area will no longer be favorable for her to pee. Regular soap and water gets rid of the smell, but not enzymes that dogs can smell and those indicate "hey, pee here" so they will continue peeing in the same spot.

Yes I've done all the above as far as cleaning. But when she has peed, I tell her NAUGHTY girl and she goes into a "time out", which is an entry way.

One last thing that I feel I need to say...
This dog isn't JUST a dog...

She's a part of our family... And I love her dearly...

But it's just frustrating and I have to think about my toddler too.

Try instead, when she potties in the CORRECT place (on a pee pad, outdoors) get REALLY excited and tell her what a good girl she is, give her treats, belly rubs, the works. But when she pees inside, then do not say anything, don't look at her, don't give her any attention.

Also remember it is VERY important to NOT discipline if she does it while you are away and you come home to find the mess. OFtentimes she has forgotten she's done it and she thinks she is now in trouble for greeting you, being happy to see you, coming to you, etc. It is VERY easy to confuse dogs while training, so you must be very specific in y our actions. If you must discipline, you must catch her IN THE ACT, otherwise discipline is pointless for that action.
