| Pee pee dilemma Okay, I have two Yorkies who have always been very good about doing their business on their potty pads during the day while we're out, but since we've moved we've had some problems. First off, our old house had wall to wall carpeting and we never had any "accidents", but our new house has hardwood floors so we purchased area rugs.....this is where the problems began. We have some really nice area rugs which we came to find out after a while were being utilized as pee pee pads. The carpets are dark and thick so we had no idea until we could smell the pee what was really going on and now I'm not sure what to do. This has been an ongoing thing, they will even go in the restroom and pee on the throws in there! We have had to take all the carpets out of the house and close up the rooms that do have carpet. I would love to be able to put my carpets back in my house (yes, they've been steam cleaned), but I don't want to have the same issue all over again. Any suggestions, secrets, ideas, recommendations or similar experiences that you are willing to share? I would love to get the $1000 worth of carpets sitting in storage and use them again. Thanks! Miles & Bella's Mommy |

| I have no idea what to tell you. It could work to put the old carpets back in because it may feel more like "home" to them, but my experience has been bad with carpets in any way shape or form. Mine are pad trained, but for some reason if we go anywhere there is carpet or rugs - there they go. I just don't get it myself. Sorry.

| Are they rubber backed? Simon and Nigel will pee on rubber backed carpets but not on regular carpets. If you do decide to place the rugs back down make sure that you spray them with Simple Splution or some other enzyme cleaner because if they smell pee they will go right back on there. |

| pee pee on rugs Hi thanks for the reply. Actually we had been using the spray and it didn't work at all. The carpets have been steam cleaned and they even had a pet odor remover spray they used on it and still they go pee on them. I don't know what to do.....I've tried everything I can think of! Thx, mandbsmom |
