If you love carpet you should have it. The problem with tile is if they pee on it (my housecleaners clean for a neighbor who's dog pees on the tile) and they said it is a real problem cleaning the grout. They are on their hands and knees scrubbing it. I am pretty stern with Jess when it comes to peeing on the carpet. I would keep your baby in a small room for now without carpet and (laundry room) or gate off and place pee pads everywhere. Eventually remove them one by one. Praise him to the hilts when he goes on them. I don't know how your pup responds but when I tried only positive renforcement it didn't work. She didn't get why she could pee on the carpet. So when she did, even if I didn't catch in the act I let her know in no uncertain terms it was not right. I don't hit or scream but made it real clear its a nono. After two months she got it. Except for an accident last week in my daughters room in the middle of the night(where she landed up having to sleep back in her crate)she hasn't had an accident on the carpet. She runs all the way downstairs to her crate and lets us know she did it and should get a treat.
Bottom line, you should get what YOU want and have your pup learn carpet pee is a no no..Good luck! |
Yes that grout is tricky. I wanted to go with a big tile and a small grout line, the grout we would pick would be dark too.
Peanut is 6 lol I don't know if this habit is just stuck in him. The thing with Peanut is he knows where to go, he can go on his pad or in his dog run outside- which is connected the the house, he goes out of his doggy door. One half of the house he has that and the other he has a pad. Every time I catch a pee spot I bring it up and he runs outside or he runs to his pad and gives me that look!! LOL
It is more frustrating because he isn't a 6 month old puppy that doesn't know- he is a 6 year old dog that knows, but just goes where he wants! LOL
