I'm wondering if we need to get the rugs professionally cleaned and he's peeing on them b/c he smells his scent? Otherwise, I dont' know why he does unless it's a spite/attention thing.
Any ideas/comments appreciated! |
Enzyme cleaner works for this. Other cleaners might clean what we smell, but our pupsters have super strong noses. They smell what we can't. I use Natures Miracle and I get it at PetSmart. I buy it by the gallon so I always have it on hand.
This goes for both the OP and you, if your house smells like a giant potty, he's going to think your house IS a giant potty and go anywhere. Make sure the only place that smells like a potty is his potty area. Like Maximo said, use something to attract them to that one place. Another way to attract them is to place a little bit of their own pee on the new clean paper/piddle pad. I know, it sounds gross, but all you do is dab the new paper/piddle pad with the old.
