have you been cleaning the carpet area in which he pee'd with odor neutralizer like nature's miracle? he may be smelling his previous stains and thinks the carpet is the right place to go. buy those potty training sprays and spray them on the potty pad. although the potty pads are suppose to be "pre-scented" to teach puppies where it's appropriate to go, i find that it's not enough. spraying the potty pad again myself really helped in housebreaking my puppy.
sometimes puppies need a little exercise to help with the urge to urinate. so locking him in the kitchen with little space to move around may not be the best idea. the walk from the kitchen to the carpet probably motivated his bowels. try walking or playing with him a little bit before putting him on the potty pad to pee or poo.
"pee pad trained" at the trainer's doesn't mean he's going to be perfect in your home. my bunjee is pee pad trained in my condo. he knows exactly where it is in the kitchen and will go from the living room or bedroom to the kitchen to pee or poo. but when we're at my parents' home, it's another story. i have to keep him in a belly band to be sure not to ruin my parents' hardwood floors.
i had bunjee restricted to the non-carpet areas for the first two months i had him. he was only allowed on carpet if he's carried. i also moved the potty pad around on the tiles based on his "favorite accident spots". soon, his favorite pee spots and the potty pad area are one and the same and i was able to move the potty pad around to where i wanted him to go. perhaps you can try something similiar like put a potty pad in the areas he tend to pee on the carpet. put more than one down at a time. and once he starts going on the potty pads more reliably, then move the potty pad to where you want.
don't get too mad at him. as others have said, he's just a baby. he doesn't know any better. it's up to us adults to teach them and set up senarios to help them become successful. |
