You know, I am glad that I have a female. I think that from what I have seen with chi owners, that it is mostly the males that insist on marking. Not saying that females don't mark too, but the females seem to be less stubborn about stopping it. I have also noticed that for some owners who have a chi with an aggression disorder of one type or another, it always seems to be the males. Most of the aggression type are more owner possession Perhaps those are the reasons why there usually is a lot more males in the shelters then the females.
Sue, my heart goes out to you having a dog that is that possessive of you that he pees in your bed. In his mind, he is peeing against your husband. Does your husband discipline him at all? Or, if he is your hubby's baby then he could be peeing against you. Either way, who ever is not number 1 in his eyes, needs to be the one to do the disciplining and the feeding to show that he/she is also the alpha. I have also heard of dogs that were neutered too young, that they have a tendency to leak when they get excited as they get older. They say it is more a physical problem then a psychological issue. Heard the same thing can happen to females. Not sure if that is 100% true or not.

Putting a sanitary napkin or panty liner in the belly band helps to keep them from peeing through it for sure. Neutering him eliminated the humping and his marking actually got better for a few weeks but now he is at it again... I take him out with our other 2 boys and he does all his business outside. But when he is inside and gets excited like just before a walk, or if our two boys are wrestling he still tries to mark. He will even pee on any of our bedding that is within reach like a bedspread. I don't understand that at all. Now he wither has the belly band on or I watch him like a hawk!!

Then I adopt two more boys and Nikko age 14 has always had a problem. And now the youngest chi -Yodee age 6/7 does the peeing and marking also. We can be outside all evening and come in the house and they pee. What am I doing wrong. I have resorted to fannybelts...but cant keep them on and Nikko (listed above info) will pee through the fanny belt. Does anyone have or had this problem and what did you do to correct it???
