Dirty Dogs

[brassring 2]

Im hoping someone might be able to help me, I have a lurcher and spaniel both kenneled together alls well,When i checked their bedding before the cold weather i found that one or both of them are peeing in the bed and not bothering to go out even though they have a big run.

Has anyone else had this problem and how if at all did you sort it out.

All the best and happy hunting,Brassring

What size would you suggest as i really need to stop them doing it

18 inches is too low in hight they will bake in the summer.Are they two dogs together

[brassring 2]

I have the same problem in the puppy pen.I have wood shavings and the younger dogs pee in it,caught the odd older dog doing it too.I think the dogs dont equate it to fouling their bed because it disappears as if by magic into the wood shavings.
