Forgive me, I haven't read all the posts, so I'm not sure if I'm just repeating someone else...I think it is nearly impossible to really train a dog, if you have carpet, because no matter what you use to clean the carpet, the "scent" will always be there in the padding, tempting them!!!...I worked for 6 months, trying to get Apple trained, and couldn't get it done...After I took out the carpet, and put in laminate, she was trained in less than two weeks...I knew, when I use nature's miracle on the laminate, it really did get it all up...I took her out, regularly, and praised (and gave treats) for outside potty successes...As soon as she goes, I tell her good girl, lets go get a treat...Not sure if this is feasible for your situation, but it sure worked for us...Good luck!!! |
