My Shih-Tzu has always peed in my other dog's bed. She also pees on my daughter's dog's bed and her own bed, and then sleeps on it. I have not ever caught her and now she's 7 yrs old
At night or when I'm not home, I do not let her roam anymore. She gets blocked in the bathroom with a baby gate, with food and water (which she never touches at night, but it makes me feel better that it's there if she wanted it ). I have a big towel folded on the floor then her dog bed on that and another towel on the bed. Every single night she pees on everything and then sleeps on it. I have even given her nothing to sleep on, and she doesn't pee at night, but will pee on my other dog's bed sometime throughout the day, as soon as she gets an opportunity.
She has peed on my bed in the past, now I keep my door shut so she can't go in there. I'm just so tired of my place smelling like dog urine *Sigh*

I have a french bulldog that does exactly the same. I'm his 3rd owner and he has abandonment issues, as well as abuse history. He won't pee if he sleeps with me but if he is alone he will pee on anything he lays on to sleep.
Mine also pees on carpet I have carpet on the patio and she pees on it I had to take up the little bit of carpet in garage she pee on it she had doggie door can go out any time she wants
There was a study I read before that dogs that pee in their own den is because they have been separated from their pack and he wants to make sure the pack can find them.
My dog anytime I leave her alone I have two other dogs and they are fine also she started peeing in bed and night-time
I have a cat with neurological incontinence. He has several cushy beds throughout the house. On top of every bed I put an incontinence pad. When he has an accident I throw the pad away and replace it.
The incontinence pads are a great idea. I have a cat that does this. The vet said it was stress related and put him on a mild tranquilizer. The problem seems to have been fixed. No peeing on everything for over a year now!
Sorry people, but I don't believe this is a physical illness issue. My cocker does the same thing. If it were an illness then he'd do it even if there weren't a towel or something else to pee on.
Any time a pet pees or poops where it shouldn't regardless of house training, it's time to make sure a physical problem doesn't exist. Could be anything from organ failure to a urinary tract issue. I find physical problems are easier to treat. If it is behavioral, it could be as minor as what you use to clean the floors that they may be sensitive to. If they can't or won't control their excretions, look into "diapers".
