It is so strange to me how they will all develop different places they like to pee. Maggie only goes outside and only in the grass. She doesn't go on the sidewalk. Even when we walk on the trails in the woods which can be sandy, rocky or leafy, she will walk off the trail into a mossy or leaf covered area and go. She just knows not to go on the path. It's very weird.
I don't think she would ever go on my rugs unless an emergency. I am careful at a friend's house whose dog used to pee on their carpet though. Pee pads seem like a handy idea because you can leave the dog longer without getting taken out, but I don't like to leave her so long that she can't hold it anyway. I would be afraid of carpets being used as pee pads, and I don't like a pee smell.
Take up the carpet until your baby is trained. A blanket won't stop the pee from going thru as it is a concentrated stream. You could put a waterproof sheet under the blanket. |
