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,
