For those of us who do, we can tell you that the pee string is wet, and the Kleenex we wipe it with gets wet and yellow. If a dog comes in and does not get wiped, that dog will lay on the floor or rug or couch and the pee will just dab off the string onto the surface it is against. I have seen this, a dog gets up and little wet spot is left on the floor. It drys on the floor, rug , couch whatever and its there for how long? If the theory that a dog will just pee because it smells its urine there is correct, dogs would never seemed potty trained. But dogs do potty train and many don't get wiped. I have never used enzyme cleaners and always had quick potty trained dogs. I think it is a total waste of money. |
I agree with you. Kaji is trained to let me know when he has piddled in the pad. As soon as he sees the wipe in my hand he lays down and allows me to wipe him clean. He will lay there until I say "All better" or something similar. So for me, the enzyme cleaner works because I don't allow him to sit on the couch, or anywhere until after he is cleaned. He will wait at the door of the bathroom until he gets my attention, shows me he had piddled so he can get clean. I've been doing this everyday for 8 months so he know this routine really really well. Even when we lived in a better place and he was outside trained he knew the first thing we did was wipe him done after coming inside. The only difference is I use doggie wipes. I use to use baby wipes or wipes made for humans but it's not Ph balanced for their skin, even the sensitive ones, and his "Mr Peeper" sheath was getting red and irritated. I switched to puppy wipes or moisturizing bath wipes and my problem was solved.
