Thank you for your response, When I was going to the bathroom, I saw two spots on the pee pad, so I claped and shouted good boy and girl and followed with a treat. This is what I started doing with Cabella when I first got her. An hour later we went outside and then when we came in, I put them back in the crate. I thought perhaps I need to take back over as pack leader and letting them earn their freedom to roam until we get this back under control. I just felt so bad for Cabella after she gave birth and done so well with the puppies and it seemed to take FOREVER for her system to get back to normal that I didn't want to crate her, so this situation is more my fault than anything. Thanks for the tip on the vinegar, I hadn't thought of that and I do have a new bissel carpet cleaner that has the attachment. I am getting it now.....Wish me luck..The couch isn't a year old......Sharon |
