Gracie has always loved her pee pads but during her first year certain things would set her off and she would start to go pee next to them instead of on them. Changes in the house hold, my daughter moving in, one of my other kids moving out seemed to send her into a potty tail spin. We haven't had any major changes in the last year and so far have had no more accidents, thankfully.
There are certain area rugs and throw rugs that have a type of rubber like backing that actually have the scent of urine on the backing. Those rugs will attract cats and dogs to urinate on them. I had to get rid of all my area rugs with that type of backing long ago. Even now I have to make sure the small rug in the bathroom is picked up and hung on the side of the tub after every use. Hopefully, that is not what is attracting your dog to pee on your rug. |
