    The first step is a visit to the vet. What have you tried so far? I hope you haven't been punishing her for what she may not be to help.

    Another thing would be to make sure she moves around some on her last trip out at bed time. Movement is very important. Her aging body may need more stimulation to relieve itself.

    Peeing in her bed may just be as upsetting to her as you. Don't forget your 'older' dog may be suffering from incontinence same as an elderly person only they can use briefs. Just give her more time or more often if its possible.
