So, before I got Bonie, I was told that she is a submissive pee-er and since I've had her have only witnessed this once, and witnessed once what I would call an excitement peeing incident.  She is not fully housetrained- but doing really well I think since she's only had accidents the first couple of days after her arrival- and none in the past 4 days.

However, last night was altogether different and I'm curious to see what others think happened- or what kind of peeing this was so I can try to figure out how to handle it.

Bonnie and Chloe were asleep on my bed last night- as usual.  My son got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom (which is unusual!) and my bedroom door was open to the hall so Bonnie heard him and immediately started to barking at the noise in the dark. Chloe then started to bark and I'm telling them to both be quiet and then told my son to hurry up and say something so they knew it was him and not something else they should be warning me about.  As soon as Bonnie heard his voice she settled down, but then jumped off my bed and ran into his room just as he was getting back into bed.  I'm calling Bonnie back to bed, and the next thing I hear my son cussing about the blankety-blank dog- and I ask what's wrong.  She'd gone in and peed on his bed- and it got on him too.  I asked if it was a little or a lot- he said a lot, so I don't think it was submiossive, or excitement since she seemed to have emptied her bladder- but then again it was the middle of the night- so that's what she had in her.  

So, what I am trying to figure out- is what may have prompted/caused this behavior in her.  Do you think it was marking out of fear, protectiveness, bonding, or was it submissive, excitement or???  Any ideas?    I read the Urine marking reasons thread posted- but not sure how to "handle" since I don't know yet, what to call this.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Terri, not real sure on that one. When we got Alice we had some issues with her house breaking. Sometimes she would pee right in front of me. I don't know why. I would give her a NO and right outside with praise out the wazoo. She finally got it. It is still very new to Bonnie, maybe she was scared, maybe she just had to go, I don't know. Can you close your door as to avoid this situation again??  I hope your son wasn't too mad!!  Maybe someone will know more but I am not sure, I am chalking it up to newness.

I think it is fear and dominace pee

it almost sounds as if she is confused and not sure where she stands in the family....what rank....who comes first and how does she become more dominant..or what is her rank and she needs to know where and why she is the lesser of the ranking.....but I have not been around to really know your situation...I hope all goes well.....not sure about the currsing and your sons age....your post about it all sounds like you are frustrated.....I wish you all the luck and hope that all goes well.....good luck Milly

If my foster dog Morgandy wakes up during the night for any reason I take her straight outside...once they're awake they realize they have to pee.  I still take Mayfly out too if she wakes up during the night. 

Don't agree that all dogs love to pee on beds....normally dogs don't like to pee where they sleep! 

Yeah, probably most adult dogs don't have to pee during the night but Mayfly has a habit of sometimes not peeing right before bed so if she wakes up during the night I take her out.  Not every night but a couple of times a week.  None of my other adults need to go out if woken up (4).

i think withi t being said you have had her for 2 weeks that anything is possible and it isnt a big deal either way. the"jumping" could have made her have to go all of a sudden. i wouldnt put anything thought to it unless it becomes repetitive.
