Answer: Soiling own bed
If he is still a pup it may just be that his bladder isn't big enough yet, and he literally can't hold on. He may also be a very solid sleeper! Put the two together and he has a wet bed. Some what like children. Encourage him to wee right before bed time. Also try to limit his liquids a few hours before bed. Hopefully he will grow out of it. If not, have a chat to your vet.
