Peeing in same spot Venus has been peeing in this same spot. I keep spraying a mixture of 1/2 white vinegar and 1/2 water on the spots. I let it sit then use the carpet cleaner on it. Next day, she pees again...same spot. I gave up and put a pee pee pad in that spot tonight, and low and behold....she peed on it! Am I not mixing the vinegar and water right? Is there something that will neutralize the smell better than that. I've tried keeping her where she peed, and spaying that spot, then spraying her nose with it too, as someone here said to do, but this isn't working too well either. She doesn't like being sprayed, but then again, next night, she'll go in the same spot, or close by, again. In the kitchen, there is no problem at all, but its not carpet. If she's confined, she always pees on her pads. But now, the bathroom, is ceramic. Never fails when she's in there...she'll go on the ceramic. I tried the spray mixure, but she'll do it the next time she's in there. The past 2 nights, I've let her sleep on the bed with Adonis and I. I put a pee pad in my bedroom. She hasn't used it. And she hasn't been waking me 2 times a night to potty, like she'd been doing in her crate. She's sleeping all night long, for once!! She can go up and down the stairs I made to the bed. I haven't "seen" anywhere that she went at night, and hoping she went to the kitchen if she had to go. I know she didn't go on the bed. Seems at times, if I put a pad down in another room she won't use it. But sometimes, she just don't get to the kitchen either and will pee where she's at. And she does this so fast, by the time I try to stop her, she's finished. If I try keeping her confined to the kitchen, she whines, and cries sooo loud, I know my next door neighbor is probably thinking I'm killing her. Not really sure what to do. I know my carpet cleaner is now "parked" in the hallway. Oh, btw...she's a few days away from being 5 months old. |
For the most part Lillie does very well on her pee pads. She does tend to go on the rug, floor, and she has even peed on my couch! I also have an adult (sadie, 2 1/2 yrs old) she sometimes goes on the pad...very rarely though...sometimes they do so good and I think "FINALLY" they got it then, right back to peeing on the carpet...I have tried everything to get them to stop...I only have throw rugs cause I have hard wood floors...I am thinking of taking up the rugs until I can get them trained 100%..Problem is I don't know if you can ever get the scent out! Maybe we can't smell it but I'm sure those little noses so close to the floor can still smell it and that is why they still go in the same spot...I have had several dogs in my 49 years and I have never had such a hard time housebreaking any of them like I am with the yorkies. |

I would set her bed or something over the spot where she insists on peeing, or a pee pad . Just give it more time, she just needs a bit more maturity before she can put it all together. |
I have the same potty problem!! I have three young dogs who pottied in the same spot. When Xella was a puppy, she peed in the corner in my room. I scrubbed the carpet like CRAZY! Over and over again she peed. I tried every product, home remedy, anything to make the scent go away. When Xander was a puppy, he peed in the same area! I rented a carpet cleaner machine, cleaned the area four times, and then let it dry. I used the no potty sprays but they only seem to work for a few days. He stopped peeing for a while. Now my four month old yorkie puppy Sofia pees there. No products I have tried worked! This Thanksgiving weekend we are ripping up the carpet. Last resort! Sofie doesn't pee there anymore, she's trained now, but the smell from the past two years makes you faint! The smell gets worse and worse as bacteria continues to grow under the carpet. Haha, it's terrible, really. The only thing I can do now is block off all carpeted areas and take them out every thirty minutes to an hour to pee. :p |
Ahhhh, please don't tell me I have to yank my carpet up!! I did put a pee pee pad where she'd been peeing, like JeanieK suggested and I think that stopped it. I put it over the exact spot she peed in the last time. I think the time before, it was close to that spot, but not the "exact" same spot. I feel my home is full of pee pad, lol. I have 4 down, and my home isn't that big. She did better last night. But when I was watching tv, I'd wait for commercials, and we'd go to the kitchen, where the other 2 pads were. That pad I put in the doorway, where she'd been peeing, she didn't use till the middle of the night last night. She wanted out of her crate to potty. I let her out, and followed her. She stopped on that pad I put down instead of going the other 6 foot into the kitchen! Well, least that pad now has the "smell" on it. I finally put down one throw rug in the kitchen. The one thats the easiest to wash! I put my shoes on it, and walked all over it so my "scent" would be on it. Hope that works! I'd sure like to put the other 4 rugs back down! And in the bathroom, she's peed on the floor 2 times, in the same spot. Maybe I'll chorox that spot, since the vinegar isn't wroking that well. My bathrooms are ceramic. |
If you have grout between tile, you have to scrub it really good. Try a toothbrush. |
Ahhh, thanks Amira... I will do that! |
