I just got my first Yorkie last weekend, and she has had several accidents. We went to the vet's on Monday, and I got a puppy information package. It says, "If your puppy has soiled on carpet, clean the area and then rub a small quantity (1/2 to 1 teaspoonful) of mothball crystals deep into the pile of the carpet. You should not be able to smell the mothballs when you walk into the room but your puppy will because his sense of smell is so strong. Reapply the mothball crystals every 5 to 7 days for a month. Do not clean with vinegar or ammonia that smell like urine to a dog."

Has anyone used mothballs before and do they work? I assume mothballs are safe for dogs since the info package is from the vet's?

I was told by the breeder that I could use vinegar and water. I told my mom that people said to use 50/50 water and vinegar, but she put less vinegar because she was afraid of it harming my dog, Angel. Angel still goes in some of the spots that I wiped with the mixture. Is it because the vinegar isn't strong enough?

Thanks for any help you can give me!
