I really don't think this has ANYTHING to do with nce. Hounds are attracted to spots where they've eliminated before. Since he's a beagle, his nose is incredibly attuned to smells that are so minute that you have no idea they are there. This pup does have housetraining issues.
I suggest putting a command on his potty such as "Go now" or "Hurry up" or "Do your business." Something to that effect. Also leash him when he goes outside, take him to the same spot. When he goes potty outside, reward and praise. If he doesn't go he doesn't get a reward. And in addition to that, no more trips onto the bed. If he insists on jumping up, leash him in such a way that he cannot jump up.
And I just thought of this, I'm sure someone will correct me here if I'm wrong or way off base, but is it possible that he's performing a submissive ion on the bed? Do you catch him on the bed and "correct" him? If he's a fearful dog, this might be the case. There's just alot of variables here.
