They have their accidents on the carpet. I clean it with the Nature's Miracle stuff, and they just pick a new spot to go in. Giorgie has even started lifting his leg at doorways, etc.....which infuriates me. They live in the bathroom when I am not home, and use the pads 100% while in there. When they come out....it's like race to find a spot to go. I even take them for long walks sometimes to try to reduce this......but I do not understand. They are not fixed because I had intended on breeding them. I would do the belly band on him, but since he is trained(HA) to go inside on the pads, I do not think that would be effective. I am on the verge of removing the pads, and buying crates. I am renting, but my lease is over in 1 month, so I am considering getting a place with no carpet in hopes that it will help. I love them so much, and I just wish they would act right. I am scared that they will never be trained..........
