another question bites the dust?

Hi guys: (ill try keep this short as possible) Ive got an Indoor pug, both myself and partner work during the day. its hard to teach her or catch her out pottying. Problem is, she is restricted to the large kitchen during the day until we get home. During winter in aust, tiles are very cold. (no doubt her sleeping on cold tiles all the time, in the long run Arthritis will most likely emerge). we have tried many types of: Beds, Blankets, Mats & personal clothing... to try make her rest on there. But all she ever does is end up Urinating on them as a potty mat or something. (just seems like you CANT have anything thats Fabric or linen on the floor. Our last Resort was a DOG HAMMOCK, which is cool in summer also...and elevated... but NO GOOD..... she still urinated on there as well. but at this point....Is there any way to teach her to use the Hammock as a bed when were gone??? We try and tell her its a good place by giving her treats whilst sitting on it. (but whether she actually uses it or not, its uncertain unless we have a CCTV to watch her.) Can anyone shed some light on this? our Pug is 4 years old, she wasnt taught well from previous owners, we bought her with no manners & disobedient. So we need plenty of advice from you guys... thanks in advance.... jamie

thanks guys i dont think confinement helps because she is usually kept in the large kitchen most of the day when we go to work. she ALWAYS does no#1 and no#2 in 2 different spots.... which is ok for now... but as soon as we open the door to other rooms.....she tends to get confused. no#2 seems easier as you can move the plop to where you want her to do it and keep showing her but no#1.... is it even possible? because when we catch her doing it....we yell out but its just too late. i suppose either wiping the scent on the new Dog loo or spray the scent spray there daily?

no one.... i guess a pug forum would be the best for this

hi guys ive got a 3.5 year old Female Pug. currently we are training her to potty in places we want her to toilet. AND, getting her to sleep in the doggie bed on the floor beside us. Problem:Previous owner locked her out during the day & let her out potty in the backyard. So shes used to that. now, we dont live in somewhere with alot of access outside. especially during the day. Need her to potty in a certain spot. (i am buying a doggie Loo in a few days) So any tips on getting her to both no#1 & no#2 on the same pet toilet/loo? She does it in a usual 2 spots but before bed and early in the morning she has a habbit of dropping a rock in the lounge room carpet and wee there also. i know the usual, get a newspaper handy, if she does it ...give her a bit of a pat with it. but what if she has done it without us knowing minutes a go?.....im guessing take it to the spot that is prefered? Problem:Previous owner let her sleep on the bed at night. to me thats not preferable. but she can sleep beside me on the floor. we bought her a little doggie bed. she seems to know that we want her there...because when we point her to the bed...she goes there. But shes very sneaky...she watches us fall asleep and keeps an eye on us. and when we do, she jumps on. what can we do? i understand this needs persistancy and patience... which is fine. but like i said... i need guidance and knowledge here. please help lily the pug!
