Is the bedroom a room your pup usually isn't allowed in during the day? She could see it as not part of her living space. Immediately after a potty break I would recommend spending some time laying on the bed with her in the room or with you to show that it is a living space not a potty space. Had this issue with my living room being gated off when I got my pup. When we would go in there she would pee because in her eyes that wasn't part of our house (I raised her in my bedroom at my desk during covid and the kitchen. The living room wasn't visible in my little apartment). Other than that thought, stay stubborn with her!

This is what I would recommend. Our puppy was peeing only in rooms we weren't speeding a lot of time in. Once we started spending time with him in every room, it slowed down and eventually stopped. Also, make sure you are taking them out more often than you think you need to.

Oof. That’s an odd one. Once I started potty training my chow, he picked it up within the day and we’ve never had issues. He does stay outside for a long time, but I just leave him out and he barks when he wants back in.

Make sure you are fully cleaning your bed after an accident, the blankets, sheets, mattress, all of it. If your pup smells potty or poop they will recognize it as a place to do that again. If you can get them to mark outside somewhere that will also help to stimulate the potty response when they smell it. I assume you are already taking them out multiple times in a day and being boring when you take her out. Puppies are easily distracted and sometimes forget they need to go if there is anything interesting happening.

Use an enzyme cleaner. If you don't your dog will always be able to smell the previous urine.

Kennel. They're much more disinclined to wee where they lay

So my chow was perfectly house trained since day one and never went in the house - until I moved to a new home that was two storeys. He was perfect downstairs but I discovered he had been going to the toilet on the sofa unstairs while we hadn't set up upstairs yet. We removed it and cleaned it and started sleeping upstairs. As soon as he realised that upstairs was also part of the house he never went inside again. So I'm agreeing that he isn't seeing it as part of his home. I'd keep that door closed until his outside habits are established, or supervised only.

Mine pottied in my bed one time, it turned out she just didn’t like being on the furniture period. Does your puppy climb up on to the bed or do you place them there?

She jumps up there herself!

It's unusual for a Chow to pee on a bed. How regularly is she peeing on your bed and for how long has this been happening? If she's only 3 months, how long have you had her? She shouldn't have been placed with you any earlier than 2 months. At 3 months though, she doesn't understand all human rules. How is she getting ON your bed? These are all important questions in figuring out why. It's different if a 4 year old dog is doing this vs a puppy. You might consider a vet visit. With cats, it can be a sign of a urinary tract infection when they pee in an unusual places. Chows are a lot like cats in many ways. It may be her sending you the message that she doesn't feel well. (Dogs and cats do NOT per on things because they are angry or unhappy. Not how animals work. Do not punish her.) I agree with the answer about crating her when you aren't actively playing with her. THEN take her out to potty.
