Dog Urinates on couch, Brisbane QLD

i have a 3 year old desexed male staffie, at night time when everyone is asleep he urinates on pillows, couches, beds (if the door is left open), even in his own dog bed. How do we get him out of this habbit?

That's really strange that he does it at night while you are asleep! First you need to establish whether it is a emotional of physical thing. Limit the amount of water he drinks in the evening, and make sure he had a wee break before bed time. Almost all the Staffie's i know of have similar 'emotional' issues. They are such sensitive souls. It might be a symptoms of anxiety. Try containing him to one room, full of comfortable blankets and treats. If it continues I would speak to the vet, he may need some drug therapy to help.
