I have no suggestions Dyan. I find it very cute though!! 

 Be careful with the bitter stuff! Emma thinks it's a condiment. She EATS anything it's sprayed on!

Personally, I'd probably gate the bedroom if it became an everyday issue. Emma's done it, once or twice (it probably took her longer than Gibby), but I started confining her, again, for other reasons.

EEKS on the condiment idea!!!!   I HAVE heard that before though.  I sprayed it on when he happened to walk in and he started barking right away at it.....I said to DH "I guess he remembers this stuff!"  I used to spray it on his leash that he used to LOVE to bite when we were walking.

Bproblem with confining him again is..................that IS confining him!  LOL! Seriously....since we gave up on the crate after having him in it for the first 2 months and him crying and slobbering the whole time he was in it......We started using this as his confinment....and we have been doing this for well over a year now. He has pushed a pillow or two on the floor....has kicked up stuff...but this is EVERYTHING off except the bottom sheet...and God knows if that will go next.   Funny...when we come home the bones are usually still in the laundry room cleaned out....as tough he spends time in there finishing all of his goodies and then goes on the bed to sleep. The last two times that he pulled everything off the bed he had his bones in the bedroom....  wonder what THAT means!!!

Hehehe...yeah Lori...he's an amusing dog........LOL  LOL!!!!

 Big piece of card, wrapped in foil.  Or a couple of pieces.  Place it on the bed.  He won't like the feel of it and will leave it alone.  When he hasn't done it in ages, the habit will probably be broken.

 Is the laundry room big enough to put a bed in and gate him in? Mine isn't, and my dogs are small enough that they could fit behind the dryer, and start trouble, but....

What about the kitchen, with some child locks on the cabinets? LOL Gibby, stop being a pain!!!

Dyan, can you put a gate in your bedroom door so he can only be in the laundry room and hall?

I second the gate across the bedroom idea, or shut the bedroom door entirely if possible.

I tried that once to see if it worked, so I could recommend to students - it kept the hound off, but the Aussies just moved it and lied down anyway:-)  Maybe it was not a great test, since my dogs usually are allowed on all the furniture.  But, it did confirm my notion that Maska is a comfort freak and the girls don't care.

I heard (but i havent try it yet) that you could buy car mats or office mats (the ones that have the little rubber points underneath) and place them upside down either next to the bed or on the bed (in case they jump on the bed and over the ones on the floor). The feeling on their paws is not the most comfortable one and that will keep them away.

Hey it worked for me, but I'll allow your dogs might be smarter than mine!
