My dog has pooped in my husband's bed for two days in a row after he leaves to go to work. I currently sleep in the nursery with our son so I don't realize he's done it until I get up to take him out in the morning. My husband works graveyard shift and our dog normally sleeps through the night and goes to the bathroom in the morning. It's been the same way for a while now and it has been working. Well yesterday and today he has pooped in my husband's bed. He has never done this before so I'm lost. He's 12 years old so he knows better!
Our son is 14 months old so he's not new to him, but I'm starting to get the feeling our dog is upset about something. Our baby has been getting a lot of attention lately because of his age and milestones he's reaching. The dog doesn't seem happy about it.

Your dog is reacting because the baby is getting too much attention for his liking. You may have to crate him at night to show him who is boss.
Ok we will be getting a crate to put him in... we put him in the den this morning and he pooped in there too... this is getting out of hand... its disgusting and Im at my wits end...
aside from possible territorial problems, at that age it might be good to rule out blindness or deafness. When a dog's senses start to go it becomes stressful for him to go out and 'do his business'.
As well frequent walks at scheduled times might help him learn to 'go' at the times you want (which I assume your'e already doing)
Your dog is most likely dealing with aging issues. 12 years is old for a dog. You need to have him evaluated by your Vet. If it turns out not to be a physical problem, I would recommend some special attention for him.
