Venus is almost 9 months old. She's about 90% trained. About the time I brag that she hasn't peed on the carpet, I find a spot....and what really gets me, right next to the pee pad.

I've made my mind up now, carpet is coming up soon. But in the meantime, I don't want it to smell like pee!

I've used several carpet cleaning producs, and simple solutions also. Nothing gets the smell our where she can't smell it anymore. She has favorite corners she goes in on the carpet.

Its hard to watch them 24/7 even if your at home all the time. No way I can do it anyway.

And poop, omg. Don't even get me started on that.

When she's totally confined to the kitchen, she goes on her pads. When I bought the disposable ones, I had to duct tape them down to keep her from playing with them! I suppose this tall "jail bar" looking baby gate is a permanent fixture. She stays in the kitchen most of the time now.

I've given up on carpet though. Its got to go! Not real sure whats doing down, but won't be carpet again.

I'm afrid to say she hasn't peed on a rug since I finally put them back down, 1 by 1, very slowly. As soon as I brag, she messes up!

Many of us feel your pain.

I know though, there is no way I could get another pup, as long as there is one piece of carpet left in this house.

Just my 2 cent. If she pees at the carpet in the same spot try to play with her or give treats at that area. Usually she will stop peeing in that area. You can also feed her at that corner if possible. I have chelsea that always make mistake in front of the door. I feed her in that area and she eventually stops. Dogs usually do not like to soil their eating area.
