   FIrst, clean the bedding, and the mattresses and box springs thoroughly (some   
   judicious use of bleach to really kill the   
   smell.   
      
   DOgs have this behavioral thing, once they smell urine or   
   excrement of a dog there, any dog it's a signal that this is an okay place to   
   do it.  NO matter how much you let them   
   out, etc. they'll always be triggered by the smell of the   
   old stuff.   
      
   That's your first thing.   
      
   THen, whenever you're not going to be where you can monitor   
   them, deny them the area.  THen when you're there, and   
   they're caught in the act, firm corrective action,   
   immediately sternly told "no" and taken outside.   
      
   But, the key to breaking the bad behavior cycle is getting   
   rid of that residual odor.   
      
   I've done dogs in motel and hotel rooms over the years   
   because of my profession, and you can always tell when they   
   encounter a hotel or motel room where another dog has pised   
   in a certain place.   
      
   get rid of the residual smell, deny access to beds unless   
   you can watch, and take immediate action when the   
   undesirable behavior is spotted.   
      
   Regards,
