dog crates that look like furniture image
Sunday
I have a malteese, and a papillion, about 4 years old! They still pee on the carpet in my bedroom in the same spot all the time! They will go on rugs too , if I use them! They have done it so much , I can't get the smell out, and the carpet is so worn out in that spot! I put tile in the rest of the house, but I can't afford to do my bedroom yet! I have grass in the back yard, and a doggy door, so they can go out whenever they want! Usually when it's cold , or rainy, they don't want to go on the grass, so when were not looking, they go on the carpet! I use a little green bissel to spot clean, but it seems to be making it smell worse! I can't sleep at night, because the smell bothers me!
Can anyone help me , before I tear out my carpet, and just live on conctete, untill I can afford to put more carpet or tile in my bedroom?
Even If I could afford it , I don't know what to replace the carpet with! If I put more carpet, they will probably pee on it too, and tile would be kind of cold!
I potty trained them when they were puppies, and I've been a stay at home dog owner most of their lives, so I take them out alot!

House-training an adult dog isnât much different from house-training a puppy â in fact, your adult dogs should be able to âhold itâ for much longer than a puppy, making retraining an adult less labor intense. Dog crates can be useful training tools when it comes to correcting house soiling problems, because dogs generally will not soil in their immediate environment. However, if your dogs have never been placed in a crate, take care to introduce him slowly.
Sry forgot to add that the last link is for home remidies to take out pet odors. Hope this helps.
Also, consider that your dog may define home differently than you do. To you, home may be a multi-story house, but your dog may see everything beyond the kitchen (which he has kept spotless) as âoutside.â By restricting your dogs to a smaller area for a while, and then gradually extending their home area, you can help them learn the ropes.
The procedure: Take your dogs outside, on leash, to a regular âtoilet areaâ and give them a food treat for eliminating there. Try to keep âtoiletingâ walks brief: If they are going to urinate, itâll probably happen right away. If you do not have immediate success with them, take them for a longer walk, try using a different leash, or try exiting from a different doorway. This way you can emphasize that a bathroom walk has only one purpose. If they don't cooperate in time allowed, return indoors and supervise or restrict them, then repeat the bathroom walk in 15 to 30 minutes.
If you discover an âaccidentâ after the fact, clean it up without a fuss â punishment today wonât stop the behavior from being repeated tomorrow. Usually, consistent supervision or confinement and regularly scheduled bathroom walks (donât forget the rewards!) will eventually teach your dog what is expected of him. If you catch him in the act, tell him ``no,ââ but resist the urge to shout. Instead, reward them lavishly when they go where they are supposed to.
In addition to the above measures, it is very important to clean up previous messes. Physical cleanup or masking the odors won't do, instead try a proprietary odor neutralizer should be used. These products contain enzymes or live bacteria that destroy the odors at the source by breaking down the molecules. Without these measure the dog will be attracted right back to a previously soiled area. This will include shampooing the carpet and furniture thoroughly.
Remember animals have a very behavioral nature and they are probably trying to out-mark each other so you have to be very routine as animals love routine. Work with both of them at the same time so they observe each other in training. It may be necessary to take them to a dog trainer to get help with this issue or call a local trainer in your area who can work with your dogs at the house. Make sure if you take on this endeavor yourself that you are able to spend ample time with them as that is what it will take to accomplish this.

Can anyone tell me what breed of puppy is really good about not chewing on wood furniture?
Katy
I have a 6 month old lab mix that chews on our wood furniture and just doesn't seem to stop no matter how many toys I give her. I really want to get her a companion to play with while I'm at work, and hopefully that will stop her from chewing everything to pieces since she will have a buddy. Can anyone recommend a breed that isn't notorious for chewing everything in sight? Thank you :)
Answer
Do you have a Kong and a sterilized hollow bone for her? If no then get them. The Kong is a rubber beehive shaped toy for your dog. Since she is a heavy chewer you should get either the red or black one...skip the puppy one, it will be too soft for her. Stuff these two things with anything that you think she will like. If she likes ice cubes both of these can also be put in the freezer. Next, if she is not trustworthy in the house when you are gone she should be kept in a puppy safe space such as a crate or small utilityroom, bathroom or a small section of the kitchen. Get her in the habit of chewing on appropriate chew toys (different from play toys). Praise and reward her for chewing on her things. Correct her with a 'EH EH' when she goes to chew on something that she is not allowed to chew on. Give her an appropriate chew toy and again praise and reward her. Dogs always do better with a friend although maybe it might be a good idea to solve the actual problem first. After all, all dogs are different and even though some dont usually chew, many times they will pick up habits from another dog in the house. It sounds like the last thing you need is two dogs that chew everything in the house. Better to solve this issue first and then get another for companionship. They also make bitter sprays to help deter (bitter apple and bitter yuk are two that I know the names of offhand) These both will wear off with chewing so reapply often. If you try to trust little girl with just a bitter spray during the day, I dont think you will get the desired results. If she chews aggresively enough to start to wear out the taste she will learn to tolerate the taste for a little bit before it wears off and you wont be home to reapply. Let her know that she IS allowed to chew in front of you but only on HER stuff. Avoid yelling at her when you come home and find things chewed to bits. She has a 2-3 second window of association and she has not a single clue why she is getting in trouble. All she knows is that when you get that look on your face, she gets in trouble for an unknown reason. She will slink away until you are safe to be around. She does not 'know' better, if she did she wouldnt do it. Once again, if she is not trustworthy at this stage of the game (most puppies are not by the way) she should not have unlimited access to your house. With better performance she should get more freedom. Until then she is still learning and it is your job to help her succeed. I hope this helps
