Q. We have a toy chihuahua and we have an extra bedroom where she stays during the day because of her being so small she doesnt stay outside. She is an indoor dog. I am looking to redo the entire flooring in that room. She uses pee pads so I am looking for a flooring that can hold up to urine and is easy to clean. We are putting in Laminte flooring in the rest of the house and don't think the laminte floors will hold up in that room. Maybe like a 12" title with a very high sheen. Something I can use a rag to clean up the floor with bleach. Something the urine won't soak into.
What are your thoughts? Please add a link if you have a great suggestion. Thank you!

Tile is good. It is easy to clean up, which is important. However, it must be installed perfectly - if there are any cracks, the urine could seep under it and be impossible to clean. Rather than choose a floor to withstand her urinating, have you considered buying her a kennel? You could by her a large kennel or pen with it's own floor and use it in that room or the basement. I linked an example, but you could easily design your own and put one together at a much lower cost.

Answer
no no no no no!
These are NOT good suggestions :(
The thing you HAVE to remember with animals is that they don't have long term memories, and CAN'T connect the punishment' with the 'did bad'.
Here's the scenario:
Your pup is home, alone and bored and curls up with your favorite pair of shoes. They smell like you. This is happy. Being a dog, after a couple minutes he starts to gnaw on them because they also spell of other things not too differnet from his toys. Proudly, he tears them apart and leaves them in the middle of the floor so that when you come home you can see what a good hunter he was and howgood he did. You come home, hours later, and he gallosp up to meet you at the door, tail wagging happily.. Anger clouds your eyes and you start yelling. He doesn't know what you're saying or why you're angry. All he knows is that you're there suddenly yelling at him for greeting him at the door.
you should NEVER hit an animal. It happens sometimes, but, ther's a big diference between a tap on the nose and "No Bite." and hauling off and smacking him.
To me, it sounds like your dog is bored. So he goes looking for evertainment, jsut as you might open a book or log on to the internet.
I think the best idea for you is crate training. You can find a wole lot of pages abuot HOW to crate train your dog, just by googling 'crate training'... but the short version of what creat training is as follows: You get a suitabley sized cage/indoor kennel, and over the course of time, you help your animal to learn that that cage is his 'room'. This is NOT done by locking him in it... it takes time, to make the cage seem like an interesting and unscary place to be, and you slowly start closing him inside the cage for short durations, building up to longer periods...
Properly trained, the dog will go to his 'room' when he's scared, or tired or jsut wanting to chill out somewhere. Then, at this point, you can start to leave him locked in the crate when you go out. again, this will take TIME.
The crate is NOT a place of punnishment and should ONLY have positive associations with it. Crate training is very useful also if you ever expect to have guests over who might not approciate your dog's attentions, or if you need to travel with him.
This will take a while, but ultimately will pay off. :)
In the mean time, try to keep tempting things out of jaw's reach.
Also, consider getting him a few toys (rotate them out) that are designed to keep him busy... balls that distributed tiny treats one bit at a time, those rubber kong things that you can spear Peanutbutter into, etc.
Though the suggestions for leaivng the radio on is a good one too. :D
This is a hard question to answer because there's so much we don't know. Is he alone? how old is he? how long has he been yours? is he a breed known for separation anxiety?
no no no no no!
