please can anyone help me to stop my dog sleeping on my feet and legs every night she sneaks up on the bed and does a widdle

Lock her in the kitchen or utility! Don't let a dog into your bedroom especially when they widdle!

Sorry-you've yourself to blame.
Put her to bed in her own place but first make sure she pees outside before bedtime.
She will whine for a few nights having been used to the comfort of your bed and your company but this is the only way to stop this and you would have prevented it in the first place had you trained the dog when she originally came into the house.
Having a dog pee on your bed at night is not cute.It is no less unhygienic than a person peeing in your bed and you wouldn't tolerate that would you?

The sleeping on your feet thing is a sign of loyalty and love. Its a desire to be close and to protect you. If you do not want her sleeping in the bed you have to train her out of it. My dogs have their pallets next to our bed so that they can be close (this is very much like denning with the alpha dog being the focus). Still occasionally the huge guy will try to get up in the bed. (80lbs plus, still a pup) Because something startles him or he is just feeling like he wants comfort, it is no fun when he tries to lay on my legs. But... I make him get down and lay on his pallet. They learn that's their spot, but just like little kids they are going to push to see what they can get away with.
The peeing... that's a house breaking issue. Most of that has already been addressed, but you can kill two birds with one stone by crate training and the crate can be in your bedroom if you wish. I recommend allowing a dog to sleep in the same room as it assures the animal comfort and that he/she is part of the pack.

My dog does the same thing, and I was told by my vet that it's a common thing for dogs to do, because they love you and want to be next to you. This is basically true, especially if your at work a good portion of the day. Be nice to your pet, return the love, and don't lock your pet up anywhere, it's cruel and really not necessary.

it is thought dogs sleep on their owners feet, so they know if you have moved and can follow you.
The peeing bit, keep them down stairs, toiltet them last thing at night and they should hold out. Unless you lie in a long time. When they go to the loo in the morning (outside) praise them lots etc.. If they pee in the house, put them outside, but dont react to them indoors.

Your dog is very insecure and is making sure that you can not leave her if she takes a chance and goes to sleep. THe rest is marking you as hers when you are not awake to protest and she can feel more secure.

Try using a crate instead of allowing the dog complete freedom.

there is not any sparkling solutions. A canines dozing on the mattress with you is great for most canines and the majority. canines operating shoes and behaviorist will now and again propose that this custom be prevented if there are particular behavioral issues like guarding happening with the canines.

If I'm with you he'll be on my feet as well, animals especially dogs need company.
