dog crates 4 less 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!
Answer
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.

how to keep an energetic dog entertained and busy when not home?
vaishya va
i live with a 2 year old male husky dog who seems to have unlimited energy and giant sized stamina. Regardless of how much i play him or take him out for physical activity, he never tires out. In fact i will get tired faster than he will.
And as a result he is often restless and very playful.
When i go to work he is left alone at home all day with sufficient food and water. How to keep him entertained and busy when he's alone for several hours a day?
Answer
Wow--that's a tough one. Here's the deal: good sled dogs run up to 100 miles a day...in the snow...pulling a sled. That's the kind of breed you have. So unlike most who complain about this issue, your problem really is about the breed rather than an owner that expects a dog to just lay there all day and play fetch for 10 minutes.
The short answer is that there is nothing you can do that is going to solve the problem if your dog is crated for 8-9 hours during the day. Putting the dog outside will work for about 1 hour and then he'll start trying to dig under the fence or begin obsessing about birds or passing sounds (which will turn him into a barking maniac--not good). Turning on the TV will quickly become a nonfactor--it will become background noise. Putting dog entertainment CD's or DVD's on is a joke. A good bone or rawhide....well, if your dog is like I suspect he is, he probably finishes off a good rawhide in 30 minutes or less.
You've got a couple of options, none of them easy and none of them free. They all start with you being willing to give your sled dog a good workout in the morning and evening. Instead of reading the paper when you get up in the, put on some headphones, listen to the radio and take a 20-30 minute run with your husky. And plan on taking a 30 minute walk every evening. If you want variety, than get some roller blades. Also try throwing a ball for 10 minutes in the evening as well.
Also, these are smart dogs so you don't just want to push them physically (by going running or a long walk) but also do tricks with them--challenge him mentally.
1. Hire a dog walker. Have someone come to your house mid-day to walk your husky every weekday. It will cost you something like $10-25 a day. But for a 30 minute walk, it will get your dog out of his crate and take the edge off him when you get home.
2. Put him in doggie daycare. Not some place where he's crated all day with 1-2 short bathroom breaks. But one that has space where he's let out to play with other dogs for an hour or so each day. Or look for someone else who has a dog of similar size that your husky plays with well. Offer a trade: if the neighbor will let you keep your husky at their house during the day (so the two dogs can interact and he can be out of his crate most of the day) and maybe 1 outdoor potty break, you'll walk both dogs together for 30-45 minutes after work each day and then take them both to the park to run around on the weekend.
3. Sign him up for a couple of classes. If you can't do the dog walker or doggie daycare, then you need to enroll in 2-3 classes or performance activities during the week. These become things for your dog to look forward to. They get "this is thursday, it's my flyball class" or "this is saturday, time for weight pull." It will improve your bond with your dog, provide physical and mental stimulation for him but also gives him something to look forward to. Once you get into a routine, it makes it easier for him to handle the long day in his crate.
4. Join dog performance activities (agility, weight pull) that you do on weekends. This probably goes in tandem with the idea of classes (because you can't compete effectively without taking a class).
5. Push the dog harder. Get a dog backpack and load it down with water bottles so the dog is carrying more weight. Get some instruction first but then buy a harness and have your dog pull weights on your own. If it snows in your neck of the woods, have him pull you on a sled. The idea is--make the dog work harder. For indoors, there are dog treadmills. They're expensive and not all dogs love them. And you can't just put a dog on and forget him--it requires surveillance. None of these activities work unless you're willing to get up early and push the dog hard in the morning before you head to work.
