Has he been vet checked for worms? Other than that I have no idea how to train him when he does it in his sleep. One of the more knowledgeable members will have more advice.

Does your dog have normal bowel movements during the day? Are the stools runny and soft or hard and round?

If your dogs is having accidents during the day, then I would lean towards incontinence, but if all is normal during the day, it could be something neurological. If this is something that is happening every night, you should seek a vet. Ask for x rays to be done, as there might be a problem with your dog not being able to fully eliminate during the day, and then releasing the last amount of feces when his body and muscles are relaxed.
