Hi
If you email me your address, I will be happy to send you some of the spray we use on the Piddle Place. Vinegar and baking soda will not break down the urine, or remove the odor. If your dog is avoiding the area now it might must be because she doesn't like the smell. Dogs have such sensitive noses, even if we can smell the urine spot, they certainly can. The Bio+ is also a natural product. I will send to you, just spray in on the place where Sophie was urinating and she should no longer go to that spot.
I know Jaz hated to be crated as well, but when I tried the set up where the dog has her crate, and leave the crate open to a play area (where she can see me) She was happy in her "home" I had her dog potty in that area. She learned to use just it, and now I no longer need the fence. When you had Sophie in a confined area, could she still see you?
Here is a link from lots of people that have had the same problems. They all post great ideas as to what has worked for them.
